  • Patent number: 10984314
    Abstract: Described is a system for selecting among intelligence elements of a neural model. An intelligence element is selected from a set of intelligence elements which change group attack probability estimates and processed via multiple operations. A semantic memory component learns group probability distributions and rules based on the group probability distributions. The rules determine which intelligence element related to the groups to select. Given an environment of new probability distributions, the semantic memory component recalls which rule to select to receive a particular intelligence element. An episodic memory component recalls a utility value for each information element A procedural memory component recalls and selects the information element considered to have the highest utility. A list of intelligence elements is published to disambiguate likely attackers.

  • Patent number: 8649576
    Abstract: A method and system comprising: generating at least one slice image by carpeting a multitude of digital images based upon a two-dimensional (2-D) reference system, each of the multitude of digital images associated with a location in the 2-D reference system and each showing a representation of an arborization and/or landmark such that digital images not showing a representation of an arborization and/or landmark are excluded; carpeting the multitude of digital images together to create a slice image; aligning the slice image with other similarly created slice images using landmark information to determine the amount of 2-D rotation and/or translation to be applied to each slice image; vectorizing the representation of the arborization on each slice image, the vectorization creating a series of segments; assigning a type to at least one of the series of segments based on a unique characteristic of arborization; and grouping related segments together.

  • Patent number: 8190422
    Abstract: A semantic cognitive map created by associating each of a multitude of dictionary entries with a point among a multitude of points in a metric space, each of the dictionary entries associated with at least one onym, the at least one onym including at least one synonym or antonym, the metric space having a topology and metrics, the location of each of the multitude of points defined by a global minimum of an energy function of the multitude of points.

  • Patent number: 8090167
    Abstract: A neuronal measurement tool including: an input module, a grouping module, a metric selection module, a statistical test selection module, a raw measurement module, a clustering module and a statistical test module. The input module inputs digitally reconstructed neuronal morphologies. The grouping module groups the digitally reconstructed neuronal morphologies into groups. The metric selection module selects at least one metric of interest. The statistical test selection module selects a statistical test method. The raw measurement module gathers raw measurements associated with the metric(s) of interest on the digitally reconstructed neuronal morphologies. The clustering module clusters the raw measurements into groups and the statistical test module performs the statistical test method between the raw measurements clustered in the groups.

  • Publication number: 20080013815
    Abstract: An arborization reconstructor comprising a slice image generator, a vectorizer, a segment typer, and an arborization grouper. The slice image generator constructs at least two slice images by carpeting digital images based upon a 2-D reference system. Each of the digital images is associated with a location in the 2-D reference system. Each of the slice images has a different z-coordinate and at least one of the digital images shows a representation of at least a part of an arborization. The vectorizer is configured to vectorize at least one representation of an arborization on at least one slice image where the vectorization creating a series of segments. The segment typer assigns a type to segments based on a unique characteristic and the arborization grouper clusters related segments that represent at least one arborization.

  • Patent number: 7174325
    Abstract: Disclosed is a digital neural processor comprising at least one neural processing element. The neural processing elements including at least one simulated dendrite and a simulated axon. Each of the simulated dendrites may include: a dendrite input capable of receiving at least one dendrite input signal and a dendrite signal propagation function capable of calculating a dendrite output signal in discrete time steps from each dendrite input signal. The signal propagation function may further include a delay parameter; a duration parameter; and an amplitude parameter. The simulated axon includes an axon input capable of receiving dendrite output signals, an axon function, capable of calculating an axon output signal from dendrite output signal(s) and an axon output capable of outputting the axon output signal.
