Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a lack of social communication and social interaction. Autism is a mental disorder investigated by social and computational intelligence scientists utilizing advanced technologies such as machine learning models to enhance clinicians’ ability to provide robust diagnosis and prognosis of autism. However, with dynamic changes in autism behaviour patterns, these models’ quality and accuracy have become a great challenge for clinical practitioners. We applied a deep neural network learning on a large brain image dataset obtained from ABIDE (autism brain imaging data exchange) to provide an efficient diagnosis of ASD, especially for children. Our deep learning model combines unsupervised neural network learning, an autoencoder, and supervised deep learning using convolutional neural networks. Our proposed algorithm outperforms individual-based classifiers measured by various validations and assessment measures. Experimental results indicate that the autoencoder combined with the convolution neural networks provides the best performance by achieving 84.05% accuracy and Area under the Curve (AUC) value of 0.78.

In this paper, we explore the concept of sequential learning and the efficacy of global and local neural network learning algorithms on a sequential learning task. Pseudorehearsal, a method developed by Robins19) to solve the catastrophic forgetting problem which arises from the excessive plasticity of neural networks, is significantly more effective than other local learning algorithms for the sequential task. We further consider the concept of local learning and suggest that pseudorehearsal is so effective because it works directly at the level of the learned function, and not indirectly on the representation of the function within the network. We also briefly explore the effect of local learning on generalization within the task.

The Autopilot is importance for a ship to navigate safely and economically, so we proposes an intelligent reference modeling adaptive controller for ship steering based on neural networks. In order to satisfy the requirements of ship’s course control under various sea status, we used fuzzy logic and neural networks to design the feedback controller, used multilayer perceptron neural network to design the reference model and the identification network. In order to enhance adaptive characteristics of the controller,the parameters of membership functions and connection weights etc were revised online with neural network learning algorithm. The results of simulation shown that the performance of the ship controller is valuable and effective.

ABSTRACT The use of deep neural networks (DNNs) for analysis of complex biomedical images shows great promise but is hampered by a lack of large verified data sets for rapid network evolution. Here, we present a novel strategy, termed “mimicry embedding,” for rapid application of neural network architecture-based analysis of pathogen imaging data sets. Embedding of a novel host-pathogen data set, such that it mimics a verified data set, enables efficient deep learning using high expressive capacity architectures and seamless architecture switching. We applied this strategy across various microbiological phenotypes, from superresolved viruses to in vitro and in vivo parasitic infections. We demonstrate that mimicry embedding enables efficient and accurate analysis of two- and three-dimensional microscopy data sets. The results suggest that transfer learning from pretrained network data may be a powerful general strategy for analysis of heterogeneous pathogen fluorescence imaging data sets. IMPORTANCE In biology, the use of deep neural networks (DNNs) for analysis of pathogen infection is hampered by a lack of large verified data sets needed for rapid network evolution. Artificial neural networks detect handwritten digits with high precision thanks to large data sets, such as MNIST, that allow nearly unlimited training. Here, we developed a novel strategy we call mimicry embedding, which allows artificial intelligence (AI)-based analysis of variable pathogen-host data sets. We show that deep learning can be used to detect and classify single pathogens based on small differences.

Among various neural network learning control schemes, feedback error learning(FEL)8),9) has been known that it has advantages over other schemes. However, such advantages are founded on the assumption that the systems is linearly parameterized and stable. Thus, FEL has difficulties in coping with uncertain and unstable systems. Furthermore, it is not clear how the learning rule of FEL is obtained in the minimization sense. Therefore, to overcome such problems, we propose neural network control schemes using FEL with guaranteed performance. The proposed strategy is to use multi-layer neural networks, to design a stabilityguaranteeing controller(SGC), and to derive a learning rule to obtain the tracking performance. Using multilayer neural networks we can fully utilize the learning capability no matter how the system is linearly parameterized or not. The SGC makes it possible for the neural network to learn without fear of instability. As a result, the more the neural network learning proceeds, the better the tracking performance becomes.

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) define as a scope of disability in the development of certain conditions such as social communication, imagination, and patients' capabilities to make some connection. In Malaysia, the number of ASD cases diagnosed is increasing each year. Typically, ASD patients are analyzed by doctors based on history and behavior observation without the ability to diagnose instantaneously. This research intends to study the ASD biomarker based on neuroimaging functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) images, which can aid doctors in diagnosing ASD. This study applies a deep learning method from Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) variants to detect either the patients are ASD or non-ASD and extract the robust characteristics from neuroimages in fMRI. Then, it interprets the performance of pre-processed images in the form of accuracy to classify the neural patterns. The Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE) dataset was used to research the brain imaging of ASD patients. The results achieved using CNN models namely VGG-16 and ResNet-50 are 63.4% and 87.0% accuracy, respectively. This method also assists doctors in detecting Autism from a quantifiable method that is not dependent on the behavioral observations of suspected autistic children.
