ABSTRACT

The gene regulatory network (GRN) of biological cells governs a number of key functionalities that enable them to adapt and survive through different environmental conditions. Close observation of the GRN shows that the structure and operational principles resemble an artificial neural network (ANN), which can pave the way for the development of wet-neuromorphic computing systems. Genes are integrated into gene-perceptrons with transcription factors (TFs) as input, where the TF concentration relative to half-maximal RNA concentration and gene product copy number influences transcription and translation via weighted multiplication before undergoing a nonlinear activation function. This process yields protein concentration as the output, effectively turning the entire GRN into a gene regulatory neural network (GRNN). In this paper, we establish nonlinear classifiers for molecular machine learning using the inherent sigmoidal nonlinear behavior of gene expression. The eigenvalue-based stability analysis, tailored to system parameters, confirms maximum-stable concentration levels, minimizing concentration fluctuations and computational errors. Given the significance of the stabilization phase in GRNN computing and the dynamic nature of the GRN, alongside potential changes in system parameters, we utilize the Lyapunov stability theorem for temporal stability analysis. Based on this GRN-to-GRNN mapping and stability analysis, three classifiers are developed utilizing two generic multilayer sub-GRNNs and a sub-GRNN extracted from the Escherichia coli GRN. Our findings also reveal the adaptability of different sub-GRNNs to suit different application requirements.

ABSTRACT

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are weaving their way into the fabric of society, where they are playing a crucial role in numerous facets of our lives. As we witness the increased deployment of AI and ML in various types of devices, we benefit from their use into energy-efficient algorithms for low powered devices. In this paper, we investigate a scale and medium that is far smaller than conventional devices as we move towards molecular systems that can be utilized to perform machine learning functions, i.e., Molecular Machine Learning (MML). Fundamental to the operation of MML is the transport, processing, and interpretation of information propagated by molecules through chemical reactions. We begin by reviewing the current approaches that have been developed for MML, before we move towards potential new directions that rely on gene regulatory networks inside biological organisms as well as their population interactions to create neural networks. We then investigate mechanisms for training machine learning structures in biological cells based on calcium signaling and demonstrate their application to build an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC). Lastly, we look at potential future directions as well as challenges that this area could solve.
