- This thesis studies the introduction of a priori structure into the design of learning systems based on artificial neural networks applied to sequence recognition, in particular to phoneme recognition in continuous speech. Because we are interested in sequence analysis, algorithms for training recurrent networks are studied and an original algorithm for constrained recurrent networks is proposed and test results are reported. We also discuss the integration of connectionist models with other analysis tools that have been shown to be useful for sequences, such as dynamic programming and hidden Markov models. We introduce an original algorithm to perform global optimization of a neural network/hidden Markov model hybrid, and show how to perform such a global optimization on all the parameters of the system. Finally, we consider some alternatives to sigmoid networks: Radial Basis Functions, and a method for searching for better learning rules using a priori knowledge and optimization algorithms.

3.1 Neural Network Formulation. We can represent a neural network with L layers as the composition of L functions fi ∶ Ei × Hi → Ei+1, where Ei; Hi; and Ei+1 are inner product spaces for all i ∈ [L]. We will refer to variables xi ∈ Ei as state variables, and variables i ∈ Hi as parameters.
The thesis also covers the practical applications of artificial neural network technology and how it is used in different fields of industry. Positive and negative properties of artificial neural networks and how they should be developed in the future will be observed. For this thesis a lot of research material from different research areas was ...
Training Recurrent Neural Networks Ilya Sutskever Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2013 Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are powerful sequence models that were believed to be difficult to train, and as a result they were rarely used in machine learning applications. This thesis presents methods

The new model family introduced in this thesis is summarized under the term Recursive Deep Learning. The models in this family are variations and extensions of unsupervised and supervised recursive neural networks (RNNs) which generalize deep and feature learning ideas to hierarchical structures.

Therefore, several directions for explaining neural models have recently been explored. In this thesis, I investigate two major directions for explaining deep neural networks. The first direction consists of feature-based post-hoc explanatory methods, that is, methods that aim to explain an already trained and fixed model (post-hoc), and that ...

While training of neural networks is computationally expensive, prediction is fast and can be performed online favoring real-time processing. Applying CNNs to FACT data has to meet three main challenges: The high dimensional-
Chapter 2 of this thesis will present a literature review about the convolutional neural network. I shall present some techniques that increase the accuracy for Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). To test system performance, the Modified NIST or MNIST dataset demonstrated in [1] was chosen.

In this thesis, we explore multiple approaches to graph classification. We focus on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), which emerged as a de facto standard deep learning technique for graph represen-tation learning. Classical approaches, such as graph descriptors and molecular fingerprints, are also addressed.
This thesis proposes a novel approach to fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) that is focused on artificial neural network (ANN). Unlike traditional methods for FDD, neural networks can take advantage of large amounts of complex process data and extract core features to help detect and diagnose faults. In the first part of this work, a hybrid model

In this thesis spiking neural networks with different spike encodings and LIF neuron models are evaluated for the SignFi and MNIST datasets. We also compare the performance of spiking neural networks to the performance of convolutional neural net-works. The conclusion is that, under certain conditions, it is feasible to use spiking neural
The aim of this thesis is to advance the state-of-the-art in supervised sequence labelling with recurrent networks in general, and long short-term memory in particular. Its two main contributions are (1) a new type of output layer that allows recurrent networks to be trained directly for sequence labelling tasks where the align-
This thesis consists of four parts. Each part also studies one aspect of the theoretical landscape of learning: the representation power, generalization, extrapolation, and optimization. In Part I, we characterize the expressive power of graph neural networks for representing graphs, and build maximally powerful graph neural networks.

ow of an LSTM network is a chain-like structure which is almost identical with a standard RNN. In addition to the hidden state, each LSTM unit has a cell state to store memory. The gate in LSTM is a component that selectively passes information to an LSTM cell state. A gate consists of a neural network layer with Sigmoid as the activation function
