Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system for computing conditional
- Bayesian inference is a popular framework for making decisions by estimating the conditional dependencies between different variables in the data.
- the inference task is often computationally expensive and performed using conventional digital computers.
- One prior method for probabilistic computation uses synaptic updating to perform Bayesian inference (see Literature Reference No. 1 of the List of Incorporated Literature References), but the method is only a mathematical theory and not biologically plausible.
- the present invention relates to a system for computing conditional
- the system comprises a neuromorphic hardware for implementing a spiking neural network comprising a plurality of neurons to compute the conditional probability of two random variables X and Y according to the following:
- the spiking neural network comprises an increment path for w that is proportional to a product of w * P(X ), a decrement path for w that is proportional to P(X, Y ), and delay and spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) parameters such that w increases and decreases with the same magnitude for a single firing event.
- STDP delay and spike timing dependent plasticity
- the spiking neural network comprises a plurality of
- synapses wherein all neurons, except for the B neuron, have the same threshold voltage, and wherein the synaptic weight w between the A neuron and the B neuron is the only synapse that has STDP, wherein all other synapses have a fixed weight that is designed to trigger post-synaptic neurons when pre-synaptic neurons fire.
- a sign of the STDP is inverted such that if the A neuron spikes before the B neuron, the synaptic weight w is decreased.
- the spiking neural network further comprises an XY neuron connected with both the A neuron and the B neuron, and wherein a delay is imposed between the XY neuron and the A neuron, which causes an increase in the synaptic weight w.
- the B neuron spikes after the A neuron in proportion to the synaptic weight w, such that a spiking rate for the B neuron depends on a product between a spiking rate of the X neuron and the synaptic weight w.
- the present invention also includes a computer implemented method.
- the computer implemented method includes an act of causing a computer to execute instructions and perform the resulting operations.

- any element in a claim that does not explicitly state“means for” performing a specified function, or“step for” performing a specific function, is not to be interpreted as a“means” or“step” clause as specified in 35 U.S.C.
- Various embodiments of the invention include three“principal” aspects.
- the first is a system for computing conditional probabilities of random variables for structure learning and Bayesian inference.
- the system is typically in the form of a computer system operating software (e.g., neuromorphic hardware) or in the form of a“hard-coded” instruction set.
- Neuromorphic hardware is any electronic device which mimics the natural biological structures of the nervous system.
- the implementation of neuromorphic computing on the hardware level can be realized by oxide-based memristors, spintronic memories, threshold switches, and transistors.
- the second principal aspect is a method, typically in the form of software, implemented using the neuromorphic hardware (digital computer).
- the digital computer system (neuromorphic hardware) is configured to
- Bayesian inference is a popular framework for making decisions by estimating the conditional dependencies between different variables in the data.
- the inference task is often computationally expensive and performed using conventional digital computers.
- Described herein is a unique spiking neural network to compute the conditional probabilities of random variables for structure learning and Bayesian inference.
- Random variables is a statistical term meaning that their values over time are taken from a kind of random distribution. The X and Y neurons are made to spike along with these random variables.
- the spiking neural network has a new network topology that enables efficient computation beyond the state-of-the- art methods.
- FIG. l is a depiction of Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP).
- STDP results in strengthening connections due to correlated spikes, and weakening connections due to uncorrelated spikes. For example, in FIG. 1, if neuron A (element 100) spikes just before neuron B (element 102), then w increases a lot; if neuron A (element 100) spikes a long time before neuron B (element 102) then w increases a little bit.
- neuron B (element 102) spikes just before neuron A (element 100) then w decreases a lot, and if neuron B (element 102) spikes a long time before neuron A (element 100), w decreases a little bit.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the relationship between weight change and spike interval for STDP. More specifically, FIG. 2 depicts the relationship between the magnitude of the weight update and the time difference (At) between the pre- synaptic and the post-synaptic spikes.
- a + and A determine the speed of convergence to the final weight value (i.e., the learning rate). A higher learning rate will converge faster, but the solution is less accurate. As a non-limiting example, 0.008 was used as the learning rate to achieve a good trade-off between speed and accuracy.
- the neural network topology described herein is capable of computing the conditional probability of two random variables (X and Y). From Bayes’ theorem, the conditional probability can be computed as
- Equation (1) P(X, Y) (2)
- Equation (2) When the left-hand side of Equation (2) equals the right-hand side, w equals the conditional probability, P(Y ⁇ X). It is, therefore, the goal to design a neural network that has the following characteristics:
- Circular nodes e.g., X neuron (element 300)
- inhibitory synapses are drawn with a circle (element 302) at the end of the connection, and triangles (element 301) represent excitatory synapses, which are considered the default synapses).
