High Speed Optical Higher Order Neural Networks for Discovering Data Trends and Patterns in Very Large Databases

Author(s):  
David R. Selviah

This chapter describes the progress in using optical technology to construct high-speed artificial higher order neural network systems. The chapter reviews how optical technology can speed up searches within large databases in order to identify relationships and dependencies between individual data records, such as financial or business time-series, as well as trends and relationships within them. Two distinct approaches in which optics may be used are reviewed. In the first approach, the chapter reviews current research replacing copper connections in a conventional data storage system, such as a several terabyte RAID array of magnetic hard discs, by optical waveguides to achieve very high data rates with low crosstalk interference. In the second approach, the chapter reviews how high speed optical correlators with feedback can be used to realize artificial higher order neural networks using Fourier Transform free space optics and holographic database storage.

This chapter presents macroscopic properties of higher order neural networks. Randomly connected Neural Networks (RNNs) are known as a convenient model to investigate the macroscopic properties of neural networks. They are investigated by using the statistical method of neuro-dynamics. By applying the approach to higher order neural networks, macroscopic properties of them are made clear. The approach establishes: (a) there are differences between stability of RNNs and Randomly connected Higher Order Neural Networks (RHONNs) in the cases of the digital state -model and the analog state model; (b) there is no difference between stability of RNNs and RHONNs in the cases of the digital state -model and the analog state -model; (c) with neural networks with oscillation, there are large differences between RNNs and RHONNs in the cases of the digital state -model and the analog state -model, that is, there exists complex dynamics in each model for ; (d) behavior of groups composed of RHONNs are represented as a combination of the behavior of each RHONN.

In this chapter, the authors provide fundamental principles of Higher Order Neural Units (HONUs) and Higher Order Neural Networks (HONNs) for modeling and simulation. An essential core of HONNs can be found in higher order weighted combinations or correlations between the input variables and HONU. Except for the high quality of nonlinear approximation of static HONUs, the capability of dynamic HONUs for the modeling of dynamic systems is shown and compared to conventional recurrent neural networks when a practical learning algorithm is used. In addition, the potential of continuous dynamic HONUs to approximate high dynamic order systems is discussed, as adaptable time delays can be implemented. By using some typical examples, this chapter describes how and why higher order combinations or correlations can be effective for modeling of systems.

Aiming to develop a systematic approach for optimizing the structure of artificial higher order neural networks (HONN) for system modeling and function approximation, a new HONN topology, namely polynomial kernel networks, is proposed in this chapter. Structurally, the polynomial kernel network can be viewed as a three-layer feedforward neural network with a special polynomial activation function for the nodes in the hidden layer. The new network is equivalent to a HONN; however, due to the underlying connections with polynomial kernel support vector machines, the weights and the structure of the network can be determined simultaneously using structural risk minimization. The advantage of the topology of the polynomial kernel network and the use of a support vector kernel expansion paves the way to represent nonlinear functions or systems, and underpins some advanced analysis of the network performance. In this chapter, from the perspective of network complexity, both quadratic programming and linear programming based training of the polynomial kernel network are investigated.
