Title: Neural computing architectures: The design of brain-like machines

Book ·
OSTI ID:6445974

Theoretical and applications aspects of neural-network (NN) computers are discussed in chapters contributed by European experts. Topics addressed include speech recognition based on topology-preserving neural maps, neural-map applications, backpropagation in nonfeedforward NNs, a parallel-distributed-processing learning approach to natural language, the learning capabilities of Boolean NNs, the logic of connectionist systems, and a probabilistic-logic NN for associative learning. Consideration is given to N-tuple sampling and genetic algorithms for speech recognition; the dynamic behavior of Boolean NNs; statistical mechanics and NNs; digital NNs, matched filters, and optical implementations; heteroassociative NNs using cabling vs link-disabling local modification rules; and the generation of movement trajectories in primates and robots. Also provided is an overview of parallel distributed processing.
