A lower bound for algebraic connectivity based on the connection-graph-stability method

Martin Hasler, Ali Ajdari Rad, Mahdi Jalili

This paper introduces the connection-graph-stability method and uses it to establish a new lower bound on the algebraic connectivity of graphs (the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of the graph) that is sharper than the previously publish ...

Reservoir optimization in recurrent neural networks using properties of Kronecker product

Martin Hasler, Ali Ajdari Rad, Mahdi Jalili

Recurrent neural networks based on reservoir computing are increasingly being used in many applications. Optimization of the topological structure of the reservoir and the internal connection weights for a given task is one of the most important problems i ...

Topography of EEG multivariate phase synchronization in early Alzheimer's disease

Martin Hasler, Reto Meuli, Mahdi Jalili

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is likely to disrupt the synchronization of the bioelectrical processes in the distributed cortical networks underlying cognition. We analyze the surface topography of the multivariate phase synchronization (MPS) of multichannel EE ...

Attenuated asymmetry of functional connectivity in schizophrenia: A high-resolution EEG study

Martin Hasler, Mahdi Jalili, Kim Do, Reto Meuli

The interhemispheric asymmetries that originate from connectivity-related structuring of the cortex are compromised in schizophrenia (SZ). Under the assumption that such abnormalities affect functional connectivity, we analyzed its correlate-EEG synchroniz ...

Multiple task learning in recurrent neural networks using layered reservoirs

Martin Hasler, Ali Ajdari Rad, Mahdi Jalili

In this paper, to learn multiple tasks sharing same inputs, a two-layer architecture for a reservoir based recurrent neural network is proposed. The inputs are fed into the general workspace layer where the weights are adapted to provide maximum informatio ...

Synchronizability of dynamical networks: different measures and coincidence

Ali Ajdari Rad, Mahdi Jalili

In this paper, we list four different interpretations of synchronizability, study their profile in different network structures and give evidence that they do not coincide, in general. By changing the network topological properties, their behavior is track ...

Comment on Rewiring networks for synchronization

Ali Ajdari Rad, Mahdi Jalili

This is a comment on a recent paper by A. Hagberg and D. A. Schult [Chaos 18, 037105 (2008)]. By taking the eigenratio of the Laplacian of an undirected and unweighted network as its synchronizability measure, they proposed a greedy rewiring algorithm for ...

Reservoir Optimization in Recurrent Neural Networks using Kronecker Kernels

Martin Hasler, Ali Ajdari Rad, Mahdi Jalili

In this paper, using the mathematical properties of self-kronecker-production of small size random matrices, a simple but effective method is presented to optimize the reservoir of an echo state network given a certain task. The experimental results invest ...
