Part I describes an intelligent acoustic emission locator, while Part II discusses blind source separation, time delay estimation and location of two continuous acoustic emission sources. Acoustic emission (AE) analysis is used for characterization and location of developing defects in materials. AE sources often generate a mixture of various statistically independent signals. A difficult problem of AE analysis is separation and characterization of signal components when the signals from various sources and the mode of mixing are unknown. Recently, blind source separation (BSS) by independent component analysis (ICA) has been used to solve these problems. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the applicability of ICA to locate two independent simultaneously active acoustic emission sources on an aluminum band specimen. The method is promising for non-destructive testing of aircraft frame structures by acoustic emission analysis.

The intelligent acoustic emission locator is described in Part I, while Part II discusses blind source separation, time delay estimation and location of two simultaneously active continuous acoustic emission sources. The location of acoustic emissi on on complicated aircraft frame structures is a difficult problem of non-destructive testing. This article describes an intelligent acoustic emission source locator. The intelligent locator comprises a sensor antenna and a general regression neural network, which solves the location problem based on learning from examples. Locator performance was tested on different test specimens. Tests have shown that the accuracy of location depends on sound velocity and attenuation in the specimen, the dimensions of the tested area, and the properties of stored data. The location accuracy achieved by the intelligent locator is comparable to that obtained by the conventional triangulation method, while the applicability of the intelligent locator is more general since analysis of sonic ray paths is avoided. This is a promising method for non-destructive testing of aircraft frame structures by the acoustic emission method.
Inspired by the operation of biological brains, Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) have the unique ability to detect information encoded in spatio-temporal patterns of spiking signals. Examples of data types requiring spatio-temporal processing include l ogs of time stamps, e.g., of tweets, and outputs of neural prostheses and neuromorphic sensors. In this paper, the second of a series of three review papers on SNNs, we first review models and training algorithms for the dominant approach that considers SNNs as a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and adapt learning rules based on backpropagation through time to the requirements of SNNs. In order to tackle the non-differentiability of the spiking mechanism, state-of-the-art solutions use surrogate gradients that approximate the threshold activation function with a differentiable function. Then, we describe an alternative approach that relies on probabilistic models for spiking neurons, allowing the derivation of local learning rules via stochastic estimates of the gradient. Finally, experiments are provided for neuromorphic data sets, yielding insights on accuracy and convergence under different SNN models.

The choice of parameters, and the design of the network architecture are important factors affecting the performance of deep neural networks. However, there has not been much work on developing an established and systematic way of building the struct ure and choosing the parameters of a neural network, and this task heavily depends on trial and error and empirical results. Considering that there are many design and parameter choices, such as the number of neurons in each layer, the type of activation function, the choice of using drop out or not, it is very hard to cover every configuration, and find the optimal structure. In this paper, we propose a novel and systematic method that autonomously and simultaneously optimizes multiple parameters of any given deep neural network by using a generative adversarial network (GAN). In our proposed approach, two different models compete and improve each other progressively with a GAN-based strategy. Our proposed approach can be used to autonomously refine the parameters, and improve the accuracy of different deep neural network architectures. Without loss of generality, the proposed method has been tested with three different neural network architectures, and three very different datasets and applications. The results show that the presented approach can simultaneously and successfully optimize multiple neural network parameters, and achieve increased accuracy in all three scenarios.
This paper introduces two ongoing research projects which seek to apply computer modelling techniques in order to simulate human behaviour within organisations. Previous research in other disciplines has suggested that complex social behaviours are g overned by relatively simple rules which, when identified, can be used to accurately model such processes using computer technology. The broad objective of our research is to develop a similar capability within organisational psychology.
Non-Volatile Memories (NVMs) such as Resistive RAM (RRAM) are used in neuromorphic systems to implement high-density and low-power analog synaptic weights. Unfortunately, an RRAM cell can switch its state after reading its content a certain number of times. Such behavior challenges the integrity and program-once-read-many-times philosophy of implementing machine learning inference on neuromorphic systems, impacting the Quality-of-Service (QoS). Elevated temperatures and frequent usage can significantly shorten the number of times an RRAM cell can be reliably read before it becomes absolutely necessary to reprogram. We propose an architectural solution to extend the read endurance of RRAM-based neuromorphic systems. We make two key contributions. First, we formulate the read endurance of an RRAM cell as a function of the programmed synaptic weight and its activation within a machine learning workload. Second, we propose an intelligent workload mapping strategy incorporating the endurance formulation to place the synapses of a machine learning model onto the RRAM cells of the hardware. The objective is to extend the inference lifetime, defined as the number of times the model can be used to generate output (inference) before the trained weights need to be reprogrammed on the RRAM cells of the system. We evaluate our architectural solution with machine learning workloads on a cycle-accurate simulator of an RRAM-based neuromorphic system. Our results demonstrate a significant increase in inference lifetime with only a minimal performance impact.
