70-802: In 1990, he introduced the simple recurrent neural network (SRNN), also known as the 'Elman network', which is capable of processing sequentially ordered stimuli, and has since become widely used. Elman's work was highly significant to our understanding of how languages are acquired and also, once acquired, how sentences are comprehended. Sentences in natural languages are composed of sequences of words that are organized in phrases and hierarchical structures. The Elman network provides an important hypothesis for how such structures might be learned and processed. Elman attended Palisades High School in Pacific Palisades, California, then Harvard University , where he graduated in 1969. He received his Ph.D. from

140-566: A Hebbian learning rule. Later, in Principles of Neurodynamics (1961), he described "closed-loop cross-coupled" and "back-coupled" perceptron networks, and made theoretical and experimental studies for Hebbian learning in these networks, and noted that a fully cross-coupled perceptron network is equivalent to an infinitely deep feedforward network. Similar networks were published by Kaoru Nakano in 1971 , Shun'ichi Amari in 1972, and William A. Little  [ de ] in 1974, who

210-946: A Jordan network are also called the state layer. They have a recurrent connection to themselves. Elman and Jordan networks are also known as "Simple recurrent networks" (SRN). Variables and functions Long short-term memory (LSTM) is the most widely used RNN architecture. It was designed to solve the vanishing gradient problem . LSTM is normally augmented by recurrent gates called "forget gates". LSTM prevents backpropagated errors from vanishing or exploding. Instead, errors can flow backward through unlimited numbers of virtual layers unfolded in space. That is, LSTM can learn tasks that require memories of events that happened thousands or even millions of discrete time steps earlier. Problem-specific LSTM-like topologies can be evolved. LSTM works even given long delays between significant events and can handle signals that mix low and high-frequency components. Many applications use stacks of LSTMs, for which it

280-522: A conditionally generative model of sequences, aka autoregression . Concretely, let us consider the problem of machine translation, that is, given a sequence ( x 1 , x 2 , … , x n ) {\displaystyle (x_{1},x_{2},\dots ,x_{n})} of English words, the model is to produce a sequence ( y 1 , … , y m ) {\displaystyle (y_{1},\dots ,y_{m})} of French words. It

350-508: A data flow, and the data flow itself is the configuration. Each RNN itself may have any architecture, including LSTM, GRU, etc. RNNs come in many variants. Abstractly speaking, an RNN is a function f θ {\displaystyle f_{\theta }} of type ( x t , h t ) ↦ ( y t , h t + 1 ) {\displaystyle (x_{t},h_{t})\mapsto (y_{t},h_{t+1})} , where In words, it

420-678: A handwriting or text recognition function TextRecognize. Handwriting recognition has an active community of academics studying it. The biggest conferences for handwriting recognition are the International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition (ICFHR), held in even-numbered years, and the International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR), held in odd-numbered years. Both of these conferences are endorsed by

490-516: A licensed version of the CIC handwriting recognition which, while also supporting unistroke forms, pre-dated the Xerox patent. The court finding of infringement was reversed on appeal, and then reversed again on a later appeal. The parties involved subsequently negotiated a settlement concerning this and other patents. A Tablet PC is a notebook computer with a digitizer tablet and a stylus, which allows

560-437: A neural history compressor system solved a "Very Deep Learning" task that required more than 1000 subsequent layers in an RNN unfolded in time. Long short-term memory (LSTM) networks were invented by Hochreiter and Schmidhuber in 1995 and set accuracy records in multiple applications domains. It became the default choice for RNN architecture. Bidirectional recurrent neural networks (BRNN) uses two RNN that processes

630-522: A neural network because the properties are not learned automatically. Where traditional techniques focus on segmenting individual characters for recognition, modern techniques focus on recognizing all the characters in a segmented line of text. Particularly they focus on machine learning techniques that are able to learn visual features, avoiding the limiting feature engineering previously used. State-of-the-art methods use convolutional networks to extract visual features over several overlapping windows of

700-497: A number of fields, including cognitive science , psychology, economics and physics, among many others. In 1996, he co-authored (with Annette Karmiloff-Smith , Elizabeth Bates , Mark H. Johnson , Domenico Parisi, and Kim Plunkett), the book Rethinking Innateness , which argues against a strong nativist (innate) view of development. Elman was an Inaugural Fellow of the Cognitive Science Society , and also

