Previous research has shown that Bidirectional Associative Memories (BAM), a special type of artificial neural network, can perform various types of associations that human beings are able to perform with little effort. However, considering a simple association problem, such as associating faces with names, iterative type BAM networks usually take hundreds and sometimes thousands of learning tr...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has led the life sciences into the big data era. Today, sequencing genomes takes little time and cost, but yields terabytes of data to be stored and analyzed. Biologists are often exposed to excessively time consuming and error-prone data management and analysis hurdles. In this paper, we propose a database management system (DBMS) based approach to a...

We investigate computer vision methods to monitor Intensive Care Units (ICU) and assist in sedation delivery and accident prevention. We propose the use of a Bed Aligned Map (BAM) to analyze the patient’s body. We use a depth camera to localize the bed, estimate its surface and divide it into 10 cm× 10 cm cells. Here, the BAM represents the average cell height over the mattress. This depth-base...

0.1 This is a preliminary announcement of a new identification of a frequent ‘opening’ sign in the Indus texts. The sign, depicting a ‘crescent moon’, is identified, through rebus, as representing the ‘outer (city)’ and the ‘others’. I have also added, with some new evidence, two other complementary identifications earlier proposed by me, namely, the ‘(planned) city’ and the ‘inner (city)’ or ‘...

Abstract: The global exponential stability is investigated for a class of reaction-diffusion Cohen-Grossberg-type BAM neural networks with time delays. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functional and using homeomorphism mapping, several sufficient conditions guaranteeing the existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of reaction-diffusion Cohen-Grossberg-type BAM neural networks wi...

In this paper, we discuss parallel implementation of an artificial neural network for pattern d a t i o n , the Bidirectional Associative Memory(BAM). Transputer-based parallel architecture8 like hypercube, mesh and linear array are used to exploit the parallelism in BAM. A comparitive study of utilization and speedup for various architectures is made. Hypercube performs better in terms of util...
