Abstract

This paper reviews the background as well as the most contemporary developments and applications of nonconventional neural architectures (NNA) at the Department of Instrumentation and Control Engineering, at the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) with respect to continuous cooperation with our international collaborators [1] [2] [3]. First, the onset of the need for development of nonconventional neural units is introduced on the background of original research of evaluation and prediction of complex time series using neural networks and modeling and evaluation of complex dynamic systems - particularly focusing heart rate variability. Second, the classification of the recently developed new neural architectures is reviewed; mathematical structure of the NNA is discussed in comparison to a biological neuron involving parallels of nonsynaptic neural processing and thus revealing the need for extension of our general understanding to mathematical notation of artificial neurons. Then, founding principles of adaptive evaluation of complex high-dimensional dynamic systems using low-dimensional dynamic NNA are reviewed and achievements for both theoretical as well as real-world data are discussed.