770-435: A pen-based computer screen surface, a generally easier task as there are more clues available. A handwriting recognition system handles formatting, performs correct segmentation into characters, and finds the most possible words. Offline handwriting recognition involves the automatic conversion of text in an image into letter codes that are usable within computer and text-processing applications. The data obtained by this form

840-487: A recognition engine is used to identify the corresponding computer character. Several different recognition techniques are currently available. Feature extraction works in a similar fashion to neural network recognizers. However, programmers must manually determine the properties they feel are important. This approach gives the recognizer more control over the properties used in identification. Yet any system using this approach requires substantially more development time than

910-471: A sequence of hidden vectors, and the decoder RNN processes the sequence of hidden vectors to an output sequence, with an optional attention mechanism . This was used to construct state of the art neural machine translators during the 2014–2017 period. This was an instrumental step towards the development of Transformers . An RNN may process data with more than one dimension. PixelRNN processes two-dimensional data, with many possible directions. For example,

980-405: A stand-alone RNN, and each layer's output sequence is used as the input sequence to the layer above. There is no conceptual limit to the depth of stacked RNN. A bidirectional RNN (biRNN) is composed of two RNNs, one processing the input sequence in one direction, and another in the opposite direction. Abstractly, it is structured as follows: The two output sequences are then concatenated to give

1050-493: A successful series of PDAs based on the Graffiti recognition system. Graffiti improved usability by defining a set of "unistrokes", or one-stroke forms, for each character. This narrowed the possibility for erroneous input, although memorization of the stroke patterns did increase the learning curve for the user. The Graffiti handwriting recognition was found to infringe on a patent held by Xerox, and Palm replaced Graffiti with

1120-431: A text line image which a recurrent neural network uses to produce character probabilities. Online handwriting recognition involves the automatic conversion of text as it is written on a special digitizer or PDA , where a sensor picks up the pen-tip movements as well as pen-up/pen-down switching. This kind of data is known as digital ink and can be regarded as a digital representation of handwriting. The obtained signal

1190-434: A user to handwrite text on the unit's screen. The operating system recognizes the handwriting and converts it into text. Windows Vista and Windows 7 include personalization features that learn a user's writing patterns or vocabulary for English, Japanese, Chinese Traditional, Chinese Simplified and Korean. The features include a "personalization wizard" that prompts for samples of a user's handwriting and uses them to retrain

1260-449: Is a first-order iterative optimization algorithm for finding the minimum of a function. In neural networks, it can be used to minimize the error term by changing each weight in proportion to the derivative of the error with respect to that weight, provided the non-linear activation functions are differentiable . The standard method for training RNN by gradient descent is the " backpropagation through time " (BPTT) algorithm, which

1330-493: Is a neural network that maps an input x t {\displaystyle x_{t}} into an output y t {\displaystyle y_{t}} , with the hidden vector h t {\displaystyle h_{t}} playing the role of "memory", a partial record of all previous input-output pairs. At each step, it transforms input to an output, and modifies its "memory" to help it to better perform future processing. The illustration to

1400-475: Is a special case of the general algorithm of backpropagation . A more computationally expensive online variant is called "Real-Time Recurrent Learning" or RTRL, which is an instance of automatic differentiation in the forward accumulation mode with stacked tangent vectors. Unlike BPTT, this algorithm is local in time but not local in space. Handwriting recognition Handwriting recognition ( HWR ), also known as handwritten text recognition ( HTR ),

1470-414: Is a three-layer network (arranged horizontally as x , y , and z in the illustration) with the addition of a set of context units ( u in the illustration). The middle (hidden) layer is connected to these context units fixed with a weight of one. At each time step, the input is fed forward and a learning rule is applied. The fixed back-connections save a copy of the previous values of the hidden units in

1540-473: Is an RNN in which all connections across layers are equally sized. It requires stationary inputs and is thus not a general RNN, as it does not process sequences of patterns. However, it guarantees that it will converge. If the connections are trained using Hebbian learning , then the Hopfield network can perform as robust content-addressable memory , resistant to connection alteration. An Elman network

