Journal paper on spike-triggered short-term plasticity enhancing stochastic neural computation

Our paper "Spiking neurons with short-term synaptic plasticity form superior generative networks" has just been published in Nature Scientific Reports. Taking inspiration from biological synapse dynamics, we propose an important computational role of short-term plasticity in the context of pattern generation and completion. By locally modulating the energy landscape, spiking networks endowed with this mechanism can efficiently solve what is known as the mixing problem in machine learning.
