Abstract
Systems and methods for system identification, encoding and decoding signals in a non-linear system are disclosed. An exemplary method can include receiving the one or more input signals and performing dendritic processing on the input signals. The method can also encode the output of the dendritic processing of the input signals, at a neuron, to provide encoded signals.
Claims20
A method of encoding one or more input signals in a non-linear system, comprising:
- receiving the one or more input signals;
- performing non-linear dendritic processing on the one or more signals to provide a first output;
- providing the first output to one or more neurons;
- and
- encoding the first output, at the one or more neurons, to provide one or more encoded signals.
A method of decoding one or more encoded signals in a non-linear system, comprising:
- receiving the one or more encoded signals;
- performing convex optimization on the one or more encoded signals to produce a coefficient;
- and
- constructing one or more output signals using the coefficient.
A method of identifying a projection of an unknown dendritic processor in a non-linear system, comprising:
- receiving a known input signal;
- processing the known input signal using a projection of the unknown dendritic processor to produce a first output;
- encoding the first output, using a neuron, to produce an output signal;
- and
- comparing the known input signal and the output signal to identify the projection of the unknown dendritic processor.
A system for encoding one or more input signals, comprising:
- a first computing device having a processor and a memory thereon for the storage of executable instructions and data, wherein the instructions are executed to:
- receiving the one or more input signals;
- performing dendritic processing on the one or more signals to provide a first output;
- providing the first output to one or more neurons;
- and
- encoding the first output, at the one or more neurons, to provide one or more encoded signals.
