Neural network model of heteroassociative memory for the classification task

Abstract

The subject of study in this article is the features of structural organization and functioning of the improved Hamming network as a model of neural network heteroassociative memory for classification by discriminant functions. The goal is to improve the neural network classifier based on the Hamming network, which implements the criterion of maximum similarity using discriminant functions and does not have restrictions on the representation of input data (not only binary data). The tasks: analyze the capabilities of associative memory models using neural networks as an example; analyze the features of classification on the principles of discriminant analysis; develop the structure of a neural network classifier as a model of neural network heteroassociative memory; perform simulation modeling of the classification process on the example of medical diagnosis. The methods used are a mathematical model of the functioning of a neural network as a classifier, and simulation in C#. The following results have been obtained: the structure of the neural network classifier has been improved through the formation connection matrix of a hidden layer from pre-calculated coefficients of linear discriminant functions, and the connection matrix of the output layer in the form symmetrical matrix with zeros on the main diagonal. This allows not only to simplify m connections, where m is the number of classes, in the structure of the output layer of the neural network classifier, but also to speed up the classification process, as well as to implement classification by the maximum of discriminant functions. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the results obtained is as follows: the neural network classification method has been improved using pre-calculated elements of the connection matrices in the hidden and output layers of the classifier, which does not imply a long process of direct neural network learning with using discriminant functions; the structural organization of a neural network classifier is proposed, which is an improvement of the Hamming network as a model of heteroassociative memory, that allows using this classifier in a decision support system for medical diagnosis; the removal of positive feedback in neurons of the competitive (output) layer is implemented, which allows not only simplifies the structure of the neural network classifier but also speeds up the classification process almost 2 times, which is confirmed by the simulation results.

Breast tumor prediction and feature importance score finding using machine learning algorithms

“…Another potential avenue for boosting model performance is to leverage deep learning techniques, specifically tumor image segmentation. This involves the use of advanced algorithms, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) [21,22], to identify and isolate tumor regions within medical images. By exploring this approach, we have the opportunity to enhance the accuracy and precision of tumor detection and characterization, which can greatly impact cancer diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient monitoring.…”

Method of QoS evaluation of FPGA as a service

“…These steps also include the process of increasing the frequency of system clocking by optimizing the design itself inside the accelerator. This is important for implementation of resource-intensive AI applications based on different kinds of neural networks [16,17].…”

“…Тому в цьому випадку доцільно застосувати сортувальник з формуванням рангів, що дозволить прискорити вибір за відповідним рангом значення для центрального пікселя [9]. Під час виконання нейромережної класифікації об'єктів важливою є процедура реалізації механізму конкуренції вигляду «1 з N» [25], оскільки необхідно визначити максимальне числове значення, наприклад, для дискримінантної функції та її місцезнаходження [26]. В цьому випадку можливим є використання сортувальника, а не тільки відомих нейромереж типу MAXNET.…”
