We have developed a distributed multi-module system for realtime tracking of objects, and online training of neural network classifiers. The aim of the project was to build a system able to locate objects and to follow them and learn to recognise them with minimal supervision. The problem domain chosen was the tracking and recognition of three species of tropical fish swimming in an aquarium.

The effects of splitting a single annealing run into several parallel shorter annealing runs is detailed for one specific application of combinatorial optimisation by simulated annealing. This form of parallelisation of the algorithm is extremely easy to implement since it requires no communication between the processors. It is shown that, for a considerable range of parallelisation, the probability of finding the global minimum is largely unchanged.

Multi Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) are typified by neuronal processes, requiring small processing power, connected to many other neuronal processes. Transputers are powerful processors but with only four links to connect to other transputers or associated hardware. Implementation of MLPs on transputers requires the allocation of neuronal processes to transputers and connection of transputers that will minimise traffic of signal through the transputer network. Stochastic optimisation, and in particular simulated annealing, has been found to produce minimal cost solutions to this problem. Furthermore the algorithms are themselves implementable on transputer networks.

A constructive algorithm is proposed for feed-forward neural networks, which uses node-splitting in the hidden layers to build large networks from smaller ones. The small network forms an approximate model of a set of training data, and the split creates a larger more powerful network which is initialised with the approximate solution already found. The insufficiency of the smaller network in modelling the system which generated the data leads to oscillation in those hidden nodes whose weight vectors cover regions in the input space where more detail is required in the model. These nodes are identified and split in two using principal component analysis, allowing the new nodes to cover the two main modes of each oscillating vector. Nodes are selected for splitting using principal component analysis on the oscillating weight vectors, or by examining the Hessian matrix of second derivatives of the network error with respect to the weights. The second derivative method can also be applied to the input layer, where it provides a useful indication of the relative importances of parameters for the classification task. Node splitting in a standard Multi Layer Perceptron is equivalent to introducing a hinge in the decision boundary to allow more detail to be learned. Initial results were promising, but further evaluation indicates that the long range effects of decision boundaries cause the new nodes to slip back to the old node position, and nothing is gained. This problem does not occur in networks of localised receptive fields such as radial basis functions or gaussian mixtures, where the technique appears to work well.

Arguments contending that it is necessary to use structured neural networks for the solution of certain problem types are presented. Structure is imposed on connectivity, activation functions, and other parameters of the network to simultaneously optimize generalization ability and compactness of the network. An analogy is made between the development of biological nervous systems from their genetic coding and the generation of artificial neural networks from a parametric description. Experiments which use genetic techniques to optimize network structure for a specific class of problem are described. Results which demonstrate the effectiveness of genetic optimization of network specifications in comparison with other optimization techniques are given. The parallel asynchronous implementation of genetic algorithms on a Sun-3 network is briefly described

Some experiments exploring the ability of networks to learn the underlying statistics of artificially generated temporal data are described. In one experiment, data generated by two simple Markov models were fed into a multilayer perceptron. The desired output was an indication of whether a transition out of one of the models had been made. The network produced a close approximation to the probability that a transition had just been made. In another experiment, hidden Markov models were used to generate the data. This made the determination of whether a transition had occurred much more difficult, and the network produced a much poorer approximation to the correct probability

Given a complex dynamic problem, one way to decompose the problem into subtasks is in terms of the behaviours needed to solve the problem. Such a behavioural decomposition is very natural, allowing the solution to be programmed on a distributed network of processors running in parallel. The subtasks are largely-but not wholly-independent, which reduces the amount of communication among them. An architecture, based on the subsumption architecture of R.A. Brooks (1986), is proposed to allow the implementation of such a decomposition. This architecture and a mobile robot, known as the Sprite, are simulated running in a 2-dimensional world. A controller for the Sprite is also simulated; it consists of four layers, and it allows the Sprite to avoid obstacles, to find and follow walls, and to make a simple map of what it encounters. It is believed that this architecture is also suitable for implementing large vision systems. In order to test this conjecture the architecture is being transferred onto a transputer network.< >

Automatic Speech recognition (ASR) is an artificial perception problem: the input is raw, continuous patterns (no symbols!) and the desired output, which may be words, phonemes, meaning or text, is symbolic. The most successful approach to automatic speech recognition is based on stochastic models. A stochastic model is a theoretical system whose internal state and output undergo a series of transformations governed by probabilistic laws [1]. In the application to speech recognition the unknown patterns of sound are treated as if they were outputs of a stochastic system [18,2]. Information about the classes of patterns is encoded as the structure of these "laws" and the probabilities that govern their operation. The most popular type of SM for ASR is also known as a "hidden Markov model."