1610-476: Is called "deep LSTM". LSTM can learn to recognize context-sensitive languages unlike previous models based on hidden Markov models (HMM) and similar concepts. Gated recurrent unit (GRU), introduced in 2014, was designed as a simplification of LSTM. They are used in the full form and several further simplified variants. They have fewer parameters than LSTM, as they lack an output gate. Their performance on polyphonic music modeling and speech signal modeling

1680-551: Is converted into letter codes that are usable within computer and text-processing applications. The elements of an online handwriting recognition interface typically include: The process of online handwriting recognition can be broken down into a few general steps: The purpose of preprocessing is to discard irrelevant information in the input data, that can negatively affect the recognition. This concerns speed and accuracy. Preprocessing usually consists of binarization, normalization, sampling, smoothing and denoising. The second step

1750-426: Is feature extraction. Out of the two- or higher-dimensional vector field received from the preprocessing algorithms, higher-dimensional data is extracted. The purpose of this step is to highlight important information for the recognition model. This data may include information like pen pressure, velocity or the changes of writing direction. The last big step is classification. In this step, various models are used to map

1820-458: Is preferred to binary encoding of the associative pairs. Recently, stochastic BAM models using Markov stepping were optimized for increased network stability and relevance to real-world applications. A BAM network has two layers, either of which can be driven as an input to recall an association and produce an output on the other layer. Echo state networks (ESN) have a sparsely connected random hidden layer. The weights of output neurons are

1890-435: Is regarded as a static representation of handwriting. Offline handwriting recognition is comparatively difficult, as different people have different handwriting styles. And, as of today, OCR engines are primarily focused on machine printed text and ICR for hand "printed" (written in capital letters) text. Offline character recognition often involves scanning a form or document. This means the individual characters contained in

1960-569: Is still a problem, and some people still find even a simple on-screen keyboard more efficient. Early software could understand print handwriting where the characters were separated; however, cursive handwriting with connected characters presented Sayre's Paradox , a difficulty involving character segmentation. In 1962 Shelia Guberman , then in Moscow, wrote the first applied pattern recognition program. Commercial examples came from companies such as Communications Intelligence Corporation and IBM. In

2030-496: Is that if the model makes a mistake early on, say at y ^ 2 {\displaystyle {\hat {y}}_{2}} , then subsequent tokens are likely to also be mistakes. This makes it inefficient for the model to obtain a learning signal, since the model would mostly learn to shift y ^ 2 {\displaystyle {\hat {y}}_{2}} towards y 2 {\displaystyle y_{2}} , but not

2100-431: Is the recurrent unit . This unit maintains a hidden state, essentially a form of memory, which is updated at each time step based on the current input and the previous hidden state. This feedback loop allows the network to learn from past inputs, and incorporate that knowledge into its current processing. Early RNNs suffered from the vanishing gradient problem , limiting their ability to learn long-range dependencies. This

2170-458: Is the Hopfield network with random initialization. Sherrington and Kirkpatrick found that it is highly likely for the energy function of the SK model to have many local minima. In the 1982 paper, Hopfield applied this recently developed theory to study the Hopfield network with binary activation functions. In a 1984 paper he extended this to continuous activation functions. It became a standard model for

2240-428: Is the ability of a computer to receive and interpret intelligible handwritten input from sources such as paper documents, photographs , touch-screens and other devices. The image of the written text may be sensed "off line" from a piece of paper by optical scanning ( optical character recognition ) or intelligent word recognition . Alternatively, the movements of the pen tip may be sensed "on line", for example by

2310-598: Is to be solved by a seq2seq model. Now, during training, the encoder half of the model would first ingest ( x 1 , x 2 , … , x n ) {\displaystyle (x_{1},x_{2},\dots ,x_{n})} , then the decoder half would start generating a sequence ( y ^ 1 , y ^ 2 , … , y ^ l ) {\displaystyle ({\hat {y}}_{1},{\hat {y}}_{2},\dots ,{\hat {y}}_{l})} . The problem

