Artificial bee colony (ABC) is an optimization algorithm inspired on the intelligent behavior of honey bee swarms. It is suitable to be applied when mathematical techniques are impractical or provide suboptimal solutions. As a population-based algorithm, the ABC suffers on large execution times specifically for embedded optimization problems with computational limitations. For that we propose a hardware parallel architecture of the opposition-based ABC algorithm (HPOABC) that facilitates the implementation in Field programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Numerical simulations using four well-known benchmark problems demonstrate that the opposition-based approach allows the algorithm to improve its functionality, preserving the swarm diversity. Additionally, synthesis results point outs that the HPOABC architecture is effectively mapped in hardware and is suitable for embedded applications.
The proposed approach is based on the classical model of *** its and tries to concurrently learn two tightly coupled issues. As the main goal it learns the optimal classification and at the same time, it learns the be...

Finite Automata (FA) is a base net for many sophisticated probability-based systems of artificial intelligence. However, an FA processes symbols, instead of images that the brain senses and produces (e.g., sensory images and motor images). Of course, many recurrent artificial neural networks process images. However, their non-calibrated internal states prevent generalization, let alone the feasibility of immediate and error-free learning. I wish to report a general-purpose Developmental program (DP) for a new type of, brain-anatomy inspired, networks - Developmental Networks (DNs). The new theoretical results here are summarized by three theorems. (1) From any complex FA that demonstrates human knowledge through its sequence of the symbolic inputs-outputs, the DP incrementally develops a corresponding DN through the image codes of the symbolic inputs-outputs of the FA. The DN learning from the FA is incremental, immediate and error-free. (2) After learning the FA, if the DN freezes its learning but runs, it generalizes optimally for infinitely many image inputs and actions based on the embedded inner-product distance, state equivalence, and the principle of maximum likelihood. (3) After learning the FA, if the DN continues to learn and run, it “thinks” optimally in the sense of maximum likelihood based on its past experience.

Microstructural and electrical properties of Gd-doped CeO2 (GDC; Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95) thin films prepared by pulsed laser deposition as an electrolyte in solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) were investigated. The GDC thin films were prepared on various substrates including single-crystal yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and magnesium oxide (MgO) substrates. The GDC thin-film electrolytes with different grain sizes and grain morphologies were prepared by varying the deposition parameters, such as substrate temperature, oxygen partial pressure, target repetition rate, and laser ablation energy. The microstructural properties of these films were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Alternating-current (AC) and direct-current (DC) electrical measurements through in-plane method show that the electrical property of the GDC thin film strongly depends on grain size, e.g., the total conductivity of the films deposited at 700 C (7.3 103 S/cm) is about 20 times higher than the ones deposited at room temperature (3.6 104 S/cm) at the measurement temperature of 600 C.

It has been suggested that the human mirror neuron system can facilitate learning by imitation through coupling of observation and action execution. During imitation of observed actions, the functional relationship between and within the inferior frontal cortex, the posterior parietal cortex, and the superior temporal sulcus can be modeled within the internal model framework. The proposed biologically plausible mirror neuron system model extends currently available models by explicitly modeling the intraparietal sulcus and the superior parietal lobule in implementing the function of a frame of reference transformation during imitation. Moreover, the model posits the ventral premotor cortex as performing an inverse computation. The simulations reveal that: i) the transformation system can learn and represent the changes in extrinsic to intrinsic coordinates when an imitator observes a demonstrator;ii) the inverse model of the imitator's frontal mirror neuron system can be trained to provide the motor plans for the imitated actions.
The selection of image fusion techniques has always been a compromise between effectiveness and efficiency. In this paper, foveation (using log-polar transformation) is introduced to satisfy the real-time requirement ...
