Positive Neural Networks in Discrete Time Implement Monotone-Regular Behaviors.

abstract：:The relationship between a neuron's complex inputs and its spiking output defines the neuron's coding strategy. This is frequently and effectively modeled phenomenologically by one or more linear filters that extract the components of the stimulus that are relevant for triggering spikes and a nonlinear function that r...
