Brain-inspired artificial synaptic devices and neurons have the potential for application in future neuromorphic computing as they consume low energy. In this study, the memristive switching characteristics of a nitride-based device with two amorphous layers (SiN/BN) is investigated. We demonstrate the coexistence of filamentary (abrupt) and interface (homogeneous) switching of Ni/SiN/BN/n++-Si devices. A better gradual conductance modulation is achieved for interface-type switching as compared with filamentary switching for an artificial synaptic device using appropriate voltage pulse stimulations. The improved classification accuracy for the interface switching (85.6%) is confirmed and compared to the accuracy of the filamentary switching mode (75.1%) by a three-layer neural network (784 × 128 × 10). Furthermore, the spike-timing-dependent plasticity characteristics of the synaptic device are also demonstrated. The results indicate the possibility of achieving an artificial synapse with a bilayer SiN/BN structure.

Effect Of Oxygen

An amorphous Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (PCMO) film was grown on a TiN/SiO2/Si (TiN–Si) substrate at 300 °C and at an oxygen pressure (OP) of 100 mTorr. This PCMO memristor showed typical bipolar switching characteristics, which were attributed to the generation and disruption of oxygen vacancy (OV) filaments. Fabrication of the PCMO memristor at a high OP resulted in nonlinear conduction modulation with the application of equivalent pulses. However, the memristor fabricated at a low OP of 100 mTorr exhibited linear conduction modulation. The linearity of this memristor improved because the growth and disruption of the OV filaments were mostly determined by the redox reaction of OV owing to the presence of numerous OVs in this PCMO film. Furthermore, simulation using a convolutional neural network revealed that this PCMO memristor has enhanced classification performance owing to its linear conduction modulation. This memristor also exhibited several biological synaptic characteristics, indicating that an amorphous PCMO thin film fabricated at a low OP would be a suitable candidate for artificial synapses.

Background: Sentiment analysis is a contextual mining of text which determines viewpoint of users with respect to some sentimental topics commonly present at social networking websites. Twitter is one of the social sites where people express their opinion about any topic in the form of tweets. These tweets can be examined using various sentiment classification methods to find the opinion of users. Traditional sentiment analysis methods use manually extracted features for opinion classification. The manual feature extraction process is a complicated task since it requires predefined sentiment lexicons. On the other hand, deep learning methods automatically extract relevant features from data hence; they provide better performance and richer representation competency than the traditional methods. Objective: The main aim of this paper is to enhance the sentiment classification accuracy and to reduce the computational cost. Method: To achieve the objective, a hybrid deep learning model, based on convolution neural network and bi-directional long-short term memory neural network has been introduced. Results: The proposed sentiment classification method achieves the highest accuracy for the most of the datasets. Further, from the statistical analysis efficacy of the proposed method has been validated. Conclusion: Sentiment classification accuracy can be improved by creating veracious hybrid models. Moreover, performance can also be enhanced by tuning the hyper parameters of deep leaning models.

In this paper, a hybrid method based on deep learning is proposed to visually classify terrains encountered by mobile robots. Considering the limited computing resource on mobile robots and the requirement for high classification accuracy, the proposed hybrid method combines a convolutional neural network with a support vector machine to keep a high classification accuracy while improve work efficiency. The key idea is that the convolutional neural network is used to finish a multi-class classification and simultaneously the support vector machine is used to make a two-class classification. The two-class classification performed by the support vector machine is aimed at one kind of terrain that users are mostly concerned with. Results of the two classifications will be consolidated to get the final classification result. The convolutional neural network used in this method is modified for the on-board usage of mobile robots. In order to enhance efficiency, the convolutional neural network has a simple architecture. The convolutional neural network and the support vector machine are trained and tested by using RGB images of six kinds of common terrains. Experimental results demonstrate that this method can help robots classify terrains accurately and efficiently. Therefore, the proposed method has a significant potential for being applied to the on-board usage of mobile robots.

In recent years, image classification on hyperspectral imagery utilizing deep learning algorithms has attained good results. Thus, spurred by that finding and to further improve the deep learning classification accuracy, we propose a multi-scale residual convolutional neural network model fused with an efficient channel attention network (MRA-NET) that is appropriate for hyperspectral image classification. The suggested technique comprises a multi-staged architecture, where initially the spectral information of the hyperspectral image is reduced into a two-dimensional tensor, utilizing a principal component analysis (PCA) scheme. Then, the constructed low-dimensional image is input to our proposed ECA-NET deep network, which exploits the advantages of its core components, i.e., multi-scale residual structure and attention mechanisms. We evaluate the performance of the proposed MRA-NET on three public available hyperspectral datasets and demonstrate that, overall, the classification accuracy of our method is 99.82 %, 99.81%, and 99.37, respectively, which is higher compared to the corresponding accuracy of current networks such as 3D convolutional neural network (CNN), three-dimensional residual convolution structure (RES-3D-CNN), and space–spectrum joint deep network (SSRN).

Neuronal Avalanches

In recent years, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated that networks in the brain can self-organize into a critical state where dynamics exhibit a mixture of ordered and disordered patterns. This critical branching phenomenon is termed neuronal avalanches. It has been hypothesized that the homeostatic level balanced between stability and plasticity of this critical state may be the optimal state for performing diverse neural computational tasks. However, the critical region for high performance is narrow and sensitive for spiking neural networks (SNNs). In this paper, we investigated the role of the critical state in neural computations based on liquid-state machines, a biologically plausible computational neural network model for real-time computing. The computational performance of an SNN when operating at the critical state and, in particular, with spike-timing-dependent plasticity for updating synaptic weights is investigated. The network is found to show the best computational performance when it is subjected to critical dynamic states. Moreover, the active-neuron-dominant structure refined from synaptic learning can remarkably enhance the robustness of the critical state and further improve computational accuracy. These results may have important implications in the modelling of spiking neural networks with optimal computational performance. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Mathematical methods in medicine: neuroscience, cardiology and pathology’.

Recently, social touch gesture recognition has been considered an important topic for touch modality, which can lead to highly efficient and realistic human-robot interaction. In this paper, a deep convolutional neural network is selected to implement a social touch recognition system for raw input samples (sensor data) only. The touch gesture recognition is performed using a dataset previously measured with numerous subjects that perform varying social gestures. This dataset is dubbed as the corpus of social touch, where touch was performed on a mannequin arm. A leave-one-subject-out cross-validation method is used to evaluate system performance. The proposed method can recognize gestures in nearly real time after acquiring a minimum number of frames (the average range of frame length was from 0.2% to 4.19% from the original frame lengths) with a classification accuracy of 63.7%. The achieved classification accuracy is competitive in terms of the performance of existing algorithms. Furthermore, the proposed system outperforms other classification algorithms in terms of classification ratio and touch recognition time without data preprocessing for the same dataset.
