Abstract
A parallel and stochastic version of Hopfield-like neural networks is presented. Cauchy color noise is assumed. The specific noise is desirable for fast convergence to a fixed point representing a neighborhood minimum. It can be quickly quenched at each iteration according to a proven cooling schedule in generating random states on the energy landscape. An exact Cauchy acceptance criterion is analytically derived for hill-climbing capability. The improvement is twofold: a faster cooling schedule (the inversely linear cooling schedule characterized by the Cauchy simulated annealing) and parallel executions of all neurons. Such a Cauchy machine can be electronically implemented, and the design is given.<>
