Abstract

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are one of the most widely employed forms of bio-inspired computation. However the current trend is for ANNs to be structurally homogeneous. Furthermore, this structural homogeneity requires the application of complex training and learning tools that produce application specific ANNs, susceptible to pitfalls such as overfitting. In this paper, an new approach is explored, inspired by the role played in biology by Neural Microcircuits, the so called ``fundamental processing elements'' of organic nervous systems. How large neural networks, particularly Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) can be assembled using Artificial Neural Microcircuits (ANMs), intended as off-the-shelf components, is articulated; the results of initial work to produce a catalogue of such Microcircuits though the use of Novelty Search is shown; followed by efforts to expand upon this initial work, including a discussion of challenges uncovered during these efforts and explorations of methods by which they might be overcome., Comment: 12 pages, 31 figures, 3 tables, submitted to A-Life Journal for review

Abstract

The practical applications based on recurrent spiking neurons are limited due to their non-trivial learning algorithms. The temporal nature of spiking neurons is more favorable for hardware implementation where signals can be represented in binary form and communication can be done through the use of spikes. This work investigates the potential of recurrent spiking neurons implementations on reconfigurable platforms and their applicability in temporal based applications. A theoretical framework of reservoir computing is investigated for hardware/software implementation. In this framework, only readout neurons are trained which overcomes the burden of training at the network level. These recurrent neural networks are termed as microcircuits which are viewed as basic computational units in cortical computation. This paper investigates the potential of recurrent neural reservoirs and presents a novel hardware/software strategy for their implementation on FPGAs. The design is implemented and the functionality is tested in the context of speech recognition application., Comment: 6 pages

Abstract

Industrial manufacturing systems and processes-related courses cover subject areas that are as diverse as electrical and product engineering and industrial automation. The proliferation of Web-based distance education courses in this area in recent years poses unique challenges for the teaching of a discipline that traditionally involves a high level of practical work. Increasingly, Web-based distance education courses are on offer, augmented by the provision of remote experimentation laboratories facilitating distant access to campus-based physical resources. The design and implementation of effective and usable remote experimentation facilities is a difficult task, given the inherent complexities of the learning environment and the constraints imposed by a Web-based delivery medium. Developments in recent years have addressed many of these issues as this constant innovation has necessitated educational institutions and other training providers to continually reassess the content and delivery of engineering curricula in the context of this developing field. However, autonomous learning environments, by their very nature, offer minimal educator assistance, and from a student's perspective, it is inevitable that, at some stage of the experimental process, context-specific help will be required. This paper seeks to address this issue in relation to the practical aspect of Web-based engineering-related courses and presents an intelligent help system to support students in the practical use of autonomous learning environments for remote experimentation. Index Terms--Autonomous learning environments, industrial manufacturing systems, remote experimentation.
