Safe Deep Neural Networks

The capabilities of deep learning systems have advanced much faster than our ability to understand them. Whilst the gains from deep neural networks (DNNs) are significant, they are accompanied by a growing risk and gravity of a bad outcome. This is troubli ...

Task-driven neural network models predict neural dynamics of proprioception: Neural network model weights

Alexander Mathis, Alberto Silvio Chiappa, Alessandro Marin Vargas, Axel Bisi

Proprioception tells the brain the state of the body based on distributed sensors in the body. However, the principles that govern proprioceptive processing from those distributed sensors are poorly understood. Here, we employ a task-driven neural network ...

On the number of regions of piecewise linear neural networks

Michaël Unser, Alexis Marie Frederic Goujon

Many feedforward neural networks (NNs) generate continuous and piecewise-linear (CPWL) mappings. Specifically, they partition the input domain into regions on which the mapping is affine. The number of these so-called linear regions offers a natural metric ...

Reduced Training Data for Laser Ultrasound Signal Interpretation by Neural Networks

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Janez Rus

The performance of machine learning algorithms is conditioned by the availability of training datasets, which is especially true for the field of nondestructive evaluation. Here we propose one reconfigurable specimen instead of numerous reference specimens ...
