A Survey of Adaptive Resonance Theory Neural Network Models for Engineering Applications
This survey samples from the ever-growing family of adaptive resonance theory
(ART) neural network models used to perform the three primary machine learning
modalities, namely, unsupervised, supervised and reinforcement learning. It
comprises a representative list from classic to modern ART models, thereby
painting a general picture of the architectures developed by researchers over
the past 30 years. The learning dynamics of these ART models are briefly
described, and their distinctive characteristics such as code representation,
long-term memory and corresponding geometric interpretation are discussed.
Useful engineering properties of ART (speed, configurability, explainability,
parallelization and hardware implementation) are examined along with current
challenges. Finally, a compilation of online software libraries is provided. It
is expected that this overview will be helpful to new and seasoned ART
researchers
Investigation of sequence processing: A cognitive and computational neuroscience perspective
Serial order processing or sequence processing underlies
many human activities such as speech, language, skill
learning, planning, problem-solving, etc. Investigating
the neural bases of sequence processing enables us to
understand serial order in cognition and also helps in
building intelligent devices. In this article, we review
various cognitive issues related to sequence processing
with examples. Experimental results that give evidence
for the involvement of various brain areas will be described.
Finally, a theoretical approach based on statistical
models and reinforcement learning paradigm is
presented. These theoretical ideas are useful for studying
sequence learning in a principled way. This article
also suggests a two-way process diagram integrating
experimentation (cognitive neuroscience) and theory/
computational modelling (computational neuroscience).
This integrated framework is useful not only in the present
study of serial order, but also for understanding
many cognitive processes