2380-576: The PenPoint operating system developed by GO Corp. PenPoint used handwriting recognition and gestures throughout and provided the facilities to third-party software. IBM's tablet computer was the first to use the ThinkPad name and used IBM's handwriting recognition. This recognition system was later ported to Microsoft Windows for Pen Computing , and IBM's Pen for OS/2 . None of these were commercially successful. Advancements in electronics allowed

2450-571: The University of Texas at Austin in 1977. With Jay McClelland , Elman developed the TRACE model of speech perception in the mid-80s. TRACE remains a highly influential model that has stimulated a large body of empirical research. In 1990, he introduced the simple recurrent neural network (SRNN; aka 'Elman network'), which is a widely used recurrent neural network that is capable of processing sequentially ordered stimuli. Elman nets are used in

In 1933, Lorente de Nó discovered "recurrent, reciprocal connections" by Golgi's method , and proposed that excitatory loops explain certain aspects of the vestibulo-ocular reflex . During 1940s, multiple people proposed the existence of feedback in the brain, which was a contrast to the previous understanding of

2590-534: The 2009 International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR), without any prior knowledge about the three different languages (French, Arabic, Persian ) to be learned. Recent GPU -based deep learning methods for feedforward networks by Dan Ciresan and colleagues at IDSIA won the ICDAR 2011 offline Chinese handwriting recognition contest; their neural networks also were the first artificial pattern recognizers to achieve human-competitive performance on

2660-714: The Apple Newton systems, and Lexicus Longhand system was made available commercially for the PenPoint and Windows operating system. Lexicus was acquired by Motorola in 1993 and went on to develop Chinese handwriting recognition and predictive text systems for Motorola. ParaGraph was acquired in 1997 by SGI and its handwriting recognition team formed a P&I division, later acquired from SGI by Vadem . Microsoft has acquired CalliGrapher handwriting recognition and other digital ink technologies developed by P&I from Vadem in 1999. Wolfram Mathematica (8.0 or later) also provides

Active areas of research include: Since 2009, the recurrent neural networks and deep feedforward neural networks developed in the research group of Jürgen Schmidhuber at the Swiss AI Lab IDSIA have won several international handwriting competitions. In particular, the bi-directional and multi-dimensional Long short-term memory (LSTM) of Alex Graves et al. won three competitions in connected handwriting recognition at

2800-531: The administration to acknowledge and correct the situation. Elman died of a heart condition on June 28, 2018, at the age of 70. Recurrent neural network Recurrent neural networks ( RNNs ) are a class of artificial neural network commonly used for sequential data processing. Unlike feedforward neural networks , which process data in a single pass, RNNs process data across multiple time steps, making them well-adapted for modelling and processing text, speech, and time series . The building block of RNNs

2870-475: The computing power necessary for handwriting recognition to fit into a smaller form factor than tablet computers, and handwriting recognition is often used as an input method for hand-held PDAs . The first PDA to provide written input was the Apple Newton , which exposed the public to the advantage of a streamlined user interface. However, the device was not a commercial success, owing to the unreliability of

2940-425: The context of what came before it and what came after it. By stacking multiple bidirectional RNNs together, the model can process a token increasingly contextually. The ELMo model (2018) is a stacked bidirectional LSTM which takes character-level as inputs and produces word-level embeddings. Two RNNs can be run front-to-back in an encoder-decoder configuration. The encoder RNN processes an input sequence into

3010-418: The context units (since they propagate over the connections before the learning rule is applied). Thus the network can maintain a sort of state, allowing it to perform tasks such as sequence-prediction that are beyond the power of a standard multilayer perceptron . Jordan networks are similar to Elman networks. The context units are fed from the output layer instead of the hidden layer. The context units in

3080-454: The early 1990s, two companies – ParaGraph International and Lexicus – came up with systems that could understand cursive handwriting recognition. ParaGraph was based in Russia and founded by computer scientist Stepan Pachikov while Lexicus was founded by Ronjon Nag and Chris Kortge who were students at Stanford University. The ParaGraph CalliGrapher system was deployed in

3150-514: The early 2010s. The papers most commonly cited as the originators that produced seq2seq are two papers from 2014. A seq2seq architecture employs two RNN, typically LSTM, an "encoder" and a "decoder", for sequence transduction, such as machine translation. They became state of the art in machine translation, and was instrumental in the development of attention mechanism and Transformer . An RNN-based model can be factored into two parts: configuration and architecture. Multiple RNN can be combined in

