Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) resemble the human brain and can learn processes and behaviors. They are good at recognizing patterns and have potential uses in disease recognition, speech and handwriting recognition, and stock market predictions. RNNs can handle complex problems and missing data, making them powerful and flexible. They can be used in robotics to allow robots to learn from experience and make decisions. Some scientists believe that consciousness may one day be possible in RNNs, leading to ethical questions about the rights of machines.
Artificial neural networks are information processing systems based on natural nervous systems such as the human brain. They consist of many individual artificial neurons that are interconnected, can solve problems together, and have the ability to learn. A recurrent neural network (RNN) closely resembles the human brain because it contains feedback loops. These allow signals to travel both forward and backward, making for a more complex and less stable system. The recurrent neural network is dynamic and, after each input, the state of the system changes continuously until an equilibrium is reached.
Human brains can be described as biological recurrent neural networks. A recurrent artificial neural network shares the brain’s ability to learn processes and behaviors. This is not possible with traditional machine learning methods. In common with other types of neural networks, a recurrent neural network is particularly good at recognizing patterns and spotting trends. A number of potential uses have been found for this type of computational model, including disease recognition from medical scans, body systems modeling, speech and handwriting recognition, and stock market predictions.
Typically, a recurrent neural network will be used to solve a problem where it is known, or strongly suspected, that there is some type of relationship between the data input and the unknown output. The network will be trained, or will train itself, to process that relationship and provide a possible output value. A recurrent neural network can handle large complex problems where some values are missing or corrupted. Its ability to learn by example makes it powerful and flexible and eliminates the need to create an algorithm for each specific task.
Recurrent neural networks can be described as nonlinear statistical data modeling tools. The presence of feedback loops means that they are adaptive systems, capable of responding to change. A recurrent neural network used in robotics can allow a robot to learn from experience, allowing it to make decisions about which direction to take to achieve a goal. It may even be possible to develop curiosity in robots by making it rewarding to focus on unpredictable, even if not entirely random, things. Some scientists believe that consciousness itself is a mechanical process and that it may one day be possible to develop a conscious form of recurrent neural network, although this would lead to ethical questions about the rights of robots and machines.
