'Wolfgang Maass'] Hyperparameters and learning algorithms for neuromorphic hardware are usually chosen by hand to suit a particular task. In contrast, networks of neurons in the brain were optimized through extensive evolutionary and developmental processes to work well on a range of computing and learning tasks.…

In the present day, there are many diseases which need to be identified at their early stages to start relevant treatments. If not, they could be uncurable and deadly. Due to this reason, there is a need of analysing complex medical data, medical reports, and medical images at a lesser time but with greater accuracy.…

The importance of the decision support systems is increasingly supporting the decision making process in cases of uncertainty and the lack of information and they are widely used in various fields like engineering, finance, medicine, and so forth, Medical decision support systems help the healthcare personnel to select…

Diverse learning algorithms, optimization methods, and natural selection share a common mathematical structure despite their apparent differences. Here, I show that a simple notational partitioning of change by the Price equation reveals a universal force-metric-bias (FMB) law: $Δθ=(Mf+b+ξ)$. The force $f$ drives…

For a given distribution, learning algorithm, and performance metric, the rate of convergence (or datascaling law) is the asymptotic behavior of the algorithm's test performance as a function of number of train samples. Many learning methods in both theory and practice have power-law rates, i.e. performance scales as n…

Researchers and educators have long wrestled with the question of how best to teach their clients be they human, animal or machine. Here we focus on the role of a single variable, the difficulty of training, and examine its effect on the rate of learning. In many situations we find that there is a sweet spot in which…

This work describes simple and efficient algorithms for interactively learning non-binary concepts in the learning from random counter-examples (LRC) model. Here, learning takes place from random counter-examples that the learner receives in response to their proper equivalence queries. In this context, the learning…

The spatiotemporal learning rule (STLR) proposed based on hippocampal neurophysiological experiments is essentially different from the Hebbian learning rule (HEBLR) in terms of the self-organization mechanism. The difference is the self-organization of information from the external world by firing (HEBLR) or not firing…

Based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, we have proposed a novel machine learning algorithm that combines factors of the environment and its own needs to make decisions for different states of an agent. This means it can be applied to the gait generation of a quadruped robot, which needs to make demand decisions.…

Machine olfaction—the artificial replication of the sense of smell—faces significant challenges due to the absence of large, standardized training datasets. Unlike vision, language, and audio models, which benefit from extensive corpora such as ImageNet, GLUE, and AudioSet, olfaction lacks scaled equivalents and…

In [1], we introduced mechanical learning and proposed 2 approaches to mechanical learning. Here, we follow one such approach to well describe the objects and the processes of learning. We discuss 2 kinds of patterns: objective and subjective pattern. Subjective pattern is crucial for learning machine. We prove that…

Machine Learning (ML) can be defined as a class of Artificial Intelligence for automated data analysis, which is capable of detecting patterns in data. The extracted patterns can be used to predict un-known data or to assist in decision-making processes under uncertainty. Recent advances in experimental and…

The ability to learn from past experience is an important adaptation, but how natural selection shapes learning is not well understood. Here, we present a novel way of modelling learning using small neural networks and a simple, biology-inspired learning algorithm. Learning affects only part of the network, and it is…

Algorithms have been fundamental to recent global technological advances and, in particular, they have been the cornerstone of technical advances in one field rapidly being applied to another. We argue that algorithms possess fundamentally different qualities to deep learning methods, and this strongly suggests that…

A key feature of intelligent behaviour is the ability to learn abstract strategies that scale and transfer to unfamiliar problems. An abstract strategy solves every sample from a problem class, no matter its representation or complexity – like algorithms in computer science. Neural networks are powerful models for…

Artificial intelligence recently had a great advancements caused by the emergence of new processing power and machine learning methods. Having said that, the learning capability of artificial intelligence is still at its infancy comparing to the learning capability of human and many animals. Many of the current…

Drinking water is essential to public health and socioeconomic growth. Therefore, assessing and ensuring drinking water supply is a critical task in modern society. Conventional approaches to analyzing and controlling drinking water quality are labor-intensive and costly with a low throughput. Machine learning (ML) is…

Over the last decade, artificial neural networks (ANNs), have undergone a revolution, catalyzed in large part by better tools for supervised learning. However, training such networks requires enormous data sets of labeled examples, whereas young animals (including humans) typically learn with few or no labeled…

Problem-solving and reasoning involve mental exploration and navigation in sparse relational spaces. A physical analogue is spatial navigation in structured environments such as a network of burrows. Recent experiments with mice navigating a labyrinth show a sharp discontinuity during learning, corresponding to a…

Natural brains perform miraculously well in learning new tasks from a small number of samples, whereas sample efficient learning is still a major open problem in the field of machine learning. Here, we raise the question, how the neural coding scheme affects sample efficiency, and make first progress on this question…

Identifying the learning rules that govern behavior is a central problem in neuroscience. While reinforcement learning (RL) offers a unifying theoretical framework, most empirical studies of animal learning behavior have focused on non-stationary environments (e.g. changing reward probabilities in a known task), as…

Humans and animals are able to learn complex behaviors based on a massive stream of sensory information from different modalities. Early animal studies have identified learning mechanisms that are based on reward and punishment such that animals tend to avoid actions that lead to punishment whereas rewarded actions are…

The integration of machine learning methods is transforming many areas of research by, for instance, accelerating molecular dynamics simulations and enabling improved prediction and optimization of chemical reactions. However, despite this progress, the adoption of data-driven approaches in atomic layer deposition…

We critically review three major theories of machine learning and provide a new theory according to which machines learn a function when the machines successfully compute it. We show that this theory challenges common assumptions in the statistical and the computational learning theories, for it implies that learning…

Learning to adjust to changing environments is an important aspect of behavioral flexibility. Here we investigate the possible advantages of flexible learning rates in volatile environments, using learning simulations. We compare two established learning mechanisms, one with fixed learning rates and one with flexible…

Although learning from data is effective and has achieved significant milestones, it has many challenges and limitations. Learning from data starts from observations and then proceeds to broader generalizations. This framework is controversial in science, yet it has achieved remarkable engineering successes. This paper…

By combining machine learning with design of experiments, so-called active machine learning, more efficient and cheaper research can be conducted. Machine learning algorithms are more flexible, and are better at investigating the processes spanning all length scales of chemical engineering. While the active machine…
