Putting a bug in ML: The moth olfactory network learns to read MNIST.

Neural Netw

Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Washington, Seattle, United States. Electronic address:

We seek to (i) characterize the learning architectures exploited in biological neural networks for training on very few samples, and (ii) port these algorithmic structures to a machine learning context. The moth olfactory network is among the simplest biological neural systems that can learn, and its architecture includes key structural elements and mechanisms widespread in biological neural nets, such as cascaded networks, competitive inhibition, high intrinsic noise, sparsity, reward mechanisms, and Hebbian plasticity. These structural biological elements, in combination, enable rapid learning.

Since their discovery in the early 20th century, antibiotics have been used as the primary weapon against bacterial infections. Due to their prophylactic effect, they are also used as part of the cocktail of drugs given to treat complex diseases such as cancer or during surgery, in order to prevent infection. This has resulted in a decrease of mortality from infectious diseases and an increase in life expectancy in the last 100 years.

Intentional and unintentional openings in a building's envelope provide opportunities for unwanted pests to enter buildings. The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål), is one such pest, causing a significant domestic winter nuisance in many locations. One important means of pest control is exclusion, or blocking openings through which they can enter, although some openings are intentional and cannot be completely blocked without putting a building at risk.
