SEMINAR ANNOUNCEMENT
SPEAKER: Jacques J. Vidal
University of California, Los Angeles
TOPIC: REAL-TIME MULTISENSOR INFERENCING WITH ADAPTIVE LOGIC NETWORKS
The talk will present a general architecture model for special-purpose
parallel processing networks that perform logical inferences in real-time.
Operation is divided beween two complementary modes: Adaptation
(programming) and Processing. The data processing mode is a hierarchical,
asynchronous and completely parallel dataflow. Typically, logic operations
stored in a dynamically reconfigfurable combinatorial network, are performed
on sensor data. In the adaptation mode the network incrementally receives
goal information (either from a human user or directly from environment
sensors), and the node functions and/or connections self-adapt in order for
the output(s) to continually satisfy the externally defined goal. Adaptive
control is sequential, but performed in a distributed and largely concurrent
manner by the network nodes.
The target applications are event-detection, malfunction management and
similar robot functions, including vision.
