Scope: Complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) exhibit very desirable
characteristics in their learning, self-organizing, and processing
dynamics. They are perfectly suited to deal with complex amplitude,
composed of amplitude and phase, which is one of the core concepts in
physical systems dealing with electromagnetic, light, sonic/ultrasonic,
and quantum waves (electron and superconducting waves). This, together
with the widespread use of analytic signals, gives them a critical
advantage in practical applications in diverse fields of engineering,
where signals are routinely analyzed and processed in time/space,
frequency, and phase domains. CVNNs are closely related also to brain
dynamics, e.g., in the analysis of theta rhythm in Hippocampus where the
phase shift plays an important role in place cell firing. In addition,
broad-sense CVNNs such as quaternion and Clifford neural networks, as
well as kernel and reservoir approaches, underpin unique new directions
in color-information treatment, robotics and control.
