Abstract

Probabilistic programming allows artificial systems to better operate with uncertainty, and stochastic arithmetic provides a way to carry out approximate computations with few resources. As such, both are plausible models for natural cognition. The authors' work on the automatic design of probabilistic machines computing soft inferences, with an arithmetic based on stochastic bitstreams, allowed to develop the following compilation toolchain: given a high-level description of some general problem, formalized as a Bayesian Program, the toolchain automatically builds a low-level description of an electronic circuit computing the corresponding probabilistic inference. This circuit can then be implemented and tested on reconfigurable logic. This paper describes two circuits as validating examples. The first one implements a Bayesian filter solving the problem of Pseudo Noise sequence acquisition in telecommunications. The second one implements decision making in a sensorimotor system: it allows a simple robot to avoid obstacles using Bayesian sensor fusion.

Abstract

We propose a time-domain multiple sound source localization (SSL) method based on Bayesian inference. This method is specifically designed to run on the stochastic machines (SM) that we are currently developing to perform efficient low-level sensor signal processing with ultra-low power consumption. The proposed SSL method is divided into two main parts. First, a probabilistic model is run on 50 very short time frames (3. 75ms each) of multichannel recorded signals. Second, the results obtained on the different frames are fused to obtain a final localization map. Using the system in a supervised way allows to extract estimated source locations by selecting as many maxima as there are sources in the room. We explain how this method is implemented on a SM. Experiments are presented to illustrate the performance and robustness of the resulting system.

Abstract

International audience; Bayesian models and stochastic computing form a promising paradigm for non-conventional, bio-inspired computation architectures. In particular, they are able to handle uncertainty and promise low power consumption. In this paper we study the application of such an architecture, the Sliced Bayesian Machine (SlicedBM) to a real-world problem, Sound Source Localization (SSL) for robots. We present an analysis of the quality of results and of computing time according to several parameters: sensor precision, result threshold, internal word length. Furthermore, we show that sensor data precision does not heavily influence the computation. On the opposite, the precision of the probability values plays an important role on result quality. This parameter also determines the circuit size. We also show that the higher the re-sampling threshold (RT), the better the distribution computed by the machine. Our results make it possible to choose optimal design parameters for a circuit along several trade-offs, and according to a given sensor fusion application.

Abstract

International audience; Compared to conventional processors, stochastic computing architectures have strong potential to speed up computation time and to reduce power consumption. We present such an architecture, called Bayesian Machine (BM), dedicated to solving Bayesian inference problems. Given a set of noisy signals provided by low-level sensors, a BM estimates the posterior probability distribution of an unknown target information. In the present study, a BM is used to solve a sound source localization (SSL) problem: the BM computes the probability distribution of the position of a sound source given acoustic signals captured by a set of microphones. Assuming free field wave propagation (no reverberations), we express the SSL problem as the maximization of a likelihood function fed with audio features provided by the time-frequency (TF) analysis of the captured audio waves. The proposed BM uses bitwise parallel sampling to fuse the resulting multi-channel information. As the number of channels to fuse is large, the standard BM architecture encounters the so-called " time dilution problem " (long delays are necessary to obtain valid samples). We tackle this problem by using max-normalization of the distributions combined with a periodic re-sampling of the bit streams after processing a reasonably small subset of evidences. Finally, we compare the localization performance of the proposed machine with the results obtained using a standard version of the machine. The re-sampling leads to an impressive acceleration factor of 10³ in the computation.
