Operational neural networks and self-organized operational neural networks with generative neurons

Abstract

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for neural networks. In accordance with some example embodiments, an operational neuron model may comprise an artificial neuron comprising a composite nodal operator, a pool-operator, and an activation function operator. The nodal operator may comprise a linear function or non-linear function. In accordance with certain example embodiments, a generative neuron model may include a composite nodal-operator generated during the training using Taylor polynomial approximation without restrictions. In accordance with various example embodiments, a self-organized operational neural network (Self-ONN) may include one or more layers of generative neurons.
