When you listen to sound over loudspeakers, you don't have any control over where the sound goes. Sometimes you don't want it to go everywhere. Scientists have devised a way to solve that problem. They have figured out how to "steer" sounds by aiming them only where he wants them to go with a device they call Audio Spotlight.
Conventional loudspeakers suffer from amplitude distortions, harmonic distortion, inter – modulation distortion, phase distortion, crossover distortion, cone resonance etc. In nature, sound travels in waves spreading in every direction, bouncing off some surfaces and being absorbed by others. It is certainly not linear. It helps to visualize the traditional loudspeaker as a light bulb. As with the light bulb, a traditional loudspeaker radiates sound fairly uniformly in all directions. A listener can stand anywhere in an acoustical environment and point to the speaker as the source of the sound.

In 90s we needed an environment which is adapted for
constrained devices – devices that had limitations on what they
can do when compared to standard desktop or server
computers. The constrained devices had such limitations as
extremely limited memory, small screen sizes, alternative input
methods, slow processors etc. In 1999 Sun Microsystems
Company has decided to develop a special edition of Java
called Java 2 Micro Edition.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

8. The neuron computes the weighted sum of the input
signals and compares the result with a threshold
value, . If the net input is less than the threshold,
the neuron output is –1. But if the net input is
greater than or equal to the threshold, the neuron
becomes activated and its output attains a value +1.
The neuron uses the following transfer or activation
function:
This type of activation function is called a sign
function.

9. Can a single neuron learn a task?
In 1958, Frank Rosenblatt introduced a training
algorithm that provided the first procedure for
training a simple ANN: a perceptron.
The perceptron is the simplest form of a neural
network. It consists of a single neuron with
adjustable synaptic weights and a hard limiter.
11. 11
Perceptron
• Is a network with all inputs connected directly to the output.
This is called a single layer NN (Neural Network) or a
Perceptron Network.
• A perceptron is a single neuron that classifies a set of inputs into
one of two categories (usually 1 or -1)
• If the inputs are in the form of a grid, a perceptron can be used to
recognize visual images of shapes.
• The perceptron usually uses a step function, which returns 1 if the
weighted sum of inputs exceeds a threshold, and –1 otherwise.
The operation of Rosenblatt’s perceptron is based on the
McCulloch and Pitts neuron model. The model consists of a
linear combiner followed by a hard limiter.
The weighted sum of the inputs is applied to the hard limiter,
which produces an output equal to +1 if its input is positive and
1 if it is negative.
12. An ANN can:
1.compute any computable function, by the appropriate
selection of the network topology and weights values.
2.learn from experience!
Specifically, by trial‐and‐error
Learning by trial‐and‐error
Continuous process of:
Trial:
Processing an input to produce an output (In terms of ANN: Compute the
output function of a given input)
Evaluate:
Evaluating this output by comparing the actual output with the
expected output.
Adjust:
Adjust the weights.

space, what is learnt

14. Perceptron Training- Preparation
• First, inputs are given random weights (usually
between –0.5 and 0.5)
• In the case of an elementary perceptron, the n-
dimensional space is divided by a hyperplane
into two decision regions. (i.e If we have 2
results we can separate them with a line with
each group result on a different side of the line)
The hyperplane is defined by the linearly
separable function:

15. If at iteration p, the actual output is Y(p) and the
desired output is Yd (p), then the error is given by:
where p = 1, 2, 3, . . .
Iteration p here refers to the pth training example
presented to the perceptron.
If the error, e(p), is positive, we need to increase
perceptron output Y(p), but if it is negative, we
need to decrease Y(p).

17. Step 1: Initialisation
Set initial weights w1, w2,…, wn and threshold
to random numbers in the range [0.5, 0.5].
If the error, e(p), is positive, we need to increase
perceptron output Y(p), but if it is negative, we
need to decrease Y(p).
Perceptron’s training algorithm
18. Step 2: Activation
Activate the perceptron by applying inputs x1(p),
x2(p),…, xn(p) and desired output Yd (p). Calculate
the actual output at iteration p = 1
where n is the number of the perceptron inputs,
and step is a step activation function.

22. Multilayer Perceptron
A multilayer perceptron neural network
with one or more hidden layers.
Hierarchical structure
The network consists of an input layer of
source neurons, at least one middle or
hidden layer of computational neurons,
and an output layer of computational
neurons.
24. What does the middle layer hide?
A hidden layer “hides” its desired output. Neurons
in the hidden layer cannot be observed through the
input/output behaviour of the network. There is no
obvious way to know what the desired output of
the hidden layer should be.
Commercial ANNs incorporate three and sometimes
four layers, including one or two hidden layers.
Each layer can contain from 10 to 1000 neurons.
Experimental neural networks may have five or
even six layers, including three or four hidden
layers, and utilise millions of neurons.
25. Learning Paradigms
Supervised learning
Unsupervised learning
Reinforcement learning
In artificial neural networks, learning refers to the
method of modifying the weights of connections
between the nodes of a specified network.
26. Supervised learning
This is what we have seen so far!
A network is fed with a set of training samples
(inputs and corresponding output), and it uses
these samples to learn the general relationship
between the inputs and the outputs.
This relationship is represented by the values of
the weights of the trained network.
27. Unsupervised learning
No desired output is associated with the
training data!
Faster than supervised learning
Used to find out structures within data:
Clustering
Compression
28. Reinforcement learning
Like supervised learning, but:
Weights adjusting is not directly related to the error
value.
The error value is used to randomly, shuffle weights!
Relatively slow learning due to ‘randomness’.
