Summary on Grant Application Form
The traditional approach to artificial neural network design is to associate real valued weights with the connections between the neurons or processing units contained within the network. The purpose of this proposal is to generalise upon this idea by exploiting the advantages offered by a merger of the ideas contained within the areas of traditional Artificial Neural network design and Constructive type theory. The result of such a proposal would be to produce a neural network architecture capable of manipulating the formal logical expressions associated with Constructive Type Theory and hence efficiently handle application domains associated with complex multi-dimensional data. In order to exploit such a configuration, a network simulator would be produced which would be capable of generalising from a set of known samples of a problem to produce a distributed algorithmic solution to the problem which would be guaranteed to behave correctly within its specification constraints. The proposal aims to build upon a previous simulator architecture produced by the author where Clifford Algebra were employed to represent multi-dimensional data within a neural network architecture.
