2-hop · via this concept's ideas

Where ideas in this concept connect to the rest of the corpus — the same concept, an analogy, or a restatement elsewhere.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

Feed-forward networksconcept0.751
Networks without feedback loops, such as the Perceptron; limited to linearly separable functions.
Flow networksconcept0.735
Networks for transport via fluid flow (biological vascular, engineered microfluidic); pipe properties adapt locally to control flow conductance and enable learning
Elastic networksconcept0.713
Spring networks and mechanical systems used to demonstrate physical learning through modifications of bond stiffnesses in response to strain
Neural Networksconcept0.711
accept.requestmethod0.705
An Elephant action meaning to do what is requested.
Recurrent networksconcept0.699
Networks with loop connections that can maintain internal state and exhibit dynamical attractors.
Highway Networksconcept0.698
Early Schmidhuber group architecture using residual connections, precursor to the residual stream structure in transformers
network of sequencesconcept0.697
The interdependence of morphogenetic sequences, where each triggers others to repair the whole environment, analogous to arithmetic operations.
