Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations
Engineering neural networks to perform specific tasks often represents a monumental challenge in determining network architecture and parameter values. In this work, we extend our previously-developed method for tuning networks of non-spiking neurons, the “Functional subnetwork approach” (FSA), to the tuning of networks composed of spiking neurons. This extension enables the direct assembly and tuning of networks of spiking neurons and synapses based on the network’s intended function, without the use of global optimization ormachine learning. To extend the FSA, we show that the dynamics of a generalized linear integrate and fire (GLIF) neuronmodel have fundamental similarities to those of …

Undergraduate Research & Mentoring Program
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are a form of machine learning used to predict future values. This project uses RNNs tor predict future values for a flight simulator. Coded in Python using the Keras library, the model demonstrates training loss and validation loss, referring to the error when training the model.
