Abstract:
The reservoir computer comprises a reservoir of possibly non-linear, possibly chaotic dynamics. By perturbing and taking outputs from this reservoir, its dynamics may be harnessed to compute complex problems at “the edge of chaos”. One of the first forms of reservoir computer, the Echo State Network (ESN), is a form of artificial neural network that builds its reservoir from a large and sparsely connected recurrent neural network (RNN). The ESN was initially introduced as an innovative solution to train RNNs which, up until that point, was a notoriously difficult task. The innovation of the ES

Abstract:
<p> In this thesis we explore the problem of inference for Bayesian model averaging. Many popular topics in Bayesian analysis, such as Bayesian nonparametrics, can be cast as model averaging problems. Model averaging problems offer unique difficulties for inference, as the parameter space is not fixed, and may be infinite. As such, there is little existing work on general purpose MCMC algorithms in this area. We introduce a new MCMC sampler, which we call Retrospective Jump sampling, that is suitable for general purpose model averaging. In the development of Retrospective Jump, some practical

In this thesis, we propose a new systolic architecture which is based on the Faddeev's algorithm. Because Faddeev's algorithm is inherently general purpose, our architecture is able to perform a wide class of matrix computations. And since the architecture is systolic based, it brings massive parallelism to all of its computations. As a result, many matrix operations including addition, multiplication, inversion, LU-decomposition, transpose, and solutions to linear systems of equations can now be performed extremely fast. In addition, our design introduces several concepts which are new to sys

None have been designed to be familiar to 3D animators.

Syntactic parsing is one of the best understood language processing applications. Since language and grammar have been formally defined, it is easy for computers to parse the syntactic structure of natural language text. Does meaning have structure as well? If it has, how can we analyze the structure? Previous systems rely on a one-to-one correspondence between syntactic rules and semantic rules. But such systems can only be applied to limited fragments of English.
