Boltzmann machines/AI Research/Norvig/Russell: Boltzmann machines (Hinton and Sejnowski, 1983(1), 1986(2)) [like recurrent networks esp. Hopfield networks; >Association/AI Research
)] use symmetric weights, but include hidden units. In addition, they use a stochastic activation function, such that the probability of the output being 1 is some function of the total weighted input. Boltzmann machines therefore undergo state transitions that resemble a simulated annealing search
(…) for the configuration that best approximates the training set. It turns out that Boltzmann machines are very closely related to a special case of Bayesian networks evaluated with a stochastic simulation algorithm.
