Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an artificial neural network system for feature pattern extraction and output labeling. The system comprises a first spiking neural network and a second spiking neural network. The first spiking neural network is configured to autonomously learn complex, temporally overlapping features arising in an input pattern stream. Competitive learning is implemented as spike timing dependent plasticity with lateral inhibition in the first spiking neural network. The second spiking neural network is connected with the first spiking neural network through dynamic synapses, and is trained to interpret and label the output data of the first spiking neural network. Additionally, the labeled output of the second spiking neural network is transmitted to a computing device, such as a central processing unit for post processing.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for controlling a device by recognizing voice commands through a spiking neural network. The system comprises a spiking neural adaptive processor receiving an input stream that is being forwarded from a microphone, a decimation filter and then an artificial cochlea. The spiking neural adaptive processor further comprises a first spiking neural network and a second spiking neural network. The first spiking neural network checks for voice activities in output spikes received from artificial cochlea. If any voice activity is detected, it activates the second spiking neural network and passes the output spike of the artificial cochlea to the second spiking neural network that is further configured to recognize spike patterns indicative of specific voice commands. If the first spiking neural network does not detect any voice activity, it halts the second spiking neural network.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a hierarchical arrangement of one or more artificial neural networks for recognizing visual feature pattern extraction and output labeling. The system comprises a first spiking neural network and a second spiking neural network. The first spiking neural network is configured to autonomously learn complex, temporally overlapping visual features arising in an input pattern stream. Competitive learning is implemented as spike time dependent plasticity with lateral inhibition in the first spiking neural network. The second spiking neural network is connected by means of dynamic synapses with the first spiking neural network, and is trained for interpreting and labeling output data of the first spiking neural network. Additionally, the output of the second spiking neural network is transmitted to a computing device, such as a CPU for post processing.
