Artificial Intelligence
Synaptic plasticity modeling may have another boost forward with a recent paper proposal from two Eastern researchers. In “Bottleneck of using single memristor as a synapse and its solution”, researchers Farnood Merrikh-Bayat and Saeed Bagheri Shouraki have stated they were able to more closely model a Hebbian synaptic plasticity model by demonstrating the phenomena under [...]
A lot of discussions over the latest memristor platform model to attempt the “Cats Brain” artificial intelligence (read: machine learning, pattern recognition, synaptic modeling) are full of wonder and hype [ex: bb], but the actual algorithmic synaptic simulator program the memristor cat brain study is based on actually goes back quite a ways. Last [...]
New research into the “memristor brain” (via the cat brain), (another name for modeling machine learning and pattern recognition on neuronal synapse architectures), will appear in this months NL journal (Journal of Nano Letters). University of Michigan researcher Wei Lu (giving an upcoming talk titled “Si Memristive Devices Applied to Memory and Neuromorphic Circuits” [...]
The mathematical modeling of memristors have started its bleedthru into other fields: arXiv.org is reporting in the Quantitative Biology & Cell Behavior a new paper titled Memristive model of amoeba’s learning, by authors Yuriy V. Pershin, Steven La Fontaine, and Massimiliano Di Ventra. Neural nets have been around a long time, even though seemingly [...]
The well known Loebner Turing Test Prize contest for artificial intelligence is waiting for the selection of a winner as it wrapped up its 2008 contest with six finalists for the preliminary phase: Elbot [Fred Roberts], Eugene Goostman [Vladimir Veselov], Brother Jerome [Peter Cole & Benji Adams], Jabberwacky [Rollo Carpenter], Alice [Richard Wallace], and [...]
From the newsdesk: Scientists working on localizing memory in brain cells have observed brain cells in the act of summoning a memory. FTA:
The researchers were even able to identify specific memories in subjects a second or two before the people themselves reported having them.
While these are single-cell recordings, and as such cannot provide much more [...]
