A self-organising neural network for modelling cortical development
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel self organising neural network It has been developed for use as a simpli ed model of cortical development Unlike many other models of topological map formation all synaptic weights start at zero strength so that synaptogenesis might be modelled In addition the algorithm works with the same format of encoding for both inputs to and outputs from the network so that the transfer and recoding of information between cortical regions might be modelled

Pre-synaptic Lateral Inhibition Provides a Better Architecture for Self-Organising Neural Networks
Unsupervised learning is an important property of the brain and of many artiicial neural networks. A large variety of unsupervised learning algorithms have been proposed. This paper takes a diierent approach in considering the architecture of the neural network rather than the learning algorithm. It is shown that a self-organising neural network architecture using pre-synaptic lateral inhibitio...
متن کاملSelf-Organising Mixture autoregressive Model for Non-Stationary Time Series Modelling
Modelling non-stationary time series has been a difficult task for both parametric and nonparametric methods. One promising solution is to combine the flexibility of nonparametric models with the simplicity of parametric models. In this paper, the self-organising mixture autoregressive (SOMAR) network is adopted as a such mixture model. It breaks time series into underlying segments and at the ...
متن کاملImproved Modelling of Wastewater Treatment Primary Clarifier Using Hybrid Anns
This paper presents the results of modelling to predict the effluent biological oxygen demand (BOD5) concentration for primary clarifiers using a hybridisation of unsupervised and supervised artificial neural networks. The hybrid model is based on the unsupervised self-organising map (SOM) whose features were then used to train a multi-layered perceptron, feedforward back propagation artificial...
متن کاملOn the equivalence between kernel self-organising maps and self-organising mixture density networks
The kernel method has become a useful trick and has been widely applied to various learning models to extend their nonlinear approximation and classification capabilities. Such extensions have also recently occurred to the Self-Organising Map (SOM). In this paper, two recently proposed kernel SOMs are reviewed, together with their link to an energy function. The Self-Organising Mixture Network ...
متن کاملUsing artificial neural networks for solving chemical problems Kohonen self-organising feature maps and Hopfield networks
This second part of a Tutorial on neural networks focuses on the Kohonen self-organising feature map and the Hopfield network. First a theoretical description of each type is given. The practical issues concerning applications of the networks are then discussed. For each network, a description is given of the types of problems which can be tackled by the specific neural network, followed by a p...
