This document discusses different types of artificial neural network topologies. It describes feedforward neural networks, including single layer and multilayer feedforward networks. It also describes recurrent neural networks, which differ from feedforward networks in having at least one feedback loop. Single layer networks have an input and output layer, while multilayer networks have one or more hidden layers between the input and output layers. Recurrent networks can learn temporal patterns due to their internal memory capabilities.

- 3. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) An artificial neural network is defined as a data processing system consisting of a large number of simple highly interconnected processing elements (artificial neurons) in an architecture inspired by the structure of the cerebral cortex of the brain. ( Tsoukalas and Uhring, 1997)
- 4. Neural Network Architectures Generally , an ANN structure can be represented using a directed graph. A graph G is an ordered 2-tuple (V, E) consisting of a set V of vertices and a set E of edge. When each edge is assigned an orientation , the graph is directed and is called a directed graph or digraph. There are several classes of NN. Classified according to their learning mechanisms. However we identify 3 fundamentally different classes of Networks. Single layer feedforward network Multilayer feedforward network Recurrent network All the three classes employ the digraph structure for their representation.
- 5. Feed-forward neural networks These are the commonest type of neural network in practical applications. The first layer is the input and the last layer is the output. If there is more than one hidden layer, we call them “deep” neural networks. They compute a series of transformations that change the similarities between cases.
- 6. Single Layer Feedforward Network This type of network comprises of two layers , namely the input layer and the output layer. The input layer neurons receive the input signals and the output layer neurons receive the output signals. The synaptic links carrying the weights connect every input neuron to the output neuron but not vise – versa. Such a network is said to be feedforward in type or acyclic in nature. Despite the two layers , the network is termed single layer since it is the output layer , alone which performs computation. The input layer merely transmits the signals to the output layer. Hence the name single layer feedforward network.

- 8. Multilayer Feedforward Network This network, as its name indicates is made up of multiple layers. Architecture of this class besides possessing an input and output layer also have one or more intermediary layers called hidden layers. The computational units of the hidden layer are known as hidden neurons or hidden units. The hidden layer aids in performing useful intermediary computation before directing the input to the output layer. The input layer neurons are linked to the hidden layer neurons and the weights on these links are referred to as input hidden layer weights. Again , the hidden layer neurons are linked to the output layer neurons and the corresponding weights are referred to as hidden-output layer weights.

- 10. Multilayer Feedforward Network(con’t) • Applications: Pattern classification Pattern matching Function approximation any nonlinear mapping is possible with nonlinear Processing Elements
- 11. Multi-layer Networks: Issues How many layers are sufficient? How many Processing Elementss needed in (each) hidden layer? How much data needed for training?
- 12. Examples of Multi-layer NNs Backpropagation Neocognitron Probabilistic NN (radial basis function NN) Cauchy machine Radial basis function networks
- 13. Recurrent Network These networks differ from feedforward architecture in the sense that there is atleast one feedback loop. Not necessarily stable Symmetric connections can ensure stability Why use recurrent networks? Can learn temporal patterns (time series or oscillations) Biologically realistic Majority of connections to neurons in cerebral cortex are feedback connections from local or distant neurons Examples Hopfield network Boltzmann machine (Hopfield-like net with input & output units) Recurrent backpropagation networks: for small sequences, unfold network in time dimension and use backpropagation learning
- 14. Recurrent Networks (con’t) Example Elman networks Partially recurrent Context units keep internal memory of part inputs Fixed context weights Backpropagation for learning E.g. Can disambiguate ABC and CBA Elman network
- 15. Recurrent Network(con’t) Advantages Unlike feedforward neural networks, RNNs can use their internal memory to process arbitrary sequences of inputs. This makes them applicable to tasks such as unsegmented connected handwriting recognition or speech recognition. They have the ability to remember information in their hidden state for a long time. But its very hard to train them to use this potential. Disadvantages Most RNNs used to have scaling issues. RNNs could not be easily trained for large numbers of neuron units nor for large numbers of inputs units
