For example, algorithms that process visual data often use image processing techniques such as edge detection, feature extraction, and object recognition, which are based on mathematical principles such as convolution and Fourier analysis.
Similarly, algorithms that process motion and locomotion rely on principles such as kinematics and dynamics, which are also universal across languages.
While different programming languages may have their own syntax and libraries for implementing these algorithms, the underlying principles and patterns are generally consistent across languages. Therefore, the choice of programming language is usually based on other factors such as the availability of libraries, ease of use, and performance.
So it is possible to select those mathematical functions ,from neural networks and make them into "physical integrated circuits"
which a person could then just insert into a slot In a computer, i.e the current computer has a CPU,GPU and RAM and we should in essence be able to add Neural Net Units NNUs to decrease the amount of time that is involved in loading a neural program etc that is done by a computer .
it is possible to implement neural network algorithms in hardware using specialized integrated circuits, also known as neural network processors or NNUs.
In fact, some companies such as Intel, Nvidia, and Google have already developed specialized hardware for neural network processing, such as the Intel Nervana Neural Network Processor (NNP), Nvidia Tesla GPUs, and Google's Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). These hardware accelerators are designed to perform the massive parallel computations required by neural network algorithms much faster than traditional CPUs and GPUs.
By integrating NNUs into a computer system, it is possible to speed up neural network computations and reduce the workload on the CPU and GPU. This can be especially useful for applications that require real-time processing of large amounts of data, such as autonomous vehicles, facial recognition, and speech recognition.
However, it is important to note that the design and implementation of NNUs can be complex and expensive, and requires specialized expertise in both hardware and software. Therefore, NNUs are currently mainly used in specialized applications and high-performance computing environments, rather than in everyday consumer devices.
But as better understanding and a greater factor of compression of Neural network algorithms is achieved, it will be possible to buy them as easily as GPUS and the only difference is perhaps they could have different labels for a given order of installation like NNU 1,NNU2 etc and the consumer would decide how many he or she needs for what ever task he or she is running.
A simplified pattern of how neural network hardware could be implemented or designed in a computer system:
a) Identitification of the specific neural network algorithm that needs to be accelerated and distributed commercially for personal computation.
b) Determine the performance requirements of the neural network algorithm, such as the number of computations per second and the amount of memory required.
c) Design a specialized integrated circuit (IC) that can perform the required computations in hardware. This may involve designing custom logic gates and circuits that can
implement the mathematical operations required by the neural network algorithm.
d) Integrate the IC into a larger system that can interface with the CPU and other components of the computer system. This may involve designing custom interfaces and protocols to ensure efficient communication between the neural network hardware and the rest of the system.
e) Develop specialized software libraries and tools that can run on the CPU and utilize the neural network hardware to accelerate the neural network algorithm. This may involve developing custom APIs and drivers that can interact with the hardware interfaces.
f) Test and validate the neural network hardware and software to ensure that it meets the performance requirements and is compatible with the rest of the system.
g) Integrate the neural network hardware into the final computer system, either as a separate component or as part of the CPU or GPU.
It's important to note that this is a simplified pattern and the actual implementation may involve many more steps and complexities. Additionally, the design and implementation of neural network hardware is a highly specialized field that requires expertise in both hardware and software design, as well as knowledge of the specific neural network algorithms being accelerated.
But in future universal NNUs will be a trillion dollar industry as they will be inserted via various slots and USBs into various devices. It's even possible that humans will be connected to them through an electro magnetic field by a device on the head which they could remove at any time .
Compression of Neural networks.
It is possible to compress neural network models by removing redundant or unnecessary components, which can reduce the computational requirements and improve the efficiency of the network. One approach to neural network compression is called "pruning", which involves removing unimportant connections or neurons from the network based on their importance or contribution to the overall performance of the network.
