Patent US 11,636,318

Techniques and mechanisms for servicing a search query using a spiking neural network. In an embodiment, a spiking neural network receives an indication of a first context of the search query, wherein a set of nodes of the spiking neural network each correspond to a respective entry of a repository. One or more nodes of the set of nodes are each excited to provide a respective cyclical response based on the first context, wherein a first cyclical response is by a first node. Due at least in part to a coupling of the excited nodes, a perturbance signal, based on a second context of the search query, results in a change of the first resonance response relative to one or more other resonance responses. In another embodiment, data corresponding to the first node is selected, based on the change, as an at least partial result of the search query.
