چکیده

Transport networks are ubiquitous in both social and biological systems. Robust network performance involves a complex trade-off involving cost, transport efficiency, and fault tolerance. Biological networks have been honed by many cycles of evolutionary selection pressure and are likely to yield reasonable solutions to such combinatorial optimization problems. Furthermore, they develop without centralized control and may represent a readily scalable solution for growing networks in general. We show that the slime mold Physarum polycephalum forms networks with comparable efficiency, fault tolerance, and cost to those of real-world infrastructure networks--in this case, the Tokyo rail system. The core mechanisms needed for adaptive network formation can be captured in a biologically inspired mathematical model that may be useful to guide network construction in other domains.

A Novel Classification Method Using Self-Regulatory Feedback

A network is described that performs classification based on self-regulatory feedback. Structurally it contrasts with current classifier methods by not requiring parameterized connection weights or lateral inhibition. Thus is it different from other biologically inspired networks such as: Neural Networks, Adaptive Resonance Networks.
