abstract = {This paper presents two novel neural networks based on snap-drift in the context of self-organisation and sequence learning. The snap-drift neural network employs modal learning that is a combination of two modes; fuzzy {AND} learning (snap), and Learning Vector Quantisation (drift). We present the snap-drift self-organising map ({SDSOM}) and the recurrent snap-drift neural network ({RSDNN}). The {SDSOM} uses the standard {SOM} architecture, where a layer of input nodes connects to the self-organising map layer and the weight update consists of either snap (min of input and weight) or drift ({LVQ}, as in {SOM}). The {RSDNN} uses a simple recurrent network ({SRN}) architecture, with the hidden layer values copied back to the input layer. A form of reinforcement learning is deployed in which the mode is swapped between the snap and drift when performance drops, and in which adaptation is probabilistic, whereby the probability of a neuron being adapted is reduced as performance increases. The algorithms are evaluated on several well known data sets, and it is found that these exhibit effective learning that is faster than alternative neural network methods.},