3220-599: The extracted features to different classes and thus identifying the characters or words the features represent. Commercial products incorporating handwriting recognition as a replacement for keyboard input were introduced in the early 1980s. Examples include handwriting terminals such as the Pencept Penpad and the Inforite point-of-sale terminal. With the advent of the large consumer market for personal computers, several commercial products were introduced to replace

3290-524: The keyboard and mouse on a personal computer with a single pointing/handwriting system, such as those from Pencept, CIC and others. The first commercially available tablet-type portable computer was the GRiDPad from GRiD Systems , released in September 1989. Its operating system was based on MS-DOS . In the early 1990s, hardware makers including NCR , IBM and EO released tablet computers running

The Committee on Academic Freedom of the UCSD Academic Senate initiated an investigation of the letter. In May 2011, after hearing a report from the committee, the UCSD faculty senate expressed "grave concern" about the incident, which it deemed a violation of academic freedom. The committee called on

3430-556: The neural system as a purely feedforward structure. Hebb considered "reverberating circuit" as an explanation for short-term memory. The McCulloch and Pitts paper (1943), which proposed the McCulloch-Pitts neuron model, considered networks that contains cycles. The current activity of such networks can be affected by activity indefinitely far in the past. They were both interested in closed loops as possible explanations for e.g. epilepsy and causalgia . Recurrent inhibition

A recursive neural network is created by applying the same set of weights recursively over a differentiable graph-like structure by traversing the structure in topological order . Such networks are typically also trained by

So for example, it would see ( y 1 , … , y k ) {\displaystyle (y_{1},\dots ,y_{k})} in order to generate y ^ k + 1 {\displaystyle {\hat {y}}_{k+1}} . Gradient descent

A special case of recursive neural networks is the RNN whose structure corresponds to a linear chain. Recursive neural networks have been applied to natural language processing . The Recursive Neural Tensor Network uses a tensor -based composition function for all nodes in

3710-438: The right may be misleading to many because practical neural network topologies are frequently organized in "layers" and the drawing gives that appearance. However, what appears to be layers are, in fact, different steps in time, "unfolded" to produce the appearance of layers . A stacked RNN , or deep RNN , is composed of multiple RNNs stacked one above the other. Abstractly, it is structured as follows Each layer operates as

3780-667: The row-by-row direction processes an n × n {\displaystyle n\times n} grid of vectors x i , j {\displaystyle x_{i,j}} in the following order: x 1 , 1 , x 1 , 2 , … , x 1 , n , x 2 , 1 , x 2 , 2 , … , x 2 , n , … , x n , n {\displaystyle x_{1,1},x_{1,2},\dots ,x_{1,n},x_{2,1},x_{2,2},\dots ,x_{2,n},\dots ,x_{n,n}} The diagonal BiLSTM uses two LSTMs to process

3850-595: The same grid. One processes it from the top-left corner to the bottom-right, such that it processes x i , j {\displaystyle x_{i,j}} depending on its hidden state and cell state on the top and the left side: h i − 1 , j , c i − 1 , j {\displaystyle h_{i-1,j},c_{i-1,j}} and h i , j − 1 , c i , j − 1 {\displaystyle h_{i,j-1},c_{i,j-1}} . The other processes it from

3920-772: The same input in opposite directions. These two are often combined, giving the bidirectional LSTM architecture. Around 2006, bidirectional LSTM started to revolutionize speech recognition , outperforming traditional models in certain speech applications. They also improved large-vocabulary speech recognition and text-to-speech synthesis and was used in Google voice search , and dictation on Android devices . They broke records for improved machine translation , language modeling and Multilingual Language Processing. Also, LSTM combined with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) improved automatic image captioning . The idea of encoder-decoder sequence transduction had been developed in

3990-463: The scanned image will need to be extracted. Tools exist that are capable of performing this step. However, there are several common imperfections in this step. The most common is when characters that are connected are returned as a single sub-image containing both characters. This causes a major problem in the recognition stage. Yet many algorithms are available that reduce the risk of connected characters. After individual characters have been extracted,

