Analyzing Evolved Fault-Tolerant Neurocontrollers
نویسنده
چکیده
Evolutionary autonomous agents whose behavior is determined by a neurocontroller “brain” are a promising model for studying neural processing. Nevertheless, they are missing an important quality prevalently found in all levels of natural systems, fault-tolerance, the lack of which results in overly simplistic neurocontrollers. We present a way of modifying a given evolutionary process for encouraging the creation of neurocontrollers that manifest high levels of fault-tolerance, using both direct and incremental evolutions. The evolved neurocontrollers are more robust not only against the faults introduced during the evolutionary process, but also against much more extreme ones. This robustness poses a great challenge for an analysis of the workings of the neurocontrollers, the latter being the focus of this paper: We utilize the Multi-perturbation Shapley value Analysis (MSA) to uncover the important neurons, as well as the interactions between them, revealing the mechanisms underlying the evolved faulttolerance.

The presented evolutionary algorithm is especially designed to generate recurrent neural networks with non-trivial internal dynamics. It is not based on genetic algorithms, and sets no constraints on the number of neu-rons and the architecture of a network. Network topology and parameters like synaptic weights and bias terms are developed simultaneously. It is well suited for generating neuromo...

This work proposes a genetic algorithm based technique to learn the structural description of the circuit under study, in order to give it an on line fault tolerant cover. As the circuit operates, its input / output sequences are used to learn the structural configuration of the hardware. Once the structure is evolved, the algorithm redistributes the available redundancy and generates multiple ...

The paper describes an investigation of fault tolerant control strategies for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) driven by a fault-tolerant inverter. The inverter is a topology-modified inverter with fault-tolerant capability, which can be configured as the standard 3-phase 6-switch inverter and reconfigured as 3-phase 4-switch or 2-phase 4switch inverter under the fault condition. By an...

The paper presents various evolved neurocontrollers for the pole-balancing problem with good benchmark performance. They are small neural networks with recurrent connectivity. The applied evolutionary algorithm, which is not based on genetic algorithms, was designed to evolve neural networks with arbitrary connectivity. It uses no quantization of inputs, outputs or internal parameters, and sets...
