Question:
(a) Destroy parts of the matrix at random (by setting random indexes to zero) and see how it distorts the output, that is, do a numerical ablation experiment. One of the virtues of matrix models is generally felt to be their resistance to noise and damage. Although this statement is often made, it is seldom actually demonstrated. Convince yourself that this biologically important property is true. You can use the cosine between pre- and post-ablated outputs as a measure of damage. There are other measures, but this is a reasonable one and it is easy to compute.
Question: Would you expect the response of the system to damage to depend on the representation of data in the network? If so, why? Can you give reasons?
