  • Abstract
    The quantron is a new artificial neuron model, able to solve nonlinear classification problems, for which an efficient learning algorithm has yet to be developed. Using surrogate potentials, constraints on some parameters and an infinite number of potentials, we obtain analytical expressions involving ceiling functions for the activation function of the quantron. We then show how to retrieve the parameters of a neuron from the images it produced.
