lets deal with neural networks

hey friends,
i never noticed a thread about neural networks in this CE from my existence so i am taking initiation as it is a very useful and research topic
ofcourse i am interested because it is included in my syllabus
now i am stating with a small question
what is neural network and what all CEan's are thinking about brain??
i am giving a time of 20hours for all the interested ceans to answer later i will give the answer

    I think we can all learn a lot from this thread.
    Where to start?

    Neural networks are computational models inspired by the real neurons.
    There are over 100 billion neurons in our brain.Ofcourse everyone must have heard about neurons but have you ever thought of what makes them different from other cells??Why are they so important?(I know some of you may know the answer but still).
    There are two things that make them different:-
    Firstly their special structure i.e that is apart from normal cell components they have these dendrites(number of arms you can say ).
    Secondly they are electrically active.
    Neurons have resting as well as active states.They connect to other neurons via joints called Synapse.It is like a neuron with its dendrites connected to dendrites of other neurons at synapses.
    This was all biology stuff.So coming to how we can model it,its like simply capturing the behaviour of a neuron into mathematical model.
    This mathematical model is called McCulloch-Pitts Model.Its is like a circle representing a neuron with inputs x1,x2,..xi,..,xn which are the information coming from different dendrites of the neuron and an output y which is a function of inputs with their weights(w).So the equation is somewhat like this:-
    y=g((summation of wi*xi)-b )
    Neural netwotk(NN) is a parametric model that can model arbitrary i/o relationships.It can learn i/o relationships from sample data.
    Applications of NN in which i was interested was Optical character recognition(OCR) which is basically a DSP application.There are many more applications like in VLSI,contol &instrumentation,etc.
    There are varieties of NN:-
    Multilayer Perceptions/Backpropagation networks,
    Radial Basis Function Networks (I know only this one because it was involved in OCR),
    Hopfield network,Recurrent networks,Modular networks etc.

    Guys this is what i know about neural networks.I didnt particularly study this as a subject but i have used it in studyin or doing some OCR techniques.Any mistakes please do correct me.

    @Adivy: That was enlightening! 😀
    What are the other major applications of neural networks?
  • Adivy
    Adivy
    @Abrakadabra:😀 Like I said it was a very little part of what I studied in DSP Application,so I just shared what I knew.I dont have deep knowledge on the topic.And about the application there are many like:-
    Pattern recognition or identifying patterns or trends in data(One of the main apps),
    Robotics,detection and tracking of moving items ,motion detection ,etc
    Its widely used in Artificial intelligence.
    What is interesting is their ability to learn by example unlike conventional computers which are algorithmic.
    So we can say NN=Learning by example😀Like how we grow up taking others as example.

    @adivy: impressive this is what i love to say next another model is introduced called perceptron model which brought a great revolution in neural networks this was given as like after perceptron and before perceptron

    Adivy: That is good. But I read a while ago about how our eyes scan a particular object. Does neural network concerns that too? I mean we have scanners at many places. 😀
  • narayana murthy

    @ishu: hahaha silly question as our brain is made of completely with neurons how can can eyes scan without presence of neuron
    our retina takes the image in reverse like it look like in down to up and it goes to brain in exact way by the neuron networks
    for this you can refer books about brain

    i am free now so i am posting something about this topic
    actually this was started in around 1943 as our cean said it was mp model later some days perceptron model was introduced to overcome drawbacks of mp model and it is an revolutionary model
    so our artificial networks was made into 2 phases like before perceptron and after perceptron
    but it got a drawback of complexity for higher applications
    later Minsky and Papert was announced that this perceptron model is not applicable for complex applications this made the research on neural network stopped for about 20 years
    and now a days we are using some neural network by upgrading perceptron model
    here i have seeded some information and here some images about neurons and information transfers

    i have more information about brain but this is not fair to post that stuff in this thread because i am started this only to discuss about artificial intelligence and neuron artificial models
    so make it more informative regarding it and let discuss about them and if any one needed really wanted to know about please send me vm i will start a thread about brain
  • Adivy
    Adivy
    @Narayana Murthy thankyou 😀I didnt know about after perceptron and before perceptron thing .That was a new information.Can you listout some of the drawbacks of mp model and how those are overcome in the Perceptron model?