4060-576: The software, which tried to learn a user's writing patterns. By the time of the release of the Newton OS 2.0, wherein the handwriting recognition was greatly improved, including unique features still not found in current recognition systems such as modeless error correction, the largely negative first impression had been made. After discontinuation of Apple Newton , the feature was incorporated in Mac OS X 10.2 and later as Inkwell . Palm later launched

4130-531: The study of neural networks through statistical mechanics. Modern RNN networks are mainly based on two architectures: LSTM and BRNN. At the resurgence of neural networks in the 1980s, recurrent networks were studied again. They were sometimes called "iterated nets". Two early influential works were the Jordan network (1986) and the Elman network (1990), which applied RNN to study cognitive psychology . In 1993,

4200-539: The system for higher accuracy recognition. This system is distinct from the less advanced handwriting recognition system employed in its Windows Mobile OS for PDAs. Although handwriting recognition is an input form that the public has become accustomed to, it has not achieved widespread use in either desktop computers or laptops. It is still generally accepted that keyboard input is both faster and more reliable. As of 2006 , many PDAs offer handwriting input, sometimes even accepting natural cursive handwriting, but accuracy

4270-424: The top-right corner to the bottom-left. Fully recurrent neural networks (FRNN) connect the outputs of all neurons to the inputs of all neurons. In other words, it is a fully connected network . This is the most general neural network topology, because all other topologies can be represented by setting some connection weights to zero to simulate the lack of connections between those neurons.

4410-453: The tree. Neural Turing machines (NTMs) are a method of extending recurrent neural networks by coupling them to external memory resources with which they interact. The combined system is analogous to a Turing machine or Von Neumann architecture but is differentiable end-to-end, allowing it to be efficiently trained with gradient descent . Differentiable neural computers (DNCs) are an extension of Neural Turing machines, allowing for

4480-467: The usage of fuzzy amounts of each memory address and a record of chronology. Neural network pushdown automata (NNPDA) are similar to NTMs, but tapes are replaced by analog stacks that are differentiable and trained. In this way, they are similar in complexity to recognizers of context free grammars (CFGs). Recurrent neural networks are Turing complete and can run arbitrary programs to process arbitrary sequences of inputs. An RNN can be trained into

The Ising model was developed by Wilhelm Lenz and Ernst Ising in the 1920s as a simple statistical mechanical model of magnets at equilibrium. Glauber in 1963 studied the Ising model evolving in time, as a process towards equilibrium ( Glauber dynamics ), adding in the component of time. The Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model of spin glass, published in 1975,

In 2009 Elman sent a letter to UCSD sociology professor Richard Biernacki, instructing him not to publish research which was critical of one of his colleagues at UCSD, and of other scholars in the field. Elman's letter suggested that Biernacki's criticism of the UCSD colleague constituted "harassment" and threatened Biernacki with censure, salary reduction or dismissal if he tried to publish his work. In addition,

4690-418: Was found to be similar to that of long short-term memory. There does not appear to be particular performance difference between LSTM and GRU. Introduced by Bart Kosko, a bidirectional associative memory (BAM) network is a variant of a Hopfield network that stores associative data as a vector. The bidirectionality comes from passing information through a matrix and its transpose . Typically, bipolar encoding

Rumelhart Prize for Theoretical Contributions to Cognitive Science. He was founding co-director of the Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind at UC San Diego, and held the Chancellor's Associates Endowed Chair. He was Dean of Social Sciences at UCSD from 2008 until June 2014. Elman

See for an extensive review of recurrent neural network models in neuroscience. Frank Rosenblatt in 1960 published "close-loop cross-coupled perceptrons", which are 3-layered perceptron networks whose middle layer contains recurrent connections that change by

4900-466: Was solved by the long short-term memory (LSTM) variant in 1997, thus making it the standard architecture for RNN. RNNs have been applied to tasks such as unsegmented, connected handwriting recognition , speech recognition , natural language processing , and neural machine translation . One origin of RNN was neuroscience. The word "recurrent" is used to describe loop-like structures in anatomy. In 1901, Cajal observed "recurrent semicircles" in
