On neural networks in identification and control of dynamic systems
This paper presents a discussion of the applicability of neural networks in the identification and control of dynamic systems. Emphasis is placed on the understanding of how the neural networks handle linear systems and how the new approach is related to conventional system identification and control methods. Extensions of the approach to nonlinear systems are then made. The paper explains the fundamental concepts of neural networks in their simplest terms. Among the topics discussed are feed forward and recurrent networks in relation to the standard state-space and observer models, linear and nonlinear auto-regressive models, linear, predictors, one-step ahead control, and model reference adaptive control for linear and nonlinear systems. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the application of these important concepts
Incremental construction of LSTM recurrent neural network
Long Short--Term Memory (LSTM) is a recurrent neural network that
uses structures called memory blocks to allow the net remember
significant events distant in the past input sequence in order to
solve long time lag tasks, where other RNN approaches fail.
Throughout this work we have performed experiments using LSTM
networks extended with growing abilities, which we call GLSTM.
Four methods of training growing LSTM has been compared. These
methods include cascade and fully connected hidden layers as well
as two different levels of freezing previous weights in the
cascade case. GLSTM has been applied to a forecasting problem in a biomedical domain, where the input/output behavior of five
controllers of the Central Nervous System control has to be
modelled. We have compared growing LSTM results against other
neural networks approaches, and our work applying conventional
LSTM to the task at hand.Postprint (published version
A feedback model of perceptual learning and categorisation
Top-down, feedback, influences are known to have significant effects on visual information processing. Such influences are also likely to affect perceptual learning. This article employs a computational model of the cortical region interactions underlying visual perception to investigate possible influences of top-down information on learning. The results suggest that feedback could bias the way in which perceptual stimuli are categorised and could also facilitate the learning of sub-ordinate level representations suitable for object identification and perceptual expertise