    PS:Can anyone help me out regarding adding images or drawings in a post??
  • narayana murthy

    as per my knowledge mp model is totally based on neural logic of the brain see if it is a simple app we can successfully use it but if it is a large app then the number of neurons are increasing so complexity increases
    so rosenblast created a theory called perceptron theory it is done by using a logic of threshold logic like
    X1--w1-------------------------------->
    T----->Y=output​
    X2--w2-------------------------------->
    here the condition is if X1*w1+X2*w2 if X1*w1+X2*w2>=T then o/p will be 1
    by using this we design weights as X1 and X2 are inputs T is threshold
    then many learning rules and models have been existed but perceptron is remained as same so neural network research was made into 2 phases
  • Adivy

    Here I have a simple question:-
    How are these neuron models and artificial intelligence related?could anyone explain with examples?
  • narayana murthy
    narayana murthy
    @adivy: according to me all the artificial intelligence is done on basis of neuron logic
    see the main drawback of our machines is it can't take decisions so we are designing some machines which can think actually this was started by the scientists in mp model as we discussed in above
    our neuron functions have some logic's see our brain acts according to its training if we design a circuit which can be trained so they can also take decisions so threshold logic is designed by rosenblast in perceptron model
    this makes the sense of artificial intelligence

    hey friends i am interested to add a point in this thread
    this is about types of perceptron depends on this operation
    they are
    1.discreate perceptron
    2.continous perceptron
    3.multi category perceptron
    lets see with discreate perceptron
    discreate perceptron operates in bipolar binary or unipolar binary i.e.., unipolar means 0's and 1's for bipolar -1 and +1
    we change the weights depending on the o/p obtained
    let me explain in detail
    as i said in another post weights and inputs gives o/p if it is supervised learning we change weights depending on error obtained as we assume 'd' as actual o/p and o as obtained o/p then error is d-o
    as depending on various learning rules we change weights
    next we are going to continous perceptron
    in the continous perceptron we are having the continous function as a threshold function
    that will be only difference
    next the multi category perceptron is having both the functions

    @NM:
    this is about types of perceptron depends on this operation
    We were talking about the models right?Do you mean types of Perceptron models?and What is this operation I didnt understand?
    About Discreate perceptron,are the weights which take different values according to the type I mean bipolar or unipolar ?Is it like their values are assigned either 0,-1 and 1 depending upon the rules?

    sorry for confusing you
    i mean to say is it works on binary networks i.e..., the threshold unit will be binary function in this model

    We had a separate subject on this topic in last sem , it was quite interesting to learn it

    The concept of neural network is far above than artificial intelligence , these are commonly used for weather forecasting, sales forecasting etc

    hey friends i am back with more information soon associative memories will be posted if i get some time
  • narayana murthy
    narayana murthy
    k friends i think i got enough time
    here is it before going to ann memories i want to differenciate ann's and computer memories
    our computers has a limited space of memory but a human memory is unlimited storage of memory
    if we able to make perfect ann then that will be of high amount of storage
    and coming to processing a computer can make a serial computation but a brain and ann's can make a parallel computation by remembering them so we can make process much faster so we can use them much in pattern recognition
    while coming to ann memories there are 2 types of memories
    auto associative and hetro associative
    the recognition of auto associative is good because if a signal is coming with noice
    this memory can check it and give relavent one
    but hetro gives completely different one
    on this there is another given hop it is known as hop field associative memory
    more information will be given soon

    --
    thnks in advnc
    actually fuzzy set is a set which has the membership values for a set
    the main diff can be explained with an example
    see these sets
    A={(1,2,3,4)}
    A1={(1,.2),.......,(4,.9)}
    the first set A is called as a crisp set and A1 is a fuzzy set
    where 2nd element is known as membership values of the 1st element in the set
    coming to logic
    fuzzy logic is the logic which is designed with members in the relations or the properties of a object which is unknown
    there is nothing comparing with nn and fuzzy logic
    nn is a network connecting and training for a specified function
    fuzzy logic is a logic for a given network to design the possibilities of occur like load forecasting
    hope i am clear

    I said it was a real younger thing of what I unnatural in DSP Usage,so I meet common what I knew.I dont hit bottomless knowledge on the issue.And nigh the use there are numerous equivalent:-
    Ornamentation recognition or identifying patterns or trends in data(One of the important apps),
    Robotics,espial and pursuit of kinetic items ,happening perception ,etc
