Neural Logic Networks


Book Description

This book is the first of a series of technical reports of a key research project of the Real-World Computing Program supported by the MITI of Japan.The main goal of the project is to model human intelligence by a special class of mathematical systems called neural logic networks.The book consists of three parts. Part 1 describes the general theory of neural logic networks and their potential applications. Part 2 discusses a new logic called Neural Logic which attempts to emulate more closely the logical thinking process of human. Part 3 studies the special features of neural logic networks which resemble the human intuition process.This book should appeal to researchers in artificial intelligence, neural computings and logic, as well as graduate and advance undergraduate students in computer science.

Explainable Neural Networks Based on Fuzzy Logic and Multi-criteria Decision Tools


Book Description

The research presented in this book shows how combining deep neural networks with a special class of fuzzy logical rules and multi-criteria decision tools can make deep neural networks more interpretable – and even, in many cases, more efficient. Fuzzy logic together with multi-criteria decision-making tools provides very powerful tools for modeling human thinking. Based on their common theoretical basis, we propose a consistent framework for modeling human thinking by using the tools of all three fields: fuzzy logic, multi-criteria decision-making, and deep learning to help reduce the black-box nature of neural models; a challenge that is of vital importance to the whole research community.

Neural Networks and Fuzzy-logic Control on Personal Computers and Workstations


Book Description

Neural Networks and Fuzzy-Logic Control introduces a simple integrated environment for programming displays and report generation. It includes the only currently available software that permits combined simulation of multiple neural networks, fuzzy-logic controllers, and dynamic systems such as robots or physiological models. The enclosed educational version of DESIRE/NEUNET differs for the full system mainly in the size of its data area and includes a compiler, two screen editors, color graphics, and many ready-to-run examples. The software lets users or instructors add their own help screens and interactive menus. The version of DESIRE/NEUNET included here is for PCs, viz. 286/287, 386/387, 486DX, Pentium, P6, SX with math coprocessor.




Neural-Symbolic Learning Systems


Book Description

Artificial Intelligence is concerned with producing devices that help or replace human beings in their daily activities. Neural-symbolic learning systems play a central role in this task by combining, and trying to benefit from, the advantages of both the neural and symbolic paradigms of artificial intelligence. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of neural-symbolic learning systems, and an invaluable overview of the latest research issues in this area. It is divided into three sections, covering the main topics of neural-symbolic integration - theoretical advances in knowledge representation and learning, knowledge extraction from trained neural networks, and inconsistency handling in neural-symbolic systems. Each section provides a balance of theory and practice, giving the results of applications using real-world problems in areas such as DNA sequence analysis, power systems fault diagnosis, and software requirements specifications. Neural-Symbolic Learning Systems will be invaluable reading for researchers and graduate students in Engineering, Computing Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Neurocomputing. It will also be of interest to Intelligent Systems practitioners and anyone interested in applications of hybrid artificial intelligence systems.




Learning and Soft Computing


Book Description

This textbook provides a thorough introduction to the field of learning from experimental data and soft computing. Support vector machines (SVM) and neural networks (NN) are the mathematical structures, or models, that underlie learning, while fuzzy logic systems (FLS) enable us to embed structured human knowledge into workable algorithms. The book assumes that it is not only useful, but necessary, to treat SVM, NN, and FLS as parts of a connected whole. Throughout, the theory and algorithms are illustrated by practical examples, as well as by problem sets and simulated experiments. This approach enables the reader to develop SVM, NN, and FLS in addition to understanding them. The book also presents three case studies: on NN-based control, financial time series analysis, and computer graphics. A solutions manual and all of the MATLAB programs needed for the simulated experiments are available.




Introduction to Neural Network Verification


Book Description

Over the past decade, a number of hardware and software advances have conspired to thrust deep learning and neural networks to the forefront of computing. Deep learning has created a qualitative shift in our conception of what software is and what it can do: Every day we're seeing new applications of deep learning, from healthcare to art, and it feels like we're only scratching the surface of a universe of new possibilities. This book offers the first introduction of foundational ideas from automated verification as applied to deep neural networks and deep learning. It is divided into three parts: Part 1 defines neural networks as data-flow graphs of operators over real-valued inputs. Part 2 discusses constraint-based techniques for verification. Part 3 discusses abstraction-based techniques for verification. The book is a self-contained treatment of a topic that sits at the intersection of machine learning and formal verification. It can serve as an introduction to the field for first-year graduate students or senior undergraduates, even if they have not been exposed to deep learning or verification.




Neural Networks and Intellect
