System and Method for Spontaneous Machine Learning and Feature Extraction

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide an artificial neural network system for improved machine learning, 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 spontaneously 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 output of the second spiking neural network is transmitted to a computing device, such as a CPU for post processing.

looks like we now have 3 approved patents awaiting finalisation of a grant



thats now 6 granted out 9 of our patent applications


if patents being granted are a catalyst for action then we can hopefully be expecting some excitement soon
