dc.description.abstract | With the increasing number of computational systems based on continuous streams of information, progressively learning and accommodating new knowledge in a more efficient manner becomes a long-standing challenge. This thesis proposes methods employing a Brain-Inspired Spiking Neural Network (BI-SNN) architecture for transfer learning scenarios. The proposed transfer learning approaches were experimentally validated using a benchmark brain data related to upper limb movement. The results showed that the proposed methods have the capability to effectively learn new knowledge by retaining and reusing previously learned knowledge, resulting in a better accuracy of classification (up to 88.89%) when compared with non-transfer learning methods. Further, a new deep knowledge representation approach is proposed and developed, which allows extracting spatial temporal rules from deep knowledge, enabling a better interpretation of learning patterns in the SNN models and evolution trace of knowledge during transfer learning. | en_NZ |
