Abstract

This paper presents the results of a series of experiments conducted by our group involving the application of Boltzmann Machines to a variety of problems. The main aim of these experiments is to asses the empirical behavior of the BM, because althought BM are widely referenced in the literature, very few, if any, exhaustive experimental explorations of their behavior have been done.
