Dynamic Boltzmann machine for estimating time-varying second moment

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method includes employing a dynamic Boltzmann machine (DyBM) to predict a higher-order moment of time-series datasets. The method further includes acquiring the time-series datasets transmitted from a source node to a destination node of a neural network including a plurality of nodes, learning, by the processor, a time-series generative model based on the DyBM with eligibility traces, and obtaining, by the processor, parameters of a generalized auto-regressive heteroscedasticity (GARCH) model to predict a time-varying second-order moment of the times-series datasets.
