Thirty Years of Machine Learning: The Road to Pareto-Optimal Wireless Networks
Future wireless networks have a substantial potential in terms of supporting
a broad range of complex compelling applications both in military and civilian
fields, where the users are able to enjoy high-rate, low-latency, low-cost and
reliable information services. Achieving this ambitious goal requires new radio
techniques for adaptive learning and intelligent decision making because of the
complex heterogeneous nature of the network structures and wireless services.
Machine learning (ML) algorithms have great success in supporting big data
analytics, efficient parameter estimation and interactive decision making.
Hence, in this article, we review the thirty-year history of ML by elaborating
on supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning and deep
learning. Furthermore, we investigate their employment in the compelling
applications of wireless networks, including heterogeneous networks (HetNets),
cognitive radios (CR), Internet of things (IoT), machine to machine networks
(M2M), and so on. This article aims for assisting the readers in clarifying the
motivation and methodology of the various ML algorithms, so as to invoke them
for hitherto unexplored services as well as scenarios of future wireless
networks.Comment: 46 pages, 22 fig
Platonic model of mind as an approximation to neurodynamics
Hierarchy of approximations involved in simplification of microscopic theories, from sub-cellural to the whole brain level, is presented. A new approximation to neural dynamics is described, leading to a Platonic-like model of mind based on psychological spaces. Objects and events in these spaces correspond to quasi-stable states of brain dynamics and may be interpreted from psychological point of view. Platonic model bridges the gap between neurosciences and psychological sciences. Static and dynamic versions of this model are outlined and Feature Space Mapping, a neurofuzzy realization of the static version of Platonic model, described. Categorization experiments with human subjects are analyzed from the neurodynamical and Platonic model points of view
A Developmental Neuro-Robotics Approach for Boosting the Recognition of Handwritten Digits
Developmental psychology and neuroimaging
research identified a close link between numbers and fingers,
which can boost the initial number knowledge in children. Recent
evidence shows that a simulation of the children's embodied
strategies can improve the machine intelligence too. This article
explores the application of embodied strategies to convolutional
neural network models in the context of developmental neurorobotics, where the training information is likely to be gradually
acquired while operating rather than being abundant and fully
available as the classical machine learning scenarios. The
experimental analyses show that the proprioceptive information
from the robot fingers can improve network accuracy in the
recognition of handwritten Arabic digits when training examples
and epochs are few. This result is comparable to brain imaging
and longitudinal studies with young children. In conclusion, these
findings also support the relevance of the embodiment in the case
of artificial agents’ training and show a possible way for the
humanization of the learning process, where the robotic body can
express the internal processes of artificial intelligence making it
more understandable for humans
