SOURCE-LINKED INTELLIGENCE

From reconstructions of neuronal circuits to anatomically realistic artificial neural networks

CORDIS · observation · Publication date unknown

onal circuits to anatomically realistic artificial neural networks Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have found applications in a wide variety of real-world problems. Despite this tremendous success, artificial intelligence systems still face major challenges due to their reliance on extensive training and large datasets. Recent reports indicate that the architecture of ANNs could be a prime target for reducing their training and data requirements. We hypothesize that such architectural features can be identified from neuronal networks in the brain, which have evolved to efficiently perform highly specialized functions. Recent advances in electron microscopy will soon provide detailed reconstructions of large-scale neuronal networks from different brain areas, species, developmental stages and/or pathological conditions. However, even if such data become available, directly transforming neuronal network reconstructions into ANNs will raise problems of interpretability, due to their enormous complexity, and generalizability, due to high inter-individual variability. Here, we will re
