Abstract

A category-theoretic account of neural network semantics has been used to characterize concept representation in neural memory. This involves categories of objects and morphisms representing the activity in connectionist structures at different stages of weight adaptation. The definition used in this previous work for the notion of a neural morphism does not allow temporal memories to be retrieved stepwise as event sequences-all events must be retrieved simultaneously. An extended definition is proposed that enables episodic information to be retrieved in time sequence.