- All neurons have a threshold voltage of 1 volt except for neuron B (element 102).
- the only synapse that has STDP is the one between neuron A (element 100) and B (element 102); other synapses have a fixed weight (e.g.
- t ⁇ was set to be the unit delay between two neurons (0.1 milliseconds (ms)), and one volt was used as the firing threshold.
- All of the neurons are of the integrate-and-fire type, which sums up all of the input voltages from pre-synaptic spikes.
- the decay constant ⁇ ecay f° r the membrane potential is set to infinity; therefore, each neuron’s membrane potential will never decay.
- the integrate-and-fire dynamics can be implemented using the following equations (see Literature Reference No. 3): and where V is the membrane potential in volt for the neuron.
- I j is an indicator function for identifying which of the pre-synaptic neurons have fired:
- the membrane potentials are compared with the threshold voltages Vthreshold to determine if the neuron fires or not.
- Vthreshold is set to a constant value (e.g., one volt) except for neuron B (element 102), whose threshold is adjusted dynamically as described later.
- the membrane potential is reset to Vreset; Vreset is zero for all neurons.
- the method described herein uses reverse STDP update rules and the topology shown in FIG. 3 for storing the computed conditional probability in the weight value between two neurons.
- FIGs. 12A and 12B depict examples of a directional excitatory synapse and a directional inhibitory synapse, respectively.
- FIG. 12A shows a directional excitatory synapse, where neuron A (element 100) causes neuron B (element 102) to spike.
- FIG. 12B shows a directional inhibitory synapse, where neuron A (element 100) inhibits neuron B (element 102) from spiking.
- the sign of STDP was purposely inverted such that if neuron A (element 100) spikes before neuron B (element 102) in FIG. 5, the synaptic weight w is decreased.
- the reversal of STDP is necessary to decrease w when P ⁇ X) increases in order to keep w*P ⁇ X) constant. This is important for the network to converge to the desired equilibrium point instead of diverging away from it.
- the sign of the STDP being inverted results in the function illustrated in FIG. 2 being flipped about the time axis. [00060] (3.1.3) Increment Path for w
- FIG. 4 illustrates the neural structure for increasing the synaptic weight w.
- a delay between the XY neuron (element 400) and neuron A (element 100) is imposed, which causes w to increase when the XY neuron (element 400) fires because the A neuron (element 100) spikes after the B neuron (element 102) and the sign of the STDP is inverted.
- the B neuron (element 102) spikes after the A neuron (element 100) in proportion to w.
- Vdt the dynamic threshold
- Equation (7) describes the update rule for Vdt Vthreshold is set to one volt in one embodiment.
- the dynamic threshold allows the network to calculate the product between w and P(X) more accurately; otherwise, w will suffer from imprecision because it takes the same number of spikes from the A neuron (element 100) to trigger the B neuron (element 102) when w is larger than 0.5.
- the dynamic threshold is updated each time after neuron B (element 102) fires according to this equation: Vdt— ⁇ threshold (VB ⁇ dt), (7) where V dt is the voltage threshold for the B neuron (element 102). V threshold is the normal voltage threshold, which is set to IV. V B is the membrane potential of the B neuron (element 102) after accumulating all of the input voltages at the current time step. Note that in order for Equation (7) to work as designed, it is important to avoid conflicts between the increment path and the decrement path. For this reason, a delay of four units (0.4 ms) is imposed between the X neuron (element 300) and the A neuron (element 100) to allow w to increase first then decrease in the case where both paths are triggered.
- the neuron network can be operated in two modes: one is the training phase and the other is the measurement phase.
- the objective of the training phase is to allow weight w to converge to the targeted P(Y ⁇ X).
- spikes from the two random variables are fed to neuron X (element 300) and neuron Y (element 304 in FIGs. 3 and 6).
- STDP is enabled for the synapse between neuron A (element 100) and neuron B (element 102).
- the training phase is complete (after a certain amount of time defined by the users that suit their speed and accuracy requirements)
- the network enters the measurement phase.
- the goal of the measurement phase is to determine the dependency between the two random variables by calculating
- P(X) is set to one in the measurement phase (i.e., it spikes continuously).
- STDP is disabled to prevent w from being altered.
- the resulting calculation (the deviation of the conditional probability from the intrinsic value) is encoded in the firing rate of the neuron F (element 600) in FIG. 6.
- X) is recorded by reading out the synaptic weight w.
- FIG. 6 shows a neural network with a subtractor circuit (SI, S2, F) for calculating the absolute difference between P(Y) and P(Y ⁇ X).
