Investigating the intrinsic top-down dynamics of deep generative models by Lorenzo Tausani, Alberto Testolin, Marco Zorzi

“…This capability can be linked to current theories in computational neuroscience, which propose that spontaneous brain activity at rest is the manifestation of top-down dynamics of generative models detached from action-perception cycles. A popular class of hierarchical generative models is that of Deep Belief Networks (DBNs), which are energy-based deep learning architectures that can learn multiple levels of representations in a completely unsupervised way exploiting Hebbian-like learning mechanisms. …”

Data-driven multi-fault detection in pipelines utilizing frequency response function and artificial neural networks by Hussein A. M. Hussein, Sharafiz B. Abdul Rahim, Faizal B. Mustapha, Prajindra S. Krishnan, Nawal Aswan B. Abdul Jalil

“…The proposed methodology demonstrated exceptional performance, with the ANN model achieving consistently high overall accuracy (above 99.7%) and remarkably low mean squared error (in the range of 0.0088 × 10−3 to 0.3062 × 10−3) across multiple iterations and sensor datasets. The detailed class-specific metrics, including accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and F1-score, further substantiated the model’s effectiveness in identifying the individual fault types with near-perfect or perfect results for the majority of the fault scenarios. …”
