Distributed fault tolerance in optimal interpolative nets
نویسنده
چکیده
The recursive training algorithm for the optimal interpolative (OI) classification network is extended to include distributed fault tolerance. The conventional OI Net learning algorithm leads to network weights that are nonoptimally distributed (in the sense of fault tolerance). Fault tolerance is becoming an increasingly important factor in hardware implementations of neural networks. But fault tolerance is often taken for granted in neural networks rather than being explicitly accounted for in the architecture or learning algorithm. In addition, when fault tolerance is considered, it is often accounted for using an unrealistic fault model (e.g., neurons that are stuck on or off rather than small weight perturbations). Realistic fault tolerance can be achieved through a smooth distribution of weights, resulting in low weight salience and distributed computation. Results of trained OI Nets on the Iris classification problem show that fault tolerance can be increased with the algorithm presented in this paper.

Fault-tolerant training for optimal interpolative nets
The optimal interpolative (OI) classification network is extended to include fault tolerance and make the network more robust to the loss of a neuron. The OI net has the characteristic that the training data are fit with no more neurons than necessary. Fault tolerance further reduces the number of neurons generated during the learning procedure while maintaining the generalization capabilities ...
متن کاملFault Tolerance Analysis for Dependable Autonomous Agents using Colored Time Petri Nets
Fault tolerance has become more and more important in the development of autonomous systems with the aim to help the system to recover its normal activities even when some failures happen. Yet, one of the concerns is how to analyze the reliability of a fault tolerance mechanism with regards to the collaboration of multiple agents to complete a complicated task. To do so, an approach of fault to...

In this paper we present a Petri-net-based approach to consider fault tolerance aspects in a modiied control track vehicle system. The proposed approach is based on Fuzzy Time G-Nets which is the integration of two Petri Nets extensions: Fuzzy Time Petri Net (timing Petri net extension) and G-Nets (Petri net extended with object oriented concepts). We also show how to model such system by means...
