Description
Summary:We propose an associative learning model using reward modulated spike-time dependent plasticity in reinforcement learning paradigm. The task of learning is to associate a stimulus pair, known as the predictor−choice pair, to a target response.In our model, a generic architecture of neural network has been used, with minimal assumption about the network dynamics.We demonstrate that stimulus-stimulus-response association can be implemented in a stochastic way within a noisy setting.The network has rich dynamics resulting from its recurrent connectivity and background activity. The algorithm can learn temporal sequence detection and solve temporal XOR problem.
