AbstractWe are entering an age of ‘big’ computational neuroscience, in which neural network models are increasing in size and in numbers of underlying data sets. Consolidating the zoo of models into large-scale models simultaneously consistent with a wide range of data is only possible through the effort of large teams, which can be spread across multiple research institutions. To ensure that computational neuroscientists can build on each other’s work, it is important to make models publicly available as well-documented code. This chapter describes such an open-source model, which relates the connectivity structure of all vision-related cortical areas of the macaque monkey with their resting-state dynamics. We give a brief overview of how to use the executable model specification, which employs NEST as simulation engine, and show its runtime scaling. The solutions found serve as an example for organizing the workflow of future models from the raw experimental data to the visualization of the results, expose the challenges, and give guidance for the construction of an ICT infrastructure for neuroscience.

Large Scale Data Sets

Artificial intelligence (ARTINT) and information have been famous fields for many years. A reason has been that many different areas have been promoted quickly based on the ARTINT and information, and they have created many significant values for many years. These crucial values have certainly been used more and more for many economies of the countries in the world, other sciences, companies, organizations, etc. Many massive corporations, big organizations, etc. have been established rapidly because these economies have been developed in the strongest way. Unsurprisingly, lots of information and large-scale data sets have been created clearly from these corporations, organizations, etc. This has been the major challenges for many commercial applications, studies, etc. to process and store them successfully. To handle this problem, many algorithms have been proposed for processing these big data sets.

Tensor flow is an interface for communicating AI calculations and a use for performing calculations like this. A calculation communicated using tensor flow can be done with virtually zero changes in a wide range of heterogeneous frameworks, ranging from cell phones, for example, telephones and tablets to massive scale-appropriate structures of many computers and a large number of computational gadgets, for example, GPU cards. The framework is adaptable and can be used to communicate a wide range of calculations, including the preparation and derivation of calculations for deep neural network models, and has been used to guide the analysis and send AI frameworks to more than twelve software engineering zones and different fields, including discourse recognition, sight of PCs, electronic technology, data recovery, everyday language handling, retrieval of spatial data, and discovery of device medication. This chapter demonstrates the tensor flow interface and the interface we worked with at Google.

In image/video analysis, crowds are actively researched, and their numbers are counted. In the last two decades, many crowd counting algorithms have been developed for a wide range of applications in crisis management systems, large-scale events, workplace safety, and other areas. The precision of neural network research for estimating points is outstanding in computer vision domain. However, the degree of uncertainty in the estimate is rarely indicated. Point estimate is beneficial for measuring uncertainty since it can improve the quality of decisions and predictions. The proposed framework integrates Light weight CNN (LW-CNN) for implementing crowd computing in any public place for delivering higher accuracy in counting. Further, the proposed framework has been trained through various scene analysis such as the full and partial vision of heads in counting. Based on the various scaling sets in the proposed neural network framework, it can easily categorize the partial vision of heads count and it is being counted accurately than other pre-trained neural network models. The proposed framework provides higher accuracy in estimating the headcounts in public places during COVID-19 by consuming less amount of time.

Max Pooling

Purpose The fabulous results of convolution neural networks in image-related tasks attracted attention of text mining, sentiment analysis and other text analysis researchers. It is, however, difficult to find enough data for feeding such networks, optimize their parameters, and make the right design choices when constructing network architectures. The purpose of this paper is to present the creation steps of two big data sets of song emotions. The authors also explore usage of convolution and max-pooling neural layers on song lyrics, product and movie review text data sets. Three variants of a simple and flexible neural network architecture are also compared. Design/methodology/approach The intention was to spot any important patterns that can serve as guidelines for parameter optimization of similar models. The authors also wanted to identify architecture design choices which lead to high performing sentiment analysis models. To this end, the authors conducted a series of experiments with neural architectures of various configurations. Findings The results indicate that parallel convolutions of filter lengths up to 3 are usually enough for capturing relevant text features. Also, max-pooling region size should be adapted to the length of text documents for producing the best feature maps. Originality/value Top results the authors got are obtained with feature maps of lengths 6–18. An improvement on future neural network models for sentiment analysis could be generating sentiment polarity prediction of documents using aggregation of predictions on smaller excerpt of the entire text.

