Neural Network Methods for Dynamic Equations on Time Scales (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
by Svetlin GeorgievThis book aims to handle dynamic equations on time scales using artificial neural network (ANN). Basic facts and methods for ANN modeling are considered. The multilayer artificial neural network (ANN) model is introduced for solving of dynamic equations on arbitrary time scales. A multilayer ANN model with one input layer containing a single node, a hidden layer with m nodes, and one output node are investigated. The feed-forward neural network model and unsupervised error back-propagation algorithm are developed. Modification of network parameters is done without the use of any optimization technique. The regression-based neural network (RBNN) model is introduced for solving dynamic equations on arbitrary time scales. The RBNN trial solution of dynamic equations is obtained by using the RBNN model for single input and single output system. A variety of initial and boundary value problems are solved. The Chebyshev neural network (ChNN) model and Levendre neural network model are developed. The ChNN trial solution of dynamic equations is obtained by using the ChNN model for single input and single output system. This book is addressed to a wide audience of specialists such as mathematicians, physicists, engineers, and biologists. It can be used as a textbook at the graduate level and as a reference book for several disciplines.

Neural Network-Based Adaptive Control of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems
by Heidar A. Talebi Farzaneh Abdollahi Kasra EsfandiariThe focus of this book is the application of artificial neural networks in uncertain dynamical systems. It explains how to use neural networks in concert with adaptive techniques for system identification, state estimation, and control problems. The authors begin with a brief historical overview of adaptive control, followed by a review of mathematical preliminaries. In the subsequent chapters, they present several neural network-based control schemes. Each chapter starts with a concise introduction to the problem under study, and a neural network-based control strategy is designed for the simplest case scenario. After these designs are discussed, different practical limitations (i.e., saturation constraints and unavailability of all system states) are gradually added, and other control schemes are developed based on the primary scenario. Through these exercises, the authors present structures that not only provide mathematical tools for navigating control problems, but also supply solutions that are pertinent to real-life systems.

Neural Networks with Model Compression (Computational Intelligence Methods and Applications)
by David Doermann Sheng Xu Baochang Zhang Tiancheng WangDeep learning has achieved impressive results in image classification, computer vision and natural language processing. To achieve better performance, deeper and wider networks have been designed, which increase the demand for computational resources. The number of floating-point operations (FLOPs) has increased dramatically with larger networks, and this has become an obstacle for convolutional neural networks (CNNs) being developed for mobile and embedded devices. In this context, our book will focus on CNN compression and acceleration, which are important for the research community. We will describe numerous methods, including parameter quantization, network pruning, low-rank decomposition and knowledge distillation. More recently, to reduce the burden of handcrafted architecture design, neural architecture search (NAS) has been used to automatically build neural networks by searching over a vast architecture space. Our book will also introduce NAS due to its superiority and state-of-the-art performance in various applications, such as image classification and object detection. We also describe extensive applications of compressed deep models on image classification, speech recognition, object detection and tracking. These topics can help researchers better understand the usefulness and the potential of network compression on practical applications. Moreover, interested readers should have basic knowledge about machine learning and deep learning to better understand the methods described in this book.

Neural Representations of Natural Language (Studies in Computational Intelligence #783)
by Wei Liu Roberto Togneri Lyndon White Mohammed BennamounThis book offers an introduction to modern natural language processing using machine learning, focusing on how neural networks create a machine interpretable representation of the meaning of natural language. Language is crucially linked to ideas – as Webster’s 1923 “English Composition and Literature” puts it: “A sentence is a group of words expressing a complete thought”. Thus the representation of sentences and the words that make them up is vital in advancing artificial intelligence and other “smart” systems currently being developed. Providing an overview of the research in the area, from Bengio et al.’s seminal work on a “Neural Probabilistic Language Model” in 2003, to the latest techniques, this book enables readers to gain an understanding of how the techniques are related and what is best for their purposes. As well as a introduction to neural networks in general and recurrent neural networks in particular, this book details the methods used for representing words, senses of words, and larger structures such as sentences or documents. The book highlights practical implementations and discusses many aspects that are often overlooked or misunderstood. The book includes thorough instruction on challenging areas such as hierarchical softmax and negative sampling, to ensure the reader fully and easily understands the details of how the algorithms function. Combining practical aspects with a more traditional review of the literature, it is directly applicable to a broad readership. It is an invaluable introduction for early graduate students working in natural language processing; a trustworthy guide for industry developers wishing to make use of recent innovations; and a sturdy bridge for researchers already familiar with linguistics or machine learning wishing to understand the other.
