And/or trade-off in artificial neurons: impact on adversarial robustness

Alessandro Fontana

Despite the success of neural networks, the issue of classification robustness remains, particularly highlighted by adversarial examples. In this paper, we address this challenge b…

A deep learning-inspired model of the hippocampus as storage device of the brain extended dataset

Alessandro Fontana

The standard model of memory consolidation foresees that memories are initially recorded in the hippocampus, while features that capture higher-level generalisations of data are cr…

Is psychosis caused by defective dissociation? An Artificial Life model for schizophrenia

Alessandro Fontana

Both neurobiological and environmental factors are known to play a role in the origin of schizophrenia, but no model has been proposed that accounts for both. This work presents a…

An artificial neural network to find correlation patterns in an arbitrary number of variables

Alessandro Fontana

Methods to find correlation among variables are of interest to many disciplines, including statistics, machine learning, (big) data mining and neurosciences. Parameters that measur…
