During training the synaptic weights are evaluated and after training, the network should be able to reproduce the learned behaviour.
From theCambridge English Corpus
During learning, the neocortical information that enters the hippocampus by way of the entorhinal cortex alters the synaptic weights in hippocampal circuits.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The changes insynapticweightthat occur is known as synaptic plasticity, and the process behind long-term changes (long-term potentiation and depression) is still poorly understood.

It was hypothesized that modulation of the asociative changes in synaptic weights implies abnormal interactions between certain areas, such as prefronto-temporal interactions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Of course, the brain does not compute by using probability distributions, but through synaptic weights and neural activation functions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
If the program were able to learn to set its own synaptic weights, the problem of scaling-up associated with hand-coding could quite possibly be overcome.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Scaling can be multiplicative (multiplying or dividing the strength of each synapse by a constant number) or additive (adding or subtracting the same value from thesynapticweight).

The partitioning of the arbor into separate circuits greatly simplifies the constraint of channel densities and individual synaptic weights, and provides for a large repertoire of distinct computations.
From theCambridge English Corpus
