It learns four
distinct pattern of activity for the 3 hidden
|
|
|
units. These patterns correspond to the nodes in the
|
|
|
finite state
automaton.

Do
not confuse units in a neural network with nodes
|
|
|
in
a finite state automaton. Nodes are like activity
|
|
|
vectors.
|
|
|
– |
The
automaton is restricted to be in exactly one state
|
|
at
each time. The hidden units are restricted to have
|
|
|
exactly
one vector of activity at each time.

A recurrent network can emulate a finite
state
|
|
|
automaton, but
it is exponentially more powerful. With N
|
|
hidden neurons
it has 2^N possible binary activity
|
|
|
vectors in the
hidden units.
|
|

This
is important when the input stream has several
|
|
|
separate
things going on at once. A finite state
|
|
|
automaton
cannot cope with this properly.
