Based on an information theory approach, an entropy associated with a given structure of the network was defined as a global descriptor of the system dynamics. Any kind of discrete time neural model with any size is allowed, including CNN's as a particular case. By performing two or one dimensional analysis trough the weights space, some new properties of the opposite-template CNN's were discovered, e.g. the existence of robustness domains which means that small controllable change in weights values implies no change in the network's entropy. Using this software package, robust chaotic networks capable of generating white-noise like signals were also discovered.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":248898,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Third IEEE International Workshop on Cellular Neural Networks and their Applications (CNNA-94)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130685511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper is concerned with the physical implementation of a CNN which realizes a specific predefined image processing operation. The circuit is intended to be realized in a 1.2 /spl mu/m CMOS process. The VLSI chip is expected to be used as a smart sensor of visual information and its main function is to detect objects with an area which exceeds some user-defined threshold value. For proper operation the circuit should provide an appropriate image preprocessing to cancel the effects of non-uniform image illumination and to suppress image noise. The kernel of the proposed circuit is a reprogrammable CNN, based on the concept of a pulse-mode CNN. The paper presents an architecture of a basic element of the circuit-a reprogrammable cell, designed using the current-mode approach. The proposed cell architecture differs from the solutions presented so far since it is optimized to ensure these processing properties, which are important for proper circuit operation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":248898,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Third IEEE International Workshop on Cellular Neural Networks and their Applications (CNNA-94)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123094500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In such way a signal is described through the CNN initial state, the cloning template and the time instant t/sub 0/.

An analog VLSI design has been developed that allows different classes of nonlinearities specific to each neuron population to define the transfer function of a network of neurons implemented in hardware. Principles of a CNN design have been used to generate local interactions between adjacent processing elements. Non-local interactions will be implemented in future designs with the use of multiple chips. In this manner, we are attempting to better integrate into a hardware device the unique information processing and learning capabilities of real biological neurons known to perform those functions.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":248898,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Third IEEE International Workshop on Cellular Neural Networks and their Applications (CNNA-94)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132692042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A novel deterministic approach to the convergence of (stochastic) learning algorithms is presented. The link is the new concept of time-average invariance which is a property of deterministic signals but resembles the realizations of stochastic signals that are ergodic and stationary. An unsupervised learning algorithm is considered. Signals are viewed as deterministic functions, but satisfy a property called time-average invariance. As such, deterministic-based analysis can be applied to stochastic-like signals. Consequently, the complexity of the convergence analysis is significantly reduced.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":248898,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Third IEEE International Workshop on Cellular Neural Networks and their Applications (CNNA-94)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133919230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While conventional analyses have relied on studies of only single cells CNN allows us to think about, manipulate generate and study patterns of activity involving large populations of cells. Thus, CNN promises to unravel some of the important mechanisms by which the retina abstracts and encodes the visual message in space and time.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":248898,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Third IEEE International Workshop on Cellular Neural Networks and their Applications (CNNA-94)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115558396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
