AbstractBiologically inspired spiking neural networks are increasingly popular in the field of artificial intelligence due to their ability to solve complex problems while being power efficient. They do so by leveraging the timing of discrete spikes as main information carrier. Though, industrial applications are still lacking, partially because the question of how to encode incoming data into discrete spike events cannot be uniformly answered. In this paper, we summarise the signal encoding schemes presented in the literature and propose a uniform nomenclature to prevent the vague usage of ambiguous definitions. Therefore we survey both, the theoretical foundations as well as applications of the encoding schemes. This work provides a foundation in spiking signal encoding and gives an overview over different application-oriented implementations which utilise the schemes.

The goal of this paper is to use artificial intelligence to build and evaluate an adaptive learning system where we adopt the basic approaches of spiking neural networks as well as artificial neural networks. Spiking neural networks receive increasing attention due to their advantages over traditional artificial neural networks. They have proven to be energy efficient, biological plausible, and up to 105 times faster if they are simulated on analogue traditional learning systems. Artificial neural network libraries use computational graphs as a pervasive representation, however, spiking models remain heterogeneous and difficult to train. Using the artificial intelligence deductive method, the paper posits two hypotheses that examines whether 1) there exists a common representation for both neural networks paradigms for tutorial mentoring, and whether 2) spiking and non-spiking models can learn a simple recognition task for learning activities for adaptive learning. The first hypothesis is confirmed by specifying and implementing a domain-specific language that generates semantically similar spiking and non-spiking neural networks for tutorial mentoring. Through three classification experiments, the second hypothesis is shown to hold for non-spiking models, but cannot be proven for the spiking models. The paper contributes three findings: 1) a domain-specific language for modelling neural network topologies in adaptive tutorial mentoring for students, 2) a preliminary model for generalizable learning through back-propagation in spiking neural networks for learning activities for students also represented in results section, and 3) a method for transferring optimised non-spiking parameters to spiking neural networks has also been developed for adaptive learning system. The latter contribution is promising because the vast machine learning literature can spill-over to the emerging field of spiking neural networks and adaptive learning computing. Future work includes improving the back-propagation model, exploring time-dependent models for learning, and adding support for adaptive learning systems.

Spiking neural networks (SNN) are able to emulate real neural behavior with high confidence due to their bio-inspired nature. Many designs have been proposed for the implementation of SNN in hardware, although the realization of high-density and biologically-inspired SNN is currently a complex challenge of high scientific and technical interest. In this work, we propose a compact digital design for the implementation of high-volume SNN that considers the intrinsic stochastic processes present in biological neurons and enables high-density hardware implementation. The proposed stochastic SNN model (SSNN) is compared with previous SSNN models, achieving a higher processing speed. We also show how the proposed model can be scaled to high-volume neural networks trained by using back propagation and applied to a pattern classification task. The proposed model achieves better results compared with other recently-published SNN models configured with unsupervised STDP learning.

This paper represented on the Deep learning technique growing in the learning community of machines, as traditional learning architecture has proven incompetent for the machine learning challenging tasks and strong feature of artificial intelligence (AI). Increasing and widespread availability of computing power, along the use of efficient training and improvement algorithms, has made it possible to implement, until then, the concept of deep learning. These development events deep learning architecture and algorithms look at cognitive neuroscience and point to biologically inspired solutions for learning. This paper represented on the rule of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Neural Networks (SNNs) and Hierarchical Temporary Memory (HTM), and other related techniques to the least mature technique.
