abstract：:This article presents a new paradigm of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs): the Auto-Contractive Maps (Auto-CM). The Auto-CM differ from the traditional ANNs under many viewpoints: the Auto-CM start their learning task without a random initialization of their weights, they meet their convergence criterion when all thei...
