Book 21

The first truly up-to-date look at the theory and capabilities of nonlinear dynamical systems that take the form of feedforward neural network structures Considered one of the most important types of structures in the study of neural networks and neural-like networks, feedforward networks incorporating dynamical elements have important properties and are of use in many applications. Specializing in experiential knowledge, a neural network stores and expands its knowledge base via strikingly human routes-through a learning process and information storage involving interconnection strengths known as synaptic weights. In Nonlinear Dynamical Systems: Feedforward Neural Network Perspectives, six leading authorities describe recent contributions to the development of an analytical basis for the understanding and use of nonlinear dynamical systems of the feedforward type, especially in the areas of control, signal processing, and time series analysis.
Moving from an introductory discussion of the different aspects of feedforward neural networks, the book then addresses: Classification problems and the related problem of approximating dynamic nonlinear input-output maps The development of robust controllers and filters The capability of neural networks to approximate functions and dynamic systems with respect to risk-sensitive error Segmenting a time series It then sheds light on the application of feedforward neural networks to speech processing, summarizing speech-related techniques, and reviewing feedforward neural networks from the viewpoint of fundamental design issues. An up-to-date and authoritative look at the ever-widening technical boundaries and influence of neural networks in dynamical systems, this volume is an indispensable resource for researchers in neural networks and a reference staple for libraries.

State-of-the-art coverage of Kalman filter methods for the design of neural networks This self-contained book consists of seven chapters by expert contributors that discuss Kalman filtering as applied to the training and use of neural networks. Although the traditional approach to the subject is almost always linear, this book recognizes and deals with the fact that real problems are most often nonlinear. The first chapter offers an introductory treatment of Kalman filters with an emphasis on basic Kalman filter theory, Rauch-Tung-Striebel smoother, and the extended Kalman filter.
Other chapters cover:* An algorithm for the training of feedforward and recurrent multilayered perceptrons, based on the decoupled extended Kalman filter (DEKF)* Applications of the DEKF learning algorithm to the study of image sequences and the dynamic reconstruction of chaotic processes* The dual estimation problem* Stochastic nonlinear dynamics: the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm and the extended Kalman smoothing (EKS) algorithm* The unscented Kalman filter Each chapter, with the exception of the introduction, includes illustrative applications of the learning algorithms described here, some of which involve the use of simulated and real-life data. Kalman Filtering and Neural Networks serves as an expert resource for researchers in neural networks and nonlinear dynamical systems. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available upon request from the Wiley Makerting Department.

A comprehensive treatment of cognitive radio networks and the specialized techniques used to improve wireless communications The human brain, as exemplified by cognitive radar, cognitive radio, and cognitive computing, inspires the field of Cognitive Dynamic Systems. In particular, cognitive radio is growing at an exponential rate. Fundamentals of Cognitive Radio details different aspects of the human brain and provides examples of how it can be mimicked by cognitive dynamic systems. The text offers a communication-theoretic background, including information on resource allocation in wireless networks and the concept of robustness. The authors provide a thorough mathematical background with data on game theory, variational inequalities, and projected dynamic systems. They then delve more deeply into resource allocation in cognitive radio networks. The text investigates the dynamics of cognitive radio networks from the perspectives of information theory, optimization, and control theory. It also provides a vision for the new world of wireless communications by integration of cellular and cognitive radio networks.
This groundbreaking book: * Shows how wireless communication systems increasingly use cognition to enhance their networks * Explores how cognitive radio networks can be viewed as spectrum supply chain networks * Derives analytic models for two complementary regimes for spectrum sharing (open-access and market-driven) to study both equilibrium and disequilibrium behaviors of networks * Studies cognitive heterogeneous networks with emphasis on economic provisioning for resource sharing * Introduces a framework that addresses the issue of spectrum sharing across licensed and unlicensed bands aimed for Pareto optimality Written for students of cognition, communication engineers, telecommunications professionals, and others, Fundamentals of Cognitive Radio offers a new generation of ideas and provides a fresh way of thinking about cognitive techniques in order to improve radio networks.

This book provides insights into developing better algorithms for machine learning, artificial intelligence and signal processing. The authors build mainly on two topics: Cognitive Dynamic Systems (CDS), which is a well-established paradigm originated in the Cognitive Systems Lab of McMaster University, and attention, an essential cognitive function the neurobiological root of which is assumed to be the reentry of neuronal firings through feedback connections. This book focuses completely on the perceptual part of a CDS, or in short, the "perceptor", which is the part responsible for visualizing the environment. In this regard, inspired by the mammalian brain, an important step has been taken to redesign the perceptor and therefore improve its functionality in light of "attention", a function that is essential to cognition. The authors demonstrate how the end result is an improved performance for the perceptor in the face of uncertainties and better separation of relevant information from irrelevant information.


Cognitive Networks

by Simon Haykin

Published 24 April 2015
Cognitive systems are modeled after the highly complex, integrated network that is the human brain. Haykin describes the fundamental issues pertaining to performance characterizations of complex dynamic systems, including perceptual attention, controlled attention, working memory, and decisionmaking based on big data.
The book presents the cognitive network as a system of systems. The primary examples of cognitive networks presented are cognitive radar networks and cognitive radio networks (both open-access and market-driven). The book is supported by seven appendices covering, among others, probability theory, Bayesian inference, the method of stochastic gradients, and Fisher information, all of which are applicable to multiple sections in the book.
