Two months ago I posted the following query, which got zero response: ----------------------------------------------------------------- In most applications of ANNs, learning consists of changing the weights until desired behavior is reached. In these applications no learning takes place after the weights are fixed. In a feed-forward network no such learning is possible. However, a recurrent network has the possibility of learning even after the weights are fixed. I would like to know about any examples where this has been accomplished. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Since then I have learned of only one relevant item: Evolving Adaptive Neural Networks with and Without Adaptive Synapses (2003) by Kenneth O. Stanley, Bobby D. Bryant, and Risto Miikkulainen It can be found here: http://nn.cs.utexas.edu And, I have also created an ANN that learns with fixed weights. It solves a simple puzzle requiring active use of memory. The memory is in the state of this highly recurrent ANN. Complete detailed explanation and C software is available now for free download from the URL below.
