Recently, FPGA has been increasingly applied to problems such as speech recognition, machine learning, and cloud computation such as the Bing search engine used by Microsoft. This is due to FPGAs great parallel computation capacity as well as low power consumption compared to general purpose processors. However, these applications mainly focus on large scale FPGA clusters which have an extreme processing power for executing massive matrix or convolution operations but are unsuitable for portable or mobile applications. This paper describes research on single-FPGA platform to explore the applications of FPGAs in these fields. In this project, we design a Deep Recurrent Neural Network (DRNN) Language Model (LM) and implement a hardware accelerator with AXI Stream interface on a PYNQ board which is equipped with a XILINX ZYNQ SOC XC7Z020 1CLG400C. The PYNQ has not only abundant programmable logic resources but also a flexible embedded operation system, which makes it suitable to be applied in the natural language processing field. We design the DRNN language model with Python and Theano, train the model on a CPU platform, and deploy the model on a PYNQ board to validate the model with Jupyter notebook. Meanwhile, we design the hardware accelerator with Overlay, which is a kind of hardware library on PYNQ, and verify the acceleration effect on the PYNQ board. Finally, we have found that the DRNN language model can be deployed on the embedded system smoothly and the Overlay accelerator with AXI Stream interface performs at 20 GOPS processing throughput, which constitutes a 70.5X and 2.75X speed up compared to the work in Ref.30 and Ref.31 respectively.

This paper introduces two recurrent neural network structures called Simple Gated Unit (SGU) and Deep Simple Gated Unit (DSGU), which are general structures for learning long term dependencies. Compared to traditional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) an
d Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), both structures require fewer parameters and less computation time in sequence classification tasks. Unlike GRU and LSTM, which require more than one gates to control information flow in the network, SGU and DSGU only use one multiplicative gate to control the flow of information. We show that this difference can accelerate the learning speed in tasks that require long dependency information. We also show that DSGU is more numerically stable than SGU. In addition, we also propose a standard way of representing inner structure of RNN called RNN Conventional Graph (RCG), which helps analyzing the relationship between input units and hidden units of RNN.
The ability to attend to salient regions of a visual scene is an innate and necessary preprocessing step for both biological and engineered systems performing high-level visual tasks (e.g. object detection, tracking, and classification). Computationa
l efficiency, in regard to processing bandwidth and speed, is improved by only devoting computational resources to salient regions of the visual stimuli. In this paper, we first present a neuromorphic, bottom-up, dynamic visual saliency model based on the notion of proto-objects. This is achieved by incorporating the temporal characteristics of the visual stimulus into the model, similarly to the manner in which early stages of the human visual system extracts temporal information. This neuromorphic model outperforms state-of-the-art dynamic visual saliency models in predicting human eye fixations on a commonly used video dataset with associated eye tracking data. Secondly, for this model to have practical applications, it must be capable of performing its computations in real-time under low-power, small-size, and lightweight constraints. To address this, we introduce a Field-Programmable Gate Array implementation of the model on an Opal Kelly 7350 Kintex-7 board. This novel hardware implementation allows for processing of up to 23.35 frames per second running on a 100 MHz clock - better than 26x speedup from the software implementation.
Photonic Neural Network implementations have been gaining considerable attention as a potentially disruptive future technology. Demonstrating learning in large scale neural networks is essential to establish photonic machine learning substrates as vi
able information processing systems. Realizing photonic Neural Networks with numerous nonlinear nodes in a fully parallel and efficient learning hardware was lacking so far. We demonstrate a network of up to 2500 diffractively coupled photonic nodes, forming a large scale Recurrent Neural Network. Using a Digital Micro Mirror Device, we realize reinforcement learning. Our scheme is fully parallel, and the passive weights maximize energy efficiency and bandwidth. The computational output efficiently converges and we achieve very good performance.
Identifying university students weaknesses results in better learning and can function as an early warning system to enable students to improve. However, the satisfaction level of existing systems is not promising. New and dynamic hybrid systems are
needed to imitate this mechanism. A hybrid system (a modified Recurrent Neural Network with an adapted Grey Wolf Optimizer) is used to forecast students outcomes. This proposed system would improve instruction by the faculty and enhance the students learning experiences. The results show that a modified recurrent neural network with an adapted Grey Wolf Optimizer has the best accuracy when compared with other models.
In long-term deployments of sensor networks, monitoring the quality of gathered data is a critical issue. Over the time of deployment, sensors are exposed to harsh conditions, causing some of them to fail or to deliver less accurate data. If such a d
egradation remains undetected, the usefulness of a sensor network can be greatly reduced. We present an approach that learns spatio-temporal correlations between different sensors, and makes use of the learned model to detect misbehaving sensors by using distributed computation and only local communication between nodes. We introduce SODESN, a distributed recurrent neural network architecture, and a learning method to train SODESN for fault detection in a distributed scenario. Our approach is evaluated using data from different types of sensors and is able to work well even with less-than-perfect link qualities and more than 50% of failed nodes.
