Convolutional Bipartite Attractor Networks
In human perception and cognition, a fundamental operation that brains perform is interpretation: constructing coherent neural states from noisy, incomplete, and intrinsically ambiguous evidence. The problem of interpretation is well matched to an early and often overlooked architecture, the attractor network---a recurrent neural net that performs constraint satisfaction, imputation of missing features, and clean up of noisy data via energy minimization dynamics. We revisit attractor nets in light of modern deep learning methods and propose a convolutional bipartite architecture with a novel training loss, activation function, and connectivity constraints. We tackle larger problems than have been previously explored with attractor nets and demonstrate their potential for image completion and super-resolution. We argue that this architecture is better motivated than ever-deeper feedforward models and is a viable alternative to more costly sampling-based generative methods on a range of supervised and unsupervised tasks.

The persistence of bipartite ecological communities with Lotka-Volterra dynamics
The assembly and persistence of ecological communities can be understood as the result of the interaction and migration of species. Here we study a single community subject to migration from a species pool in which inter…
NLP Occupational Emergence Analysis: How Occupations Form and Evolve in Real Time -- A Zero-Assumption Method Demonstrated on AI in the US Technology Workforce, 2022-2026
Occupations form and evolve faster than classification systems can track. We propose that a genuine occupation is a self-reinforcing structure (a bipartite co-attractor) in which a shared professional vocabulary makes pr…
Autonomous Learning of Attractors for Neuromorphic Computing with Wien Bridge Oscillator Networks
We present an oscillatory neuromorphic primitive implemented with networks of coupled Wien bridge oscillators and tunable resistive couplings. Phase relationships between oscillators encode patterns, and a local Hebbian …
Multiplex Bipartite Network Embedding using Dual Hypergraph Convolutional Networks
A bipartite network is a graph structure where nodes are from two distinct domains and only inter-domain interactions exist as edges. A large number of network embedding methods exist to learn vectorial node representati…

We describe a dynamical system in which a symbolic field is coupled to a geometric field via a bipartite Hilbert-Schmidt kernel. The system is fully described by a retarded functional differential equation (RFDE) on the …
