6. Renaissance of connectionism from the papers by Hopfield, and popularizing the back-propagation algorithm for multiplayer feed- forward networks McCulloch and Pitts introduced the fundamental ideas of analyzing neural activity via thresholds and weighted sums Notion of Wiener about key role of connectionism and feedback loops as a model for learning in neural networks Hebb hypothesis that human and animal long-term memory is mediated by permanent alterations in the synapses. Minsky’s builts the first actual neural network learning system Frank Rosenblatt invented the modern “perceptron” style of NN, composed of trainable threshold units Ashby puts the idea that intelligence could be created by the use of “homeostatic” devices which learn through a kind of exhaustive search 1982 1969 1949 1948 1943 End of Perceptron era: Work “Perceptron” by Minsky and Papert 1957 1952 1951 The History of Neuroscience 6

7. NN as an model of brain-like Computer  An artificial neural network (ANN) is a massively parallel distributed processor that has a natural propensity for storing experimental knowledge and making it available for use. It means that:  Knowledge is acquired by the network through a learning (training) process;  The strength of the interconnections between neurons is implemented by means of the synaptic weights used to store the knowledge. The learning process is a procedure of the adapting the weights with a learning algorithm in order to capture the knowledge. On more mathematically, the aim of the learning process is to map a given relation between inputs and output (outputs) of the network. Brain  The human brain is still not well understood and indeed its behavior is very complex!  There are about 10 billion neurons in the human cortex and 60 trillion synapses of connections  The brain is a highly complex, nonlinear and parallel computer (information-processing system) ANN as a Brain-Like Computer 7

15. Massive parallelism Brain computer as an information or signal processing system, is composed of a large number of a simple processing elements, called neurons. These neurons are interconnected by numerous direct links, which are called connection, and cooperate which other to perform a parallel distributed processing (PDP) in order to soft a desired computation tasks. Connectionism Brain computer is a highly interconnected neurons system in such a way that the state of one neuron affects the potential of the large number of other neurons which are connected according to weights or strength. The key idea of such principle is the functional capacity of biological neural nets determs mostly not so of a single neuron but of its connections Associative distributed memory Storage of information in a brain is supposed to be concentrated in synaptic connections of brain neural network, or more precisely, in the pattern of these connections and strengths (weights) of the synaptic connections. A process of pattern recognition and pattern manipulation is based on: How our brain manipulates with patterns ? Principles of Brain Processing 15

16. ? Brain-Like Computer Brain-like computer – is a mathematical model of humane-brain principles of computations. This computer consists of those elements which can be called the biological neuron prototypes, which are interconnected by direct links called connections and which cooperate to perform parallel distributed processing (PDP) in order to solve a desired computational task. Neurons and Neural Net The new paradigm of computing mathematics consists of the combination of such artificial neurons into some artificial neuron net.

17. Connectionizm NN is a highly interconnected structure in such a way that the state of one neuron affects the potential of the large number of another neurons to which it is connected accordiny to weights of connections Not Programming but Training NN is trained rather than programmed to perform the given task since it is difficult to separate the hardware and software in the structure. We program not solution of tasks but ability of learning to solve the tasks Distributed Memory NN presents an distributed memory so that changing-adaptation of synapse can take place everywhere in the structure of the network. Principles of Neurocomputing 17

18. Learning and Adaptation NN are capable to adapt themselves (the synapses connections between units) to special environmental conditions by changing their structure or strengths connections. Non-Linear Functionality Every new states of a neuron is a nonlinear function of the input pattern created by the firing nonlinear activity of the other neurons. Robustness of Assosiativity NN states are characterized by high robustness or insensitivity to noisy and fuzzy of input data owing to use of a highly redundance distributed structure Principles of Neurocomputing 18
