Theory of Interacting Neural Networks
In this contribution we give an overview over recent work on the theory of
interacting neural networks. The model is defined in Section 2. The typical
teacher/student scenario is considered in Section 3. A static teacher network
is presenting training examples for an adaptive student network. In the case of
multilayer networks, the student shows a transition from a symmetric state to
specialisation. Neural networks can also generate a time series. Training on
time series and predicting it are studied in Section 4. When a network is
trained on its own output, it is interacting with itself. Such a scenario has
implications on the theory of prediction algorithms, as discussed in Section 5.
When a system of networks is trained on its minority decisions, it may be
considered as a model for competition in closed markets, see Section 6. In
Section 7 we consider two mutually interacting networks. A novel phenomenon is
observed: synchronisation by mutual learning. In Section 8 it is shown, how
this phenomenon can be applied to cryptography: Generation of a secret key over
a public channel.Comment: Contribution to Networks, ed. by H.G. Schuster and S. Bornholdt, to

Synchronization of random walks with reflecting boundaries
Reflecting boundary conditions cause two one-dimensional random walks to
synchronize if a common direction is chosen in each step. The mean
synchronization time and its standard deviation are calculated analytically.
Both quantities are found to increase proportional to the square of the system
size. Additionally, the probability of synchronization in a given step is
analyzed, which converges to a geometric distribution for long synchronization
times. From this asymptotic behavior the number of steps required to
synchronize an ensemble of independent random walk pairs is deduced. Here the
synchronization time increases with the logarithm of the ensemble size. The
results of this model are compared to those observed in neural synchronization.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures; introduction changed, typos correcte
Pulses of chaos synchronization in coupled map chains with delayed transmission
Pulses of synchronization in chaotic coupled map lattices are discussed in
the context of transmission of information. Synchronization and
desynchronization propagate along the chain with different velocities which are
calculated analytically from the spectrum of convective Lyapunov exponents.
Since the front of synchronization travels slower than the front of
desynchronization, the maximal possible chain length for which information can
be transmitted by modulating the first unit of the chain is bounded.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, updated version as published in PR
Neural Cryptography
Two neural networks which are trained on their mutual output bits show a
novel phenomenon: The networks synchronize to a state with identical time
dependent weights. It is shown how synchronization by mutual learning can be
applied to cryptography: secret key exchange over a public channel.Comment: 9th International Conference on Neural Information Processing,

Interacting neural networks and cryptography
Two neural networks which are trained on their mutual output bits are
analysed using methods of statistical physics. The exact solution of the
dynamics of the two weight vectors shows a novel phenomenon: The networks
synchronize to a state with identical time dependent weights. Extending the
models to multilayer networks with discrete weights, it is shown how
synchronization by mutual learning can be applied to secret key exchange over a
public channel.Comment: Invited talk for the meeting of the German Physical Societ
Limit cycles of a perceptron
An artificial neural network can be used to generate a series of numbers. A
boolean perceptron generates bit sequences with a periodic structure. The
corresponding spectrum of cycle lengths is investigated analytically and
numerically; it has similarities with properties of rational numbers.Comment: LaTeX and 4 postscript pages of figure
