Topological exploration of artificial neuronal network dynamics

Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Gard Spreemann

One of the paramount challenges in neuroscience is to understand the dynamics of individual neurons and how they give rise to network dynamics when interconnected. Historically, researchers have resorted to graph theory, statistics, and statistical mechani ...

Deep learning on graph for semantic segmentation of point cloud

Alexandre Thierry Robert Cherqui

This master thesis provides in-depth explanations of how deep learning and graph theory can be used together to perform pointwise classification in 3D point clouds obtained by combinations of geospatial images. That scene understanding problem arises in a ...

Learning embeddings: efficient algorithms and applications

Cijo Jose

Learning to embed data into a space where similar points are together and dissimilar points are far apart is a challenging machine learning problem. In this dissertation we study two learning scenarios that arise in the context of learning embeddings and o ...

Theory and Algorithms for Hypothesis Transfer Learning

Ilja Kuzborskij

The design and analysis of machine learning algorithms typically considers the problem of learning on a single task, and the nature of learning in such scenario is well explored. On the other hand, very often tasks faced by machine learning systems arrive ...

Predicting non-linear dynamics by stable local learning in a recurrent spiking neural network

Wulfram Gerstner, Aditya Gilra

The brain needs to predict how the body reacts to motor commands, but how a network of spiking neurons can learn non-linear body dynamics using local, online and stable learning rules is unclear. Here, we present a supervised learning scheme for the feedfo ...

Unsupervised Learning of Phase-Change-Based Neuromorphic Systems

Stanislaw Andrzej Wozniak

Neuromorphic systems provide brain-inspired methods of computing. In a neuromorphic architecture, inputs are processed by a network of neurons receiving operands through synaptic interconnections, tuned in the process of learning. Neurons act simultaneousl ...

Brief Announcement: Byzantine-Tolerant Machine Learning

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Julien Michel Stainer, Peva François Blanchard

We report on \emph{Krum}, the first \emph{provably} Byzantine-tolerant aggregation rule for distributed Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD). Krum guarantees the convergence of SGD even in a distributed setting where (asymptotically) up to half of the workers ...

Theory of representation learning in cortical neural networks

Carlos Stein Naves de Brito

Our brain continuously self-organizes to construct and maintain an internal representation of the world based on the information arriving through sensory stimuli. Remarkably, cortical areas related to different sensory modalities appear to share the same f ...

When Neurons Fail - Technical Report

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi

Neural networks have been traditionally considered robust in the sense that their precision degrades gracefully with the failure of neurons and can be compensated by additional learning phases. Nevertheless, critical applications for which neural networks ...

Learning by weakly-connected adaptive agents

Ali H. Sayed, Bicheng Ying

In this paper, we examine the learning mechanism of adaptive agents over weakly-connected graphs and reveal an interesting behavior on how information flows through such topologies. The results clarify how asymmetries in the exchange of data can mask local ...
