Vector Hopfield Model

Models

VectorHopfield

$$H(\mathbf{s}) = - \sum_{i,j}J_{ij} \mathbf{s}_i \mathbf{s}_j$$

$$J_{ij} = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{\mu=1}^P \mathbf{x}_i^\mu \cdot \mathbf{x}_j^\mu$$

where $x_{\gamma i}^\mu$ are memories and

$$ \mathbf{x} _i \cdot \mathbf{x} _j=\sum_{\gamma=1}^d x_{\gamma i},x_{\gamma j}$$

TensorHopfield

$$H(\mathbf{s}) = - \sum_{\gamma,i,\delta,j}J_{\gamma i \delta j} s_{\gamma i} s_{\delta j}$$

$$J_{ij} = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{\mu=1}^P x_{\gamma i}^\mu x_{\delta j}^\mu$$

where $x_{\gamma i}^\mu$ are memories.

Basic structure

• src contains the classes
• run contains scripts to run various experiments
• plot contains scripts to make plots quickly

Usage

The file hopfield.py in src contains the class VectorHopfield, which implements the basic functions to create a dataset of random examples, build the Hebb rule and run the dynamics, both in the synchronous and asynchronous fashion.

The basic usage is to declare an instance of the class and call its method run_dynamics():

import src.hopfield as H

## generate the model
N=500; d=2; P=20
model = H.VectorHopfield(N,d,P)

## check if the first example is a stable fixed point
q, it = model.run_dynamics(model.examples[0,:,:])

## print the final magnetization q
print(N,d,P,q)

Graphs presented in the paper are in two folders:

• graphs contains notebooks and data to reproduce plots for Section 3 (below saturation)
• notebooks_first_step contains notebook and data to reproduce plots for Section 4 (above saturation)

Those notebooks contain both the code to produce the data with simulations and the data produced to reproduce the plots
