NASA JSC neural network survey results
A survey of Artificial Neural Systems in support of NASA's (Johnson Space Center) Automatic Perception for Mission Planning and Flight Control Research Program was conducted. Several of the world's leading researchers contributed papers containing their most recent results on artificial neural systems. These papers were broken into categories and descriptive accounts of the results make up a large part of this report. Also included is material on sources of information on artificial neural systems such as books, technical reports, software tools, etc
Neurocognitive Informatics Manifesto.
Informatics studies all aspects of the structure of natural and artificial information systems. Theoretical and abstract approaches to information have made great advances, but human information processing is still unmatched in many areas, including information management, representation and understanding. Neurocognitive informatics is a new, emerging field that should help to improve the matching of artificial and natural systems, and inspire better computational algorithms to solve problems that are still beyond the reach of machines. In this position paper examples of neurocognitive inspirations and promising directions in this area are given
Neural Distributed Autoassociative Memories: A Survey
Introduction. Neural network models of autoassociative, distributed memory
allow storage and retrieval of many items (vectors) where the number of stored
items can exceed the vector dimension (the number of neurons in the network).
This opens the possibility of a sublinear time search (in the number of stored
items) for approximate nearest neighbors among vectors of high dimension. The
purpose of this paper is to review models of autoassociative, distributed
memory that can be naturally implemented by neural networks (mainly with local
learning rules and iterative dynamics based on information locally available to
neurons). Scope. The survey is focused mainly on the networks of Hopfield,
Willshaw and Potts, that have connections between pairs of neurons and operate
on sparse binary vectors. We discuss not only autoassociative memory, but also
the generalization properties of these networks. We also consider neural
networks with higher-order connections and networks with a bipartite graph
structure for non-binary data with linear constraints. Conclusions. In
conclusion we discuss the relations to similarity search, advantages and
drawbacks of these techniques, and topics for further research. An interesting
and still not completely resolved question is whether neural autoassociative
memories can search for approximate nearest neighbors faster than other index
structures for similarity search, in particular for the case of very high
dimensional vectors.Comment: 31 page
