Alopex for handwritten digit recognition: Algorithmic verifications
Title
Alopex for handwritten digit recognition: Algorithmic verifications.
Creator
Martin, Gregory A., Florida Atlantic University, Shankar, Ravi, College of Engineering and Computer Science, Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Abstract/Description
Alopex is a biologically influenced computation paradigm that uses a stochastic procedure to find the global optimum of linear and nonlinear functions. It maps to a hierarchical SIMD (Single-Instruction-Multiple-Data) architecture with simple neuronal processing elements (PE's), therefore the large amount of interconnects in other types of neural networks are not required and more efficient utilization of chip level and board level "real estate" is realized. In this study, verifications were...
Show moreAlopex is a biologically influenced computation paradigm that uses a stochastic procedure to find the global optimum of linear and nonlinear functions. It maps to a hierarchical SIMD (Single-Instruction-Multiple-Data) architecture with simple neuronal processing elements (PE's), therefore the large amount of interconnects in other types of neural networks are not required and more efficient utilization of chip level and board level "real estate" is realized. In this study, verifications were performed on the use of a simplified Alopex algorithm in handwritten digit recognition with the intent that the verified algorithm be digitally implementable. The inputs to the simulated Alopex hardware are a set of 32 features extracted from the input characters. Although the goal of verifying the algorithm was not achieved, a firm direction for future studies has been established and a flexible software model for these future studies is available.

Abstract/Description
Wireless devices in wireless networks are powered typically by small batteries that are not replaceable nor recharged in a convenient way. To prolong the operating lifetime of networks, energy efficiency is indicated as a critical issue and energy-efficient resource allocation designs have been extensively developed.

Show moreWireless devices in wireless networks are powered typically by small batteries that are not replaceable nor recharged in a convenient way. To prolong the operating lifetime of networks, energy efficiency is indicated as a critical issue and energy-efficient resource allocation designs have been extensively developed. We investigated energy-efficient schemes that prolong network operating lifetime in wireless sensor networks and in wireless relay networks. In Chapter 2, the energy-efficient resource allocation that minimizes a general cost function of average user powers for small- or medium-scale wireless sensor networks, where the simple time-division multiple-access (TDMA) is adopted as the multiple access scheme. A class of Ç-fair cost-functions is derived to balance the tradeoff between efficiency and fairness in energy-efficient designs. Based on such cost functions, optimal channel-adaptive resource allocation schemes are developed for both single-hop and multi-hop TDMA sensor networks. In Chapter 3, optimal power control methods to balance the tradeoff between energy efficiency and fairness for wireless cooperative networks are developed. It is important to maximize power efficiency by minimizing power consumption for a given quality of service, such as the data rate; it is also equally important to evenly or fairly distribute power consumption to all nodes to maximize the network life. The optimal power control policy proposed is derived in a quasi-closed form by solving a convex optimization problem with a properly chosen cost-function. To further optimize a wireless relay network performance, an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based multi-user wireless relay network is considered in Chapter 4., In the OFDM approach, each subcarrier is dynamically assigned to a source- destination link, and several relays assist communication between pairs of source-destination over their assigned subcarriers. Using a class of Ç-fair cost-functions to balance the tradeoff between energy efficiency and fairness, jointly with optimal subcarrier and power allocation schemes at the relays. Relevant algorithms are derived in quasi-closed form. Lastly, the proposed energy-efficient schemes are summarized and future work is discussed in Chapter 5.

Abstract/Description
We developed a cross layer design which combines retransmission diversity and multi-user diversity for wireless communication. To this end, a joint design of adaptive modulation and coding with retransmission-based automatic repeat request protocol is outlined. This design is applied to devise multi-user scheduling schemes, which can optimally capture the available multi-user and retransmission diversities.

Show moreWe developed a cross layer design which combines retransmission diversity and multi-user diversity for wireless communication. To this end, a joint design of adaptive modulation and coding with retransmission-based automatic repeat request protocol is outlined. This design is applied to devise multi-user scheduling schemes, which can optimally capture the available multi-user and retransmission diversities. In addition, the proposed on-line scheduling algorithms can operate even when the underl ying fading channel distribution is unknown, while asymptotically converging to the offline benchmark with guarantees on prescribed fairness and rate requirements. Numerical results are provided to verify the merits of our novel schemes for multi-user transmissions over Nakagami block fading channels.
