Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, research into artificial intelligence and brain science have promoted and inspired each other. On the one hand, researchers have utilized artificial intelligence techniques, including deep learning and machine learning, to delve into the intricacies of brain information processing, thus enhancing our understanding of its underlying mechanisms. Conversely, insights gained from the study of the human brain's computational principles have paved the way for advancements in artificial intelligence, addressing the challenges faced by the field and propelling its technological advancement.

This particular Topic aims to bring together esteemed scientists working in the domains of artificial intelligence, brain science, and related fields such as machine learning, computer vision, and neuromorphic computing. We eagerly invite scholars to submit original research papers, experimental papers, and dataset papers that are closely aligned with the theme of this Topic. Contributions employing advanced mathematical methods and novel approaches within these areas are especially encouraged for publication.

Optimization, particularly constrained optimization problems (COPs), is fundamental in engineering, influencing various sectors with its critical role in enhancing design efficiency, reducing experimental costs, and shortening testing cycles. This study explores the challenges inherent in COPs, with a focus on developing efficient solution methodologies under stringent constraints. Surrogate models, especially Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), are pivotal in our approach, enabling the approximation of complex systems with reduced computational demand. We evaluate the efficacy of the Efficient Global Optimization (EGO) algorithm, which synergizes GPR with the Expected Improvement (EI) function, and further extend this framework to Constrained Expected Improvement (CEI) and our novel methodology Constrained Expected Prediction Error (CEPE). We demonstrate the effectiveness of these methodologies by numerical benchmark simulations and the real-world application of optimizing a Three-Bar Truss Design. In essence, the innovative CEPE approach promises a potent balance between solution accuracy and computational prowess, offering significant potential in the broader engineering field. Full article

As one of the solutions to overcome the current problems of computing systems, a resistive switching device, the TiN/TaOx/fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) stacked device, was fabricated to investigate its capability in embodying neuromorphic computing. The device showed good uniformity during the resistive switching phenomenon under time and cycle-to-cycle dependent switching, which may be due to the oxygen reservoir characteristics of the FTO bottom electrode, storing oxygen ions during resistive switching and enhancing the device property. Based on the uniform switching phenomenon of the TiN/TaOx/FTO device, the pulse applications were performed to seek its ability to mimic the biological brain. It was revealed that the volatile and non-volatile nature of the device can be altered by controlling the pulse stimuli, where strong stimuli result in long-term memory while weak stimuli result in short-term memory. To further investigate the key functions of the biological brain, various learning rules such as paired-pulse facilitation, excitatory postsynaptic current, potentiation and depression, spike-rate dependent plasticity, and spike-time dependent plasticity were tested, with reservoir computing implemented based on the volatile characteristic of the TiN/TaOx/FTO device.
