A framework for ontology based management of neural network as a service

Abstract

Neural networks proved extremely feasible for problems which are hard to solve by conventional computational algorithms due to excessive computational demand, as NP-hard problems, or even lack of a deterministic solution approach. In this paper we present a management framework for neural network objects based on ontology knowledge for the cloud-based neural network simulator N2Sky, which delivers neural network resources as a service on a world-wide basis. Core of this framework is the Neural Network Query Engine, N2Query, which allows users to specify their problem statements in form of natural language queries. It delivers a list of ranked N2Sky resources in return, providing solutions to these problems. The search algorithm applies a mapping process between a domain specific problem ontology and solution ontology.