- the firing rate of neuron F (element 600) measures the likelihood that neuron X (element 300) causes neuron Y (element 304) to happen.
- the SI neuron (element 602) takes three inputs (from neuron B (element 102), XY (element 306), and Y (element 304)).
- P(X) is set to one.
- the synapse between the XY neuron (element 306) and the SI neuron (element 602) is to compensate for the undesired artifact that the B neuron (element 102) will fire when the XY neuron (element 306) is triggered during the measurement phase, improving the accuracy of the subtraction calculation.
- the S2 neuron (element 604) works similarly; however, it computes P(Y ⁇ X) - P ⁇ Y) instead.
- Neuron F (element 600) outputs the sum of the two firing rates.
- P(Y) - P( Y ⁇ X) and P( Y ⁇ X) - P ⁇ Y) are exactly opposite in sign, and because firing probabilities are non negative, any negative values are reset to zero. Equations (9) through (11) below demonstrate how neuron F (element 600) effectively implements the following absolute function:
- the SI (element 602) and S2 (element 604) neurons have a lower and upper membrane potential limits to prevent the voltages from running away uncontrollably; the voltage limits are set to [-5,5] volts in one embodiment.
- the probability of firing for neuron SI (element 602), S2 (element 604), and F (element 600) can be described using the following equations:
- P(S 1), P(S2), and P ⁇ F) are unit-less numbers between zero and one that represent the probabilities of firing at any given time step.
- the max( ,0) operators in equations (9) through (11) are used to account for the fact that probabilities cannot be negative.
- FIG. 6 depicts a neuronal network topology for computing the conditional dependency structure between two or more random variables encoded as input data streams.
- the topology uses a subtractor circuit to compare P(X) to P(Y
- described herein is a method for learning conditional structure by determining independence and conditional dependence of temporally lagged variables using the network topology shown in FIG. 6.
- FIG. 11 depicts the system flow for the system for computing conditional probabilities of random variables for structure learning and Bayesian inference according to embodiments of the present disclosure.
- the spike encoder takes input sensor data and rate codes the values into frequencies of spikes in input spike trains, while the spiking decoder takes the output spike trains and decodes the frequencies of spikes back into values for the random variables and/or conditional probabilities, depending on what the user has queried.
- the inputs X (element 300) and Y (element 304) shown in FIG. 3 come from the spike encoding (element 1100) of streaming sensor data (element 1102) on a mobile platform, such as a ground vehicle (element 1104) or aircraft (element 1106), as depicted in FIG. 11.
- the values of the streaming sensor data will be temporally coded using rate coding.
- Probabilistic input spikes for X are generated as fixed-rate Poisson process.
- Y spikes are generated with a fixed Bernoulli probability P.
- FIGs. 9, 10 A, and 10B ten Bernoulli random variables were generated using this method, some of which are conditionally dependent on each other.
- the neuromorphic hardware required for implementing the neuronal network topology (element 1108) in FIG. 11 must have specific neuron voltage (spiking) equations, synaptic weight update rules (known as STDP), and specific neuronal voltage dynamics.
- STDP synaptic weight update rules
- the STDP required for the PCU+ topology in FIG. 13 is described in Literature Reference No. 5.
- At t post — t pre , where A + and 4 _ are the maximum and minimum gains, and T + and T _ are timescales for weight increase and decrease (FIG. 2).
- a unique“STDP Reversal” update rule is employed, such that the conditions for the two cases (i.e., At > 0, At ⁇ 0) are swapped.
- This reversal may not be implementable on existing general-purpose neuromorphic hardware.
- the voltage update rules required for the system described herein are described in Equations (3), (4), (5), and (7). Additional details regarding the neuronal topology (element 1108) implemented on neuromorphic hardware can be found in U.S. Application No. 16/294,815, entitled“A Neuronal Network Topology for Computing Conditional Probabilities,” which is hereby incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.
- the neuromorphic computing hardware according to embodiments of the present disclosure replaces the usage of a digital computer CPU (control processing unit) or GPU (graphics processing unit).
- the neuromorphic compiler (element 1110) is detailed in U.S. Application No. 16/294,886, entitled,“Programming Model for a Bayesian Neuromorphic Compiler,” which is hereby incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein. It is a programming model which lets users query Bayesian network probabilities from the learned conditional model (element 1112) for further processing or decision making.
- X) 0.6 is part of the learned conditional model (element 1112).
