A generic neural simulator, called MacNeuron, is implemented using an object-oriented programming approach to simulate the electrophysiological properties of neurons and interconnected neuronal networks. The neuronal model is based on the compartmental model where electrical properties of a subpart of neuron are compartmentalized and then 'link' together to reconstitute the whole neuron. Similarly, the properties of a neuralnetwork are reconstructed by connecting the neurons together to form a network. The neural simulator is designed with a generalizable philosophy in mind that will enable users to make additions and modifications to the existing neurophysiological models. Object-oriented approach is used extensively to encapsulate the similarities and differences between different neurons and their components by various objects. The object-oriented paradigm is used not only in constructing the neuronal anatomical hierarchy but also in computing the mathematical equations governing the electrical properties of the neurons. Thus, a truly generic and generalizable model for simulating neuronal properties can be conceived.

neuralnetwork (NN) system which achieve maturity with relatively little training make good candidates for hybridizing with other forms of computing. Several terms may be used to describe the kind of learning to which we refer: one-time;exposure learning, which occurs in several prominent models;imprinting;or, with discernment, ascertainment learning, in which a certain but by no means significant amount of experience is required to capture knowledge. One reason such systems are good candidates for hybrids is that needs to transfer information among portions of the system, e.g., from a NN to an expert system or vice versa, can be accepted even if they are frequent. Other reasons include such systems' relative ease in management so that maintaining several of them simultaneously is not burdensome. This is particularly nice if the systems are distributed over a network of processors. This paper extends approaches taken earlier with hybrids, two cases of which we review briefly: 1) employing an expert system in conjunction with a competitive NN model and illustrating a form of cooperative behavior between a neuralnetwork and a symbolic conventional system;2) giving a Hopfield Net an added (conventional) numerical co-processor (filter) which helps govern input into the net. These systems reside under an umbrella of 'barrel' systems, also reported on earlier. Principal illustrations involve: 1) a combined BAM and Hamming Net system, which illustrates some advantages gained in a dual coding scheme;2) a stochastic form of Hamming Net;3) a BAM System's matrix allocations subjected to filter actions operating on memory matrices using a combination of intuitive and 'numerical recipe' computations.

"Active contour model-Snake" firstly suggested by Kass et al. (1988), is a boundary detection scheme, which is known to be very effective for detecting boundary problematic to existing classical schemes. However, the requirement of heavy computation limited its practical application. neuralnetwork, having a massively parallel architecture and being capable of processing huge amount of information in parallel manner, provides an alternative platform for real-time processing. In this paper, the "Snake" formulation is first mapped to a generalized higher-order Hopfield network and finally a tunneling network, an alternative neuralnetwork suggested by Cheung and Lee (1992), is adopted for the "Snake" boundary detection scheme. Simulation performed manifests its feasibility and it's found that the solution obtained is better than some existing "Snake" implementation.

The authors propose a time-frequency segmental neuralnetwork (TFSNN) which classifies phonemes according to the two-dimensional time frequency distribution of the whole phonetic segment. It uses a network architecture similar to those used for optical character recognition (OCR) to provide local shift invariance along both the time and the frequency axis. The TFSNN can be used in place of a segmental neuralnetwork (SNN) in a hybrid hidden Markov model (HMM) artificial neuralnetwork (ANN) system for automatic speech recognition as it shows significantly better performance than the SNN. The training times for the TFSNN is also smaller as it employs very few connection weights compared with the SNN.< >

In this paper, an efficient and practical method for solving a maintenance scheduling problem based on a neuro-computing approach is proposed. The objective of this problem is to equalize the capacity reserve over planing periods. The dynamical canonical network for nonlinear programming, into which is incorporated an improved Hopfield neuralnetwork for linear programming by Kennedy and Chua (1988), is modified to apply the neuralnetwork to 0-1 integer programming. To apply this approach to practical systems, a saving of computation burden has been attempted by decomposing it into a number of subproblems (that is, the maintenance period over one year is decomposed into several sub-periods) and applying a neuralnetwork to the respective subproblems. By introducing the decomposition technique and partial modification procedure, efficient and flexible maintenance scheduling of generating units has been obtained. The proposed approach based on the extended Hopfield neuralnetwork was applied to two kinds of power system models; medium-scale (15 generators and 24 periods) and practical-scale (60 generators and 52 periods). From the results of simulation, the effectiveness of the present approach has been verified as a fast-approximation solution method for the maintenance scheduling in medium or large scale power systems.< >

The PAPRICA project started in 1988 as an experimental VLSI architecture devoted to the efficient computation of data with two-dimensional structure. The main goal of the project is to develop a subsystem that could operate as an attached processing unit to a standard workstation and in perspective as a specialized processing module in dedicated systems devoted to low level image analysis, cellular neuralnetworks emulation, DRC algorithms. The architecture has been extensively used for basic low level image analysis tasks up to optical flow computation and feature tracking, showing encouraging performance even in the first prototype version. The authors discuss the actual implementation and present a critical analysis of the project, allowing to identify some crucial points of PAPRICA design (and of array processors in general) that must be carefully considered in the case of redesign.< >

Image algebra as a mathematical structure provides a much broader framework of neuralcomputing. The matrix product in the basic equations of the current linear-based neuralnetworks are furnished by the generalized matrix product obtaining new computational models as morphological neuralnetworks (MNN). In this paper we propose a theoretic approach on the invariant perception. We also show that image algebra can be used not only in the field of image processing but in other areas related to artificial perception systems. Our study is based on both a general theory of neuralnetwork and the invariant perception by the cortex theory. The neural structures that we propose uphold both the architecture and functionality of the cortex. We present a neuralnetwork model for computing auditory homothetic invariances in accordance with a general framework in image algebra. The neuronal synthesis of this model is obtain using MNN theory with the binary operations the maximum and the multiplication in the neuralnetwork formulation. We also propose a second model which is achieved introducing a simple logarithmic transformation in the current model. In addition we propose an alternative MNN for computing homothetic invariances which arise from how the problems are formulated in the systems of artificial vision. This last neuralnetwork is appropriate to compute visual invariances when we process patterns defined in two dimension spaces.

With the capabilities of parallel computation, distributed processing, and fault tolerance neuralnetworks are employed widely in a number of research fields. Among the models of neuralnetworks the single-layer perceptron and the multi-layer perceptron are the most popular ones used in supervised learning problems. However, there exists the redundant nodes that are insignificant for classification no matter which one of the two networks is trained to be a classifier. Although a net of a larger size usually has a faster learning rate, it results in an increase of forward computation complexity in either pattern recognizing or system relearning. In this paper, a new sequential classification model based on neuralnetwork is proposed. The model which combines the advantages of neuralnetworks with the properties of the sequential classification is shown to have an encouraging performance for net pruning and feature reduction. In the experiments, two-class and m-class (m > 2) problems are implemented to prove the practicability of the new technique with a balance between the accuracy of pattern classification and the size of networks. In the conclusion, an overall discussion of the proposed model and technical comparisons with previous related research issues on net pruning are given.
