[comp.ai.neural-nets] how to compute fractal dimension of NN's

ssingh@watserv1.waterloo.edu ($anjay [+] $ingh - Indy Studz) (09/21/90)

I know this topic has come up before, but if anyone has a list of 
references, or knows of the definitive method for calculating the
fractal dimension of a neural net, please reply to me and let me in
on this.

I'll be happy to post a summary or to forward any info. Just ask.
Thanks for reading...

BTW, the only reference I know of to do this involved Lyapunov exponents,
but it was too terse to do anything with.

Gee, they even use fractals in neural nets. How is this related to neural nets?
I know a neural is a sort of a dynamical system, so you can study attractors
and other beasts and characterize them by fractal dimensions and the sort...

Just curious
