Neural Network – an intelligent self-organized neural network system”

DESCRIPTION: Plausible Neural Network (PNN) is a new paradigm for
intelligent machine learning and statistical data analysis. PNN combines
information, statistics and fuzzy set theories into a single framework of neural
network computation. PNN performs clustering, classification, associative memory
and function/relation approximation in a unified architecture. PNN has the
fastest machine learning algorithm up-to-date, and it can be implemented by
analog VLSI. In this talk, I will discuss the fundamentals of statistical
inference and intelligent computation machine, which motivate the development of
PNN. I will introduce PNN and demonstrate the application of PNN to large-scale
high dimensional bioinformatics data analysis problems.

Yuan Yan Chen, Ph.D.
PNN Technologies, USA
Dr. Yan Chen received his Ph.D. in statistics from Florida State University
in 1980 under the guidance of Myles Hollander. He then taught for a few years at
Syracuse University, After that he joined the U.S. government to work at the
National Center for Educational Statistics and then at the Concept Analysis
Agency (Center for Army Analysis). He retired from the Civil Service a few years
ago and founded PNN Technologies Inc and has since dedicated his time to the
research and development of Plausible Neural Networks. Dr. Chen’s research
interests are to investigate new and more powerful statistical science in neural
computational and information sciences, creating a model that can mimic the
brain’s learning and cognitive processes. He wants to continue his research in
bridging the gaps between many interdisciplinary areas; neural computation,
statistical inference, fuzzy sets theory, machine learning, pattern recognition,
information theory, and dynamic systems. He is also interested in applyi9ng his
invention to the benefit of the medical field. In the past years he has acted as
a consultant for several bioinformatics projects at the research institution,
Academia Sinica in Taiwan.
