The model uses the self-organizing map (SOM) to approximate the mapping using just some states of the trajectory.","PeriodicalId":157186,"journal":{"name":"VII Brazilian Symposium on Neural Networks, 2002.

(1997, 1998) on the limit of what can be actually computed by neural networks when noise (or limited precision on the weights) is considered, we introduce the notion of definite Turing machine (DTM) and investigate some of its properties. We associate to every Turing machine (TM) a finite state automaton (FSA) responsible for the next state transition and action (output and head movement). A DTM is TM in which its FSA is definite. A FSA is definite (of order k>0) if its present state can be uniquely determined by the last k inputs. We show that DTM are strictly less powerful than TM but are capable to compute all simple functions. The corresponding notion of finite-memory Turing machine is shown to be computationally equivalent to Turing machine.","PeriodicalId":157186,"journal":{"name":"VII Brazilian Symposium on Neural Networks, 2002.

It is also suggested the existence of a dichotomy in the neural substrates, which could result or not in the aversion behavior. In the present work, we propose a model that focus on the interaction between modules. This interaction take the form of a modulatory mechanism. In order to explore this model, our tests were conceived with the aim of representing the transposition of an obstacle by a hypothetical organism.","PeriodicalId":157186,"journal":{"name":"VII Brazilian Symposium on Neural Networks, 2002.

Much attention is now given to the analysis of this data. A great part of these analysis is carried out with the use of intelligent computational techniques. However, many of the genetic databases are characterized by the presence of noisy data, which can deteriorate the performance of the computational techniques applied. This work studies the influence of noisy data in the training of three different learning methods: decision trees, artificial neural networks and support vector machines. The task investigated is the recognition of splice junctions in DNA sequences, which is part of the gene identification problem. Results indicate that the elimination of noisy patterns from the dataset can improve the learning algorithms' performance, with no significant reduction in their generalization ability.","PeriodicalId":157186,"journal":{"name":"VII Brazilian Symposium on Neural Networks, 2002.

We also discuss a potential problem with sequential algorithms: the non frequent but damaging selection through their heuristics of particularly bad ensemble members. We show that one can cope with this problem by allowing individual weighting of aggregate members. Our algorithms and their weighted modifications are favorably tested against other methods in the literature, producing a performance improvement on the standard statistical databases used as benchmarks.","PeriodicalId":157186,"journal":{"name":"VII Brazilian Symposium on Neural Networks, 2002.
