Attention: This month’s lecture will be held on the 3rd Thursday of February since the Valentine’s Day falls on Feb 14th.
Where: Montgomery Community College (Rockville Campus) – Humanity Building (HU), Conference Room 009 (Get Directions, Campus Map )
Synopsis:
In the last two decades, more attention has been given to Neural Networks and their applications. The ability of Neural Networks to solve complex problems in control, system identification, signal processing, communication, pattern recognition, etc. is well understood. Feed-forward Neural Network with feed-back connections is called Recurrent Neural Network. Recurrent Neural Networks are more powerful than feed-forward networks because of internal feed-back connections; this comes at the expense of more difficult training and the potential for instabilities. It has become more and more important to have efficient methods for determining the stability of Recurrent Neural Networks. The main contribution of this research is to develop improved methods for determining the stability of Recurrent Neural Networks.
About the Speaker:
Dr. Reza Jafari is currently the faculty member of Electrical Engineering Technology at ECPI University, Northern Virginia.
