This report discusses the application of neural networks (NNs) as small segments of the brain. The networks representing the biological connectome are altered both spatially and temporally. The degradation techniques applied here are…

Drawing inspiration from our human brain that designs different neurons for different tasks, recent advances in deep learning have explored modifying a network's neurons to develop so-called task-driven neurons. Prototyping task-driven…

Advancements in parallel processing have lead to a surge in multilayer perceptrons' (MLP) applications and deep learning in the past decades. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) give additional representational power to feedforward MLPs by…

Deep Learning Accelerators are prone to faults which manifest in the form of errors in Neural Networks. Fault Tolerance in Neural Networks is crucial in real-time safety critical applications requiring computation for long durations. Neural…

Artificial neural networks thrive in solving the classification problem for a particular rigid task, acquiring knowledge through generalized learning behaviour from a distinct training phase. The resulting network resembles a static entity…

We introduce twin neural network (TNN) regression. This method predicts differences between the target values of two different data points rather than the targets themselves. The solution of a traditional regression problem is then obtained…

Recurrent neural networks have been extensively studied in the context of neuroscience and machine learning due to their ability to implement complex computations. While substantial progress in designing effective learning algorithms has…

Deep unfolding methods---for example, the learned iterative shrinkage thresholding algorithm (LISTA)---design deep neural networks as learned variations of optimization methods. These networks have been shown to achieve faster convergence…

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are a class of neural networks used in sequential tasks. However, in general, RNNs have a large number of parameters and involve enormous computational costs by repeating the recurrent structures in many…

The choice of learning rate (LR) functions and policies has evolved from a simple fixed LR to the decaying LR and the cyclic LR, aiming to improve the accuracy and reduce the training time of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). This paper presents…

Neural plasticity is an important functionality of human brain, in which number of neurons and synapses can shrink or expand in response to stimuli throughout the span of life. We model this dynamic learning process as an $L_0$-norm…

Recurrent convolution (RC) shares the same convolutional kernels and unrolls them multiple steps, which is originally proposed to model time-space signals. We argue that RC can be viewed as a model compression strategy for deep…

An internal model of the own body can be assumed a fundamental and evolutionary-early representation as it is present throughout the animal kingdom. Such functional models are, on the one hand, required in motor control, for example solving…

We propose a novel way to improve the generalisation capacity of deep learning models by reducing high correlations between neurons. For this, we present two regularisation terms computed from the weights of a minimum spanning tree of the…

Underpinning the past decades of work on the design, initialization, and optimization of neural networks is a seemingly innocuous assumption: that the network is trained on a \textit{stationary} data distribution. In settings where this…

We investigate the computational complexity of various problems for simple recurrent neural networks (RNNs) as formal models for recognizing weighted languages. We focus on the single-layer, ReLU-activation, rational-weight RNNs with…

Fault detection in rotating machinery is a complex task, particularly in small and heterogeneous dataset scenarios. Variability in sensor placement, machinery configurations, and structural differences further increase the complexity of the…

Learning a task induces connectivity changes in neural circuits, thereby changing their dynamics. To elucidate task related neural dynamics we study trained Recurrent Neural Networks. We develop a Mean Field Theory for Reservoir Computing…

Training neural networks is an optimization problem, and finding a decent set of parameters through gradient descent can be a difficult task. A host of techniques has been developed to aid this process before and during the training phase.…

Hypernetworks, or hypernets for short, are neural networks that generate weights for another neural network, known as the target network. They have emerged as a powerful deep learning technique that allows for greater flexibility,…
