Abstract As a fundamental component of biological neurons, dendrites have been proven to have crucial effects in neuronal activities. Single neurons with dendrite structures show high signal processing capability that is analogous to a multilayer perceptron, whereas oversimplified point neuron models are still prevalent in AI algorithms and neuromorphic systems and fundamentally limit their efficiency and functionality of the systems constructed. In this study, we propose a dual-mode dendritic device based on electrolyte gated transistor, which can be operated to generate both supralinear and sublinear current-voltage responses when receiving input voltage pulses. We propose and demonstrate that the dual-mode dendritic devices can be used as a dendritic processing block between weight matrices and output neurons so as to enhance the expression ability of the neural networks. A dual-mode dendrites-enhanced neural network is therefore constructed with only two trainable parameters in the second layer, thus achieving 1000× reduction in the amount of second layer parameter compared to multilayer perceptron. After training by back propagation, the network reaches 90.1% accuracy in MNIST handwritten digits classification, showing advantage of the present dual-mode dendritic devices in building highly efficient neuromorphic computing.

Recognizing odor mixtures is rather difficult in artificial odor recognition system, especially when the number of sensors is limited. Classification is further hampered if the number of unlearned odor mixtures classes is increased. We developed a fuzzy-neuro multilayer perceptron as a pattern classifier and compared its recognition with that of the Probabilistic Neural Network and Back-propagation Neural Network. To enhance the recognition capability of the system, we then optimized fuzzy-neuro multilayer perceptron topology by deleting its weak weight connections using Genetic Algorithms. Experimental results show that the optimized fuzzy-neuro multilayer perceptron has the highest recognition in 18 classes of two-mixture odors with almost 98.2% when using hardware with 16 sensors, compared to 83.3% when using 8 sensors.

This paper presents a solar power modelling method using artificial neural networks (ANNs). Two neural network structures, namely, general regression neural network (GRNN) feedforward back propagation (FFBP), have been used to model a photovoltaic panel output power and approximate the generated power. Both neural networks have four inputs and one output. The inputs are maximum temperature, minimum temperature, mean temperature, and irradiance; the output is the power. The data used in this paper started from January 1, 2006, until December 31, 2010. The five years of data were split into two parts: 2006–2008 and 2009-2010; the first part was used for training and the second part was used for testing the neural networks. A mathematical equation is used to estimate the generated power. At the end, both of these networks have shown good modelling performance; however, FFBP has shown a better performance comparing with GRNN.

Abstract A model is developed to predict the weld lines in Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) process. In this model, the preforms are assumed to be thin flat with isotropic and orthotropic permeabilities. The position of the weld lines formed by multiple specified inlet ports are predicted using a neural network-based back propagation algorithm. The neural network was trained with data obtained from simulation and actual molding experimentation. Part geometry is decomposed into smaller sections based on the position of the weld lines. The variety of preforms and processing conditions are used to verify the model. Applying the neural networks reduced the amount of computational time by several orders of magnitude compared with simulations. The models developed in this study can be effectively utilized in iterative optimization methods where use of numerical simulation models is cumbersome.

The aim of this paper is to design feed forward neural network for solving second-order singular boundary value problems in ordinary differential equations. The neural networks use the principle of back propagation with different training algorithms such as quasi-Newton, Levenberg-Marquardt, and Bayesian Regulation. Two examples are considered to show that effectiveness of using the network techniques for solving this type of equations. The convergence properties of the technique and accuracy of the interpolation technique are considered.

Neural networks were used to find the inverse kinematics of a two-link planar and three-link manipulator arms. The neural networks utilised were multi-layered perceptions with a back-propagation training algorithm. Because of the redundancy in the manipulators studied, this work used lookup tables for the different configurations of the manipulator arm.
