An Examination And Analysis Of The Boltzmann Machine, Its Mean Field Theory Approximation, And Learning Algorithm, Vincent Clive Phillips
Theses : Honours
It is currently believed that artificial neural network models may form the basis for inte1ligent computational devices. The Boltzmann Machine belongs to the class of recursive artificial neural networks and uses a supervised learning algorithm to learn the mapping between input vectors and desired outputs. This study examines the parameters that influence the performance of the Boltzmann Machine learning algorithm. Improving the performance of the algorithm through the use of a naïve mean field theory approximation is also examined. The study was initiated to examine the hypothesis that the Boltzmann Machine learning algorithm, when used with the mean field approximation, …

Theses : Honours
This paper describes the evolution of data base technology from early computing to the sophisticated systems of today. It presents an overview of the most popular data base management systems architectures such as hierarchical, network, relational and object-oriented. The last section of this paper presents a view of the factors that will influence the future of data base technology.
