Some attempts are introduced to analyze and understand principals behind brain function and massively parallel computation. Methods of statistical physics and probabilistic computation are lectured in addition to programming exercises to confirm the behavior of the parallel systems based on these methods.
Purpose of lecture
This course provides basic knowledge on brain computation, its models for engineering application and statistical theories to understand their behavior. Topics include biological neural networks, artificial neural networks, statistical theories to understand highly parallel computation systems, and programming exercises of parallel computation systems. This course requires basic programming capabilities as theories are learned through computer simulation.