Cladistic Analyses

In this thesis I attempt to gather together a wide range of cladistic analyses of fossil and extant taxa representing a diverse array of phylogenetic groups. I use this data to quantitatively compare the effect of fossil taxa relative to extant taxa in terms of support for relationships, number of most parsimonious trees (MPTs) and leaf stability. In line with previous studies I find that the effects of fossil taxa are seldom different to extant taxa – although I highlight some interesting exceptions. I also use this data to compare the phylogenetic signal within vertebrate morphological data sets, by choosing to compare cranial data to postcranial data. Comparisons between molecular data and morphological data have been previously well explored, as have signals between different molecular loci. But comparative signal within morphological data sets is much less commonly characterized and certainly not across a wide array of clades. With this analysis I show that there are many studies in which the evidence provided by cranial data appears to be be significantly incongruent with the postcranial data – more than one would expect to see just by the effect of chance and noise alone. I devise and implement a modification to a rarely used measure of homoplasy that will hopefully encourage its wider usage. Previously it had some undesirable bias associated with the distribution of missing data in a dataset, but my modification controls for this. I also take an in-depth and extensive review of the ILD test, noting it is often misused or reported poorly, even in recent studies. Finally, in attempting to collect data and metadata on a large scale, I uncovered inefficiencies in the research publication system that obstruct re-use of data and scientific progress. I highlight the importance of replication and reproducibility – even simple reanalysis of high profile papers can turn up some very different results. Data is highly valuable and thus it must be retained and made available for further re-use to maximize the overall return on research investment.

Underlying Processes

Abstract Background: Large-scale biological data sets are often contaminated by noise, which can impede accurate inferences about underlying processes. Such measurement noise can arise from endogenous biological factors like cell cycle and life history variation, and from exogenous technical factors like sample preparation and instrument variation.Results: We describe a general method for automatically reducing noise in large-scale biological data sets. This method uses an interaction network to identify groups of correlated or anti-correlated measurements that can be combined or “filtered” to better recover an underlying biological signal. Similar to the process of denoising an image, a single network filter may be applied to an entire system, or the system may be first decomposed into distinct modules and a different filter applied to each. Applied to synthetic data with known network structure and signal, network filters accurately reduce noise across a wide range of noise levels and structures. Applied to a machine learning task of predicting changes in human protein expression in healthy and cancerous tissues, network filtering prior to training increases accuracy up to 43% compared to using unfiltered data.Conclusions: Network filters are a general way to denoise biological data and can account for both correlation and anti-correlation between different measurements. Furthermore, we find that partitioning a network prior to filtering can significantly reduce errors in networks with heterogenous data and correlation patterns, and this approach outperforms existing diffusion based methods. Our results on proteomics data indicate the broad potential utility of network filters to applications in systems biology.

AbstractFirst-order tactile neurons have spatially complex receptive fields. Here we use machine learning tools to show that such complexity arises for a wide range of training sets and network architectures, and benefits network performance, especially on more difficult tasks and in the presence of noise. Our work suggests that spatially complex receptive fields are normatively good given the biological constraints of the tactile periphery.

Different Levels

Many social media news writers are not professionally trained. Therefore, social media platforms have to hire professional editors to adjust amateur headlines to attract more readers. We propose to automate this headline editing process through neural network models to provide more immediate writing support for these social media news writers. To train such a neural headline editing model, we collected a dataset which contains articles with original headlines and professionally edited headlines. However, it is expensive to collect a large number of professionally edited headlines. To solve this low-resource problem, we design an encoder-decoder model which leverages large scale pre-trained language models. We further improve the pre-trained model's quality by introducing a headline generation task as an intermediate task before the headline editing task. Also, we propose Self Importance-Aware (SIA) loss to address the different levels of editing in the dataset by down-weighting the importance of easily classified tokens and sentences. With the help of Pre-training, Adaptation, and SIA, the model learns to generate headlines in the professional editor's style. Experimental results show that our method significantly improves the quality of headline editing comparing against previous methods.
