Predictive Quality

The application of statistical modeling techniques has been an intensely pursued area of research in the field of software engineering. The goal has been to model software quality and use that information to better understand the software development process. Neural network modeling methods have recently been applied to this field. The results reported indicate that neural network models have better predictive quality than some statistical models when predicting reliability and the number of faults. In this paper, we will investigate the application of principal components analysis to neural network modeling as a way of improving the predictive quality of neural network quality models. Using data we collected from a large commercial software system, we developed a multiple regression model using the principal components. Then, we trained two neural nets, one with raw data, and one with principal components. Then, we compare the predictive quality of the three competing models for a variety of quality measures.

Neural Network Models

A novel methodology is proposed for the development of neural network models for complex engineering systems exhibiting nonlinearity. This method performs neural network modeling by first establishing some fundamental nonlinear functions from a priori engineering knowledge, which are then constructed and coded into appropriate chromosome representations. Given a suitable fitness function, using evolutionary approaches such as genetic algorithms, a population of chromosomes evolves for a certain number of generations to finally produce a neural network model best fitting the system data. The objective is to improve the transparency of the neural networks, i.e. to produce physically meaningful "white box" neural network model with better generalization performance. In this paper, the problem formulation, the neural network configuration, and the associated optimization software are discussed in detail. This methodology is then applied to a practical real-world system to illustrate its effectiveness.

Nowadays the scientific developments connected with increase of readiness of the medical institutions, rendering primary medical and sanitary aid, to work with application of methods and tools of lean technologies for increase of level of availability and quality of medical aid to the population of Russia acquire urgency. The aim of the study is to assess the prognostic importance of common neural network models to analyze the value components of the reception of a local therapist, affecting the level of satisfaction with the quality of medical care, from the position of management to achieve the criteria of a new model of a medical organization using lean technologies. The following types of neural network models were studied: based on a multilayer perceptron, a radial basis function, and a generalized regression neural network. Models based on multiple linear regression equations were used as a control group of networks. In total, 50 artificial neural networks were obtained and analyzed. The effectiveness of neural network models was evaluated based on the following parameters: the ratio of standard deviations of the forecast error and the source data, as well as the Pearson correlation between the observed and predicted indicators of the model. Among the studied neural network models, models based on a multi-layer perceptron and generalized regression neural networks have the highest quality of prediction, which makes them promising for use in systems that monitor and predict the structure of the value component of the main processes in medical organizations for patients. The proposed neural network models can become the basis for creating information management systems that monitor the achievement of performance criteria for a new model of a medical organization that uses lean technologies.

Objective. Study of the validity and reliability of the discourse approach for the psycholinguistic understanding of the nature, structure, and features of the linguistic consciousness functioning. Materials & Methods. This paper analyzes artificial neural network models built on the corpus of texts, which were obtained in the process of experimental research of the coronavirus quarantine concept as a new category of linguistic consciousness. The methodology of feedforward artificial neural networks (multilayer perceptron) was used in order to assess the possibility of predicting the leading texts semantics based on the discourses ranks and their place in the respective linear sequence. Same baseline parameters were used to predict respondents' self-assessments of changes in their psychological well-being and in daily life routine during the quarantine, as well as to predict their preferences of the quarantine strategies. The study relied on basic ideas about discourse as a meaning constituted by the dispersion of other meanings (Foucault). The same dispersion mechanism realizes itself in interdiscourse interaction, forming a discursive formation at a higher level. The method of T-units (Hunt) was used to identify and count discourses in the texts. The ranking of discourses was provided based on the criterion of their semantic-syntactic autonomy. Results. The conducted neural network modeling revealed a high accuracy in predicting the work of the linguistic consciousness functions associated with retrospective self-assessment and anticipatory imagination of the respondents. Another result of this modeling is a partial confirmation of the assumption concerning existence a relationship between the structural parameters of the discursive field (the rank of the discourses and their place in the respective linear sequence) and the leading semantics of the text. Conclusions. A discourse approach to the study of linguistic consciousness, understanding of its structure and functioning features seems to be reasonably appropriate. The implementation of the approach presupposes the need to form a base of linguistic corpora with the inclusion in each text markup of such parameters as: the presence of specific discourses, their ranks, positions in the linear sequence of discourses.

Recently, deep learning has been successfully applied to robotic grasp detection. Based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), there have been lots of end-to-end detection approaches. But end-to-end approaches have strict requirements for the dataset used for training the neural network models and it’s hard to achieve in practical use. Therefore, we proposed a two-stage approach using particle swarm optimizer (PSO) candidate estimator and CNN to detect the most likely grasp. Our approach achieved an accuracy of 92.8% on the Cornell Grasp Dataset, which leaped into the front ranks of the existing approaches and is able to run at real-time speeds. After a small change of the approach, we can predict multiple grasps per object in the meantime so that an object can be grasped in a variety of ways.

Real world financial data is often discontinuous and non-smooth. Accuracy will be a problem, if we attempt to use neural networks to simulate such functions. Neural network group models can perform this function with more accuracy. Both Polynomial Higher Order Neural Network Group (PHONNG) and Trigonometric polynomial Higher Order Neural Network Group (THONNG) models are studied in this chapter. These PHONNG and THONNG models are open box, convergent models capable of approximating any kind of piecewise continuous function to any degree of accuracy. Moreover, they are capable of handling higher frequency, higher order nonlinear, and discontinuous data. Results obtained using Polynomial Higher Order Neural Network Group and Trigonometric polynomial Higher Order Neural Network Group financial simulators are presented, which confirm that PHONNG and THONNG group models converge without difficulty, and are considerably more accurate (0.7542% - 1.0715%) than neural network models such as using Polynomial Higher Order Neural Network (PHONN) and Trigonometric polynomial Higher Order Neural Network (THONN) models.
