Abstract

We introduce a learning algorithm for feed-forward neural networks with synapses which only can take a discrete number of values. The main novelty respect to other discrete learning techniques is a different strategy in the search for solutions which turns out to be quite effective. Generalizations to any arbitrary distribution of discrete weights are straightforward.
