  • Abstract
    Summary form only given, as follows. A parallel distributed processing architecture called an entropy machine (EM) is proposed. This machine, which is based on an artificial neural network composed of massive neurons and interconnections, is used for solving a variety of NP-complete optimization problems. The EM performs the parallel distributed gradient descent method or gradient ascent method to search for minima or maxima.<>
