چکیده

This article introduces a parallel neural network approach implemented over Graphic Processing Units (GPU) to solve a facial recognition problem, which consists in deciding where the face of a person in a certain image is pointing. The proposed method uses the parallel capabilities of GPU in order to train and evaluate a neural network used to solve the abovementioned problem. The experimental evaluation demonstrates that a significant reduction on computing times can be obtained allowing solving large instances in reasonable time. Speedup greater than 8 is achieved when contrasted with a sequential implementation and classification rate superior to 85 % is also obtained.

Exploring Multi-level Parallelism for Large-Scale Spiking Neural Networks

Several biologically inspired applications have been motivated by Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) such as the Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) and Izhikevich models, owing to their high biological accuracy. The inherent massively parallel nature of the SNN simulations makes them a good fit for heterogeneous computing resources such as the General Purpose Graphical Processing Unit (GPGPU) clusters. In this re...

Introducing a method for extracting features from facial images based on applying transformations to features obtained from convolutional neural networks

In pattern recognition, features are denoting some measurable characteristics of an observed phenomenon and feature extraction is the procedure of measuring these characteristics. A set of features can be expressed by a feature vector which is used as the input data of a system. An efficient feature extraction method can improve the performance of a machine learning system such as face recognit...