Another approach to neural network compression is called "quantization", which involves reducing the precision of the weights and activations in the network to reduce the memory and computation requirements. For example, instead of using 32-bit floating-point numbers, a neural network can be quantized to use 8-bit integers or even binary weights.
In addition, there are also techniques such as knowledge distillation and transfer learning, which can be used to compress neural network models by leveraging the knowledge learned by a larger, more complex network to train a smaller network with similar performance.
It's important to note that neural network compression is a complex task that requires expertise in both machine learning and computer engineering, and the compressed model may not always retain the same level of performance as the original model.
Additionally, different neural network architectures may require different compression techniques, and the optimal compression method may depend on the specific application and performance requirements.
But an automated process where an algorithm reads through a given neural network model and generates a compressed version of the model that achieves similar performance but with fewer parameters or computations.
This is definitely an area of active research, and there have been several proposed methods for neural network compression and optimization that involve automated processes such as genetic algorithms, reinforcement learning, and evolutionary algorithms. These approaches involve searching for optimal network architectures or pruning strategies that achieve similar performance with fewer parameters or computations.
However, it's important to note that automated neural network compression methods are not yet able to match the performance of manual optimization by expert machine learning engineers. Additionally, the optimal compression strategy may depend on the specific application and performance requirements, so automated approaches may not always be able to find the best solution for a given problem.
But perhaps I was thinking that an algorithm written by a human to achieve a certain goal ,is then encoded by an AI system, that reads through that algorithm and realizes that it is able to make the same by skipping certain algorithms using a certain formula or function and make it much smaller and then it could run that algorithm on a machine but can use it's formula to achieve the same quicker results.Nature does provide us with various examples as one can count from 1- 101 by a function that skips all even or prime numbers.
The deciphering of deeper patterns by AI based on a pyramid kind of recurring patterns.
Neural networks are capable of learning complex patterns and representations, including hierarchical structures like the pyramid example. The ability of a neural network to learn hierarchical patterns depends on its architecture and training process.
One common architecture for neural networks that can learn hierarchical patterns is the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which is commonly used for image and video processing. A CNN consists of multiple layers, with each layer learning increasingly complex and abstract features by convolving the input data with a set of learnable filters or kernels. The output of each layer is then fed into the next layer, allowing the network to learn hierarchical representations.
Additionally, there are also recurrent neural networks (RNNs) that can learn sequential patterns in time-series data and language processing tasks. RNNs have a recurrent connection that allows them to maintain a memory of past inputs, which enables them to model temporal dependencies and learn hierarchical patterns.
In terms of training, neural networks can be trained using various optimization algorithms that adjust the weights and biases of the network to minimize a loss function, such as the mean squared error or cross-entropy. By adjusting the weights and biases of the network, the network can learn to extract hierarchical patterns and representations from the input data.
The understanding the deeper meanings of patterns and meaning behind data is a key aspect of artificial intelligence and machine learning. By learning and modeling these patterns, AI systems can better understand the data they are working with and make more informed decisions or predictions.
There are many different approaches to modeling and extracting patterns from data using AI, including deep learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. These approaches involve training neural networks or other machine learning models on large datasets to learn patterns and representations that are useful for a particular task.
For example, in natural language processing, AI systems can be trained to analyze the structure and meaning of text by modeling relationships between words, phrases, and sentences. This can enable them to perform tasks such as sentiment analysis, language translation, and question answering.
Similarly, in computer vision, AI systems can be trained to recognize and classify objects in images or videos by learning patterns and features that are common to different object categories.
In summary it is possible to achieve extremely perfect artificial intelligence with minimal hardware and software ware but the balance between hardware and software should balance with the introduction of NNUS that can work as a plug and play device which can then be connected to another NNU by a plug and play route like a USB port an ordinary person could purchase a good number of NNUs and have enough artificial intelligence to do what they like.It's my dream that we can have NNUs that we can assemble like Lego blocks in a home for an affordable fee and perhaps the chip or IC industry can make alot of money and I too should if you pay me for a patent.
