The spike trains are the main components of the information processing in the brain. To model spike trains several point processes have been investigated in the literature. And more macroscopic approaches have also been studied, using partial differential equation models. The main aim of the present article is to build a bridge between several point processes models (Poisson, Wold, Hawkes) that have been proved to statistically fit real spike trains data and age-structured partial differential equations as introduced by Pakdaman, Perthame and Salort.

We introduce and study an extension of the classical elapsed time equation in the context of neuron populations that are described by the elapsed time since the last discharge, i.e., the refractory period. In this extension we incorporate the elapsed
since the penultimate discharge and we obtain a more complex system of integro-differential equations. For this new system we prove convergence to stationary state by means of Doeblins theory in the case of weak non-linearities in an appropriate functional setting, inspired by the case of the classical elapsed time equation. Moreover, we present some numerical simulations to observe how different firing rates can give different types of behaviors and to contrast them with theoretical results of both classical and extended models.
Neural networks are discrete entities: subdivided into discrete layers and parametrized by weights which are iteratively optimized via difference equations. Recent work proposes networks with layer outputs which are no longer quantized but are soluti
ons of an ordinary differential equation (ODE); however, these networks are still optimized via discrete methods (e.g. gradient descent). In this paper, we explore a different direction: namely, we propose a novel framework for learning in which the parameters themselves are solutions of ODEs. By viewing the optimization process as the evolution of a port-Hamiltonian system, we can ensure convergence to a minimum of the objective function. Numerical experiments have been performed to show the validity and effectiveness of the proposed methods.
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 pow
er 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.
In the present paper, an effort has been made for storing and recalling images with Hopfield Neural Network Model of auto-associative memory. Images are stored by calculating a corresponding weight matrix. Thereafter, starting from an arbitrary confi
guration, the memory will settle on exactly that stored image, which is nearest to the starting configuration in terms of Hamming distance. Thus given an incomplete or corrupted version of a stored image, the network is able to recall the corresponding original image. The storing of the objects has been performed according to the Hopfield algorithm explained below. Once the net has completely learnt this set of input patterns, a set of testing patterns containing degraded images will be given to the net. Then the Hopfield net will tend to recall the closest matching pattern for the given degraded image. The simulated results show that Hopfield model is the best for storing and recalling images.
A developmental disorder that severely damages communicative and social functions, the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) also presents aspects related to mental rigidity, repetitive behavior, and difficulty in abstract reasoning. More, imbalances betwee
n excitatory and inhibitory brain states, in addition to cortical connectivity disruptions, are at the source of the autistic behavior. Our main goal consists in unveiling the way by which these local excitatory imbalances and/or long brain connections disruptions are linked to the above mentioned cognitive features. We developed a theoretical model based on Self-Organizing Maps (SOM), where a three-level artificial neural network qualitatively incorporates these kinds of alterations observed in brains of patients with ASD. Computational simulations of our model indicate that high excitatory states or long distance under-connectivity are at the origins of cognitive alterations, as difficulty in categorization and mental rigidity. More specifically, the enlargement of excitatory synaptic reach areas in a cortical map development conducts to low categorization (over-selectivity) and poor concepts formation. And, both the over-strengthening of local excitatory synapses and the long distance under-connectivity, although through distinct mechanisms, contribute to impaired categorization (under-selectivity) and mental rigidity. Our results indicate how, together, both local and global brain connectivity alterations give rise to spoiled cortical structures in distinct ways and in distinct cortical areas. These alterations would disrupt the codification of sensory stimuli, the representation of concepts and, thus, the process of categorization - by this way imposing serious limits to the mental flexibility and to the capacity of generalization in the autistic reasoning.