- FIG. 13 is an illustration of a full conditional probability unit according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
- Ip i.e., phasic input (element 1300)
- I T i.e., tonic input (element 1302)
- Tonic input corresponds to P(X)
- Phasic input corresponds to P(X, Y
- the "Tonic" input I T causes A (element 100) to spike
- a (element 100) causes B (element 102) to spike, resulting in an increase to w (element 1304).
- delay T 1 (element 1308) will cause d (element 102) to spike before A (element 100), causing w (element 1304) to decrease.
- A will not cause B (element 102) to spike after T 1 (element 1308) due to il's (element 102) refractory period, which is the period after stimulation where a neuron is unresponsive.
- the refractory period of a neuron is a period just after the spikes during which it cannot spike again, even if it receives input spikes from neighboring neurons. This is a known biological mechanism leveraged by the network according to embodiments of the present disclosure. This results in maintenance of a balance, dependent on C (element 1306) (i.e., if C (element 1306) spikes every time f?
- PCU+ is able to compute the conditional probability of two random variables, as shown in FIG. 7, where the unbolded line (element 700) represents the calculated results, and the bold line (element 702) represents the ground truth.
- the synaptic weight ( w ) between A and B converges to the final value in about 30 seconds of neural computation.
- the time interval between each input data point is 40 ms, and the spiking probability for the inputs are set to 0.7. This means that the PCU+ converged after observing around 500 input spikes; this is a fairly efficient method to estimate the conditional probability.
- the results show that w is able to track the fluctuation in P( Y ⁇ X) as the system progresses in time.
- the weight w is recorded in a variable in a software program or a register in neuromorphic hardware.
- Most spiking neural network simulators allow recordings of internal variables such as the synaptic weights.
- a register read operation is performed to record the final weight value to a recording media.
- FIG. 8 shows the results from a suite of simulations with the PCU+.
- the probabilities P(X) and P( Y ⁇ X) are varied to validate the accuracy of the neural network across different input conditions.
- the final synaptic weight, w which encodes P(Y ⁇ X)
- w was plotted after each simulation. It was observed that the final weights (represented by filled circles (element 800) align with the ground truth values (i.e., the dotted line (element 802)). Note that the PCU+ circuit is able to accurately compute the conditional probability over the entire range ([0,1]) of possible values.
- the PCU+ with Subtractor Circuit was applied to solve structure learning problems.
- structure learning the goal is to identify the causal relationships in a Bayesian network. More precisely, in experimental studies, the goal was to find the dependencies between ten different random variables, in which the current value of a variable affects the future values of other variables (i.e., Granger causality (see Literature References No. 4).
- Granger causality the following pre-processing techniques were performed on the data before being fed to the PCU+.
- the data for each random variable is a stream of 0s and Is, recording the occurrence of errors as a time series.
- a pair of data streams e.g., X and Y
- the data for Y is first shifted earlier by one time step. Effectively, P(Yt+i ⁇ Xt) is being calculated instead of P(Yt ⁇ Xt). This is necessary because the cause and the effect happens sequentially in time; by shifting Y forward in the training dataset, whether the current X (i.e., X t ) has an effect on future Y (i.e. Y t+i ) was tested.
- the dependencies were identified by computing P(Yt+i ⁇ Xt) between all pairs of random variables in the system and calculating the deviation of the conditional probabilities, P(Yt+i ⁇ Xt), from their intrinsic values, P(Yt+ 1).
- is encoded in the firing rate of neuron F in each PCU+.
- a threshold is defined, in which the link is flagged as significant, and a conclusion is made that X causes Y to happen.
- the table in FIG. 9 summarizes the firing rates of neuron F (element 600) from each PCU+, which encodes
- the results from the table in FIG. 9 are displayed visually by drawing an arrow between two random variables which have a potential causal relationship, as illustrated in FIG. 10 A.
- the neural network described herein can identify these dependencies with 100% accuracy, as determined by comparison with the ground truth dependencies shown in FIG. 10B.
- Bayesian inference is ubiquitous in data science and decision theory.
- the invention described herein can be used to reduce the operational cost for aircrafts and vehicles through preventive maintenance and diagnostics, enable
- Bayesian decision theory is a statistical approach to the problem of pattern classification.
- Pattern classification an example of a Bayesian inference task, has several applications, including object detection and object classification.
- an application of the invention described herein is estimating conditional probabilities between fault messages of a ground vehicle or aircraft for fault prognostic models.
- one or more processors of the system described herein can control one or more motor vehicle components (electrical, non-electrical, mechanical), such as a brake, a steering mechanism, suspension, or safety device (e.g., airbags, seatbelt tensioners, etc.).
- the vehicle could be an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), an autonomous self-driving ground vehicle, or a human operated vehicle controlled either by a driver or by a remote operator.
