Abstract
We define a new network structure to realize a continuous version of t he Boltzmann machine (BM). Based on mean field (MF) theory for continu ous and multidimensional elements named ''rotors,'' we derive the corr esponding MF learning algorithm. Simulations demonstrate the learning capability of this network for continuous and piecewise continuous map pings. The rotor neurons ave specially suited for cyclic problems of a rbitrary dimension.
