Summary:
A direct gradient descent learning algorithm of energy function in Hopfield neural networks is proposed. The gradient descent learning is not performed on usual error functions, but the Hopfield energy functions directly. We demonstrate the algorithm by testing it on an analog-to-digital conversion and an associative memory problems.
