Abstract:

Robots carrying tasks in an unknown environment often need to build a map in order to be able to navigate. One approach is to create a detailed map of the environment containing the position of obstacles. But this option can use a large amount of memory, especially if the environment is large. Another approach, closer to how people build a mental map, is the topological map. A topological map contains only places that are easy to recognize (landmarks) and links them together.<br>In this thesis, we explore the issue of creating a topological map from range data.

Abstract:

Big data has become a rapidly growing field amongst firms in the financial sector and thus many companies and researchers have begun implementing machine learning methods to sift through large portions of data. From this data, investment management firms have attempted to automate investment strategies, some successful and some unsuccessful. This paper will investigate an investment strategy by using a deep neural network to see whether the stocks picked from the network will out or underperform the Russell 2000.

SpiNNaker's hexagonal torus network topology has received mostly theoretical treatment in the literature. This thesis tackles some of the challenges encountered when building `real-world' systems.

The essence of stochastic filtering is to compute the time-varying probability densityfunction (pdf) for the measurements of the observed system. In this thesis, a filter isdesigned based on the principles of quantum mechanics where the schrodinger waveequation (SWE) plays the key part. This equation is transformed to fit into the neuralnetwork architecture. Each neuron in the network mediates a spatio-temporal field witha unified quantum activation function that aggregates the pdf information of theobserved signals. The activation function is the result of the solution of the SWE. Theincorpor

Abstract:

It is well known that the human brain is highly modular, having a structural and functional organization that allows the different regions of the brain to be reused for different cognitive processes. So far, this has not been fully addressed by artificial systems, and a better understanding of when and how modules emerge is required, with a broad framework indicating how modules could be reused within neural networks. This thesis provides a deep investigation of module formation, module communication (interaction) and module reuse during evolution for a variety of classification and prediction

Abstract:

The basis of this thesis is the presumption that while neural networks are useful structures that can be used to model complex, highly non-linear systems, current methods of training the neural networks are inadequate in some problem domains. Genetic algorithms have been used to optimise both the weights and architectures of neural networks, but these approaches do not treat the neural network in a sensible manner. In this thesis, I define the basis of computation within a neural network as a single neuron and its associated input connections. Sets of these neurons, stored in a matrix

Abstract:

Neural networks need to be able to guarantee their intrinsic generalisation abilities if they are to be used reliably. Mitchell's concept and version spaces technique is able to guarantee generalisation in the symbolic concept-learning environment in which it is implemented. Generalisation, according to Mitchell, is guaranteed when there is no alternative concept that is consistent with all the examples presented so far, except the current concept, given the bias of the user. A form of bidirectional convergence is used by Mitchell to recognise when the no-alternative situation has been reached

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of the generation of topographic mappings - dimension reducing transformations of data that preserve some element of geometric structure - with feed-forward neural networks. As an alternative to established methods, a transformational variant of Sammon's method is proposed, where the projection is effected by a radial basis function neural network. This approach is related to the statistical field of multidimensional scaling, and from that the concept of a 'subjective metric' is defined, which permits the exploitation of additional prior knowledge concerning the data in

The conventional multilayer feedforward network having continuous-weights is expensive to implement in digital hardware. Two new types of networks are proposed which lend themselves to cost-effective implementations in hardware and have a fast forward-pass capability. These two differ from the conventional model in having extra constraints on their weights: the first allows its weights to take integer values in the range [-3,3] only, whereas the second restricts its synapses to the set {-1,0,1} while allowing unrestricted offsets. The benefits of the first configuration are in having weights w

This thesis explores the relationship between two classification models: decision trees and multilayer perceptrons. Decision trees carve up databases into box-shaped regions, and make predictions based on the majority class in each box. They are quick to build and relatively easy to interpret. Multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) are often more accurate than decision trees, because they are able to use soft, curved, arbitrarily oriented decision boundaries. Unfortunately MLPs typically require a great deal of effort to determine a good number and arrangement of neural units, and then require many p
