In this paper we draw inspiration from the human visual system, and present a bio-inspired pre-processing stage for neural networks. We implement this by applying a log-polar transformation as a pre-processing step, and to demonstrate, we have used a naive convolutional neural network (CNN). We demonstrate that a bio-inspired pre-processing stage can achieve rotation and scale robustness in CNNs. A key point in this paper is that the CNN does not need to be trained to identify rotation or scaling permutations; rather it is the log-polar pre-processing step that converts the image into a format that allows the CNN to handle rotation and scaling permutations. In addition we demonstrate how adding a log-polar transformation as a pre-processing step can reduce the image size to ~20% of the Euclidean image size, without significantly compromising classification accuracy of the CNN. The pre-processing stage presented in this paper is modelled after the retina and therefore is only tested against an image dataset. Note: This paper has been submitted for SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA 2020.

We describe a new technique which minimizes the amount of neurons in the hidden layer of a random recurrent neural network (rRNN) for time series prediction. Merging Takens-based attractor reconstruction methods with machine learning, we identify a m echanism for feature extraction that can be leveraged to lower the network size. We obtain criteria specific to the particular prediction task and derive the scaling law of the prediction error. The consequences of our theory are demonstrated by designing a Takens-inspired hybrid processor, which extends a rRNN with a priori designed delay external memory. Our hybrid architecture is therefore designed including both, real and virtual nodes. Via this symbiosis, we show performance of the hybrid processor by stabilizing an arrhythmic neural model. Thanks to our obtained design rules, we can reduce the stabilizing neural networks size by a factor of 15 with respect to a standard system.
Despite their advantages in terms of computational resources, latency, and power consumption, event-based implementations of neural networks have not been able to achieve the same performance figures as their equivalent state-of-the-art deep network models. We propose counter neurons as minimal spiking neuron models which only require addition and comparison operations, thus avoiding costly multiplications. We show how inference carried out in deep counter networks converges to the same accuracy levels as are achieved with state-of-the-art conventional networks. As their event-based style of computation leads to reduced latency and sparse updates, counter networks are ideally suited for efficient compact and low-power hardware implementation. We present theory and training methods for counter networks, and demonstrate on the MNIST benchmark that counter networks converge quickly, both in terms of time and number of operations required, to state-of-the-art classification accuracy.

Music auto-tagging is often handled in a similar manner to image classification by regarding the 2D audio spectrogram as image data. However, music auto-tagging is distinguished from image classification in that the tags are highly diverse and have d ifferent levels of abstractions. Considering this issue, we propose a convolutional neural networks (CNN)-based architecture that embraces multi-level and multi-scaled features. The architecture is trained in three steps. First, we conduct supervised feature learning to capture local audio features using a set of CNNs with different input sizes. Second, we extract audio features from each layer of the pre-trained convolutional networks separately and aggregate them altogether given a long audio clip. Finally, we put them into fully-connected networks and make final predictions of the tags. Our experiments show that using the combination of multi-level and multi-scale features is highly effective in music auto-tagging and the proposed method outperforms previous state-of-the-arts on the MagnaTagATune dataset and the Million Song Dataset. We further show that the proposed architecture is useful in transfer learning.
We introduce a convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN) for music tagging. CRNNs take advantage of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for local feature extraction and recurrent neural networks for temporal summarisation of the extracted featur es. We compare CRNN with three CNN structures that have been used for music tagging while controlling the number of parameters with respect to their performance and training time per sample. Overall, we found that CRNNs show a strong performance with respect to the number of parameter and training time, indicating the effectiveness of its hybrid structure in music feature extraction and feature summarisation.
To reduce random access memory (RAM) requirements and to increase speed of recognition algorithms we consider a weight discretization problem for trained neural networks. We show that an exponential discretization is preferable to a linear discretiza tion since it allows one to achieve the same accuracy when the number of bits is 1 or 2 less. The quality of the neural network VGG-16 is already satisfactory (top5 accuracy 69%) in the case of 3 bit exponential discretization. The ResNet50 neural network shows top5 accuracy 84% at 4 bits. Other neural networks perform fairly well at 5 bits (top5 accuracies of Xception, Inception-v3, and MobileNet-v2 top5 were 87%, 90%, and 77%, respectively). At less number of bits, the accuracy decreases rapidly.
