The paper describes an approach for the optimal placement of sensors in composite beam structures for online detection of damage. The ability to identify damage is based on establishing a mapping between the charactgeristics of specific damage mechanisms (location and extent) such as delamination, fiber breakage, and matrix cracking, and strain measurements at the selected sensor locations; a trained neural network is proposed as a tool to generate this mapping. The design problem considered in the present paper was to place the least number of sensors in the structure so that the ability of the neural network to predict the extent and location of damage is not compromised. The optimization problem involved a mix of discrete and integer variables, and a genetic algorithm was used as the search tool.

AbstractWe study the approximation of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs for short) with a constraint on the gains process. We first discretize the constraint by applying a so-called facelift operator at times of a grid. We show that this discretely constrained BSDE converges to the continuously constrained one as the mesh grid converges to zero. We then focus on the approximation of the discretely constrained BSDE. For that we adopt a machine learning approach. We show that the facelift can be approximated by an optimization problem over a class of neural networks under constraints on the neural network and its derivative. We then derive an algorithm converging to the discretely constrained BSDE as the number of neurons goes to infinity. We end by numerical experiments.

The question about modern intelligent information processing methods usage for a ball mill filling level evaluation is considered. Vibration acceleration signal has been measured on a mill laboratory model for that purpose. It is made with accelerometer attached to a mill pin. The conclusion is made that mill filling level can not be measured with the help of such signal amplitude only. So this signal spectrum processed by a neural network is used. A training set for the neural network is formed with the help of spectral analysis methods. Trained neural network is able to find the correlation between mill pin vibration acceleration signal and mill filling level. Test set is formed from the data which is not included into the training set. This set is used in order to evaluate the network ability to evaluate the mill filling degree. The neural network guarantees no more than 7% error in the evaluation of mill filling level.

The article discusses one of the latest ways to colorize a black and white image using deep learning methods. For colorization, a convolutional neural network with a large number of layers (Deep convolutional) is used, the architecture of which includes a ResNet model. This model was pre-trained on images of the ImageNet dataset. A neural network receives a black and white image and returns a colorized color. Since, due to the characteristics of ResNet, an input multiple of 255 is received, a program was written that, using frames, enlarges the image for the required size. During the operation of the neural network, the CIE Lab color model is used, which allows to separate the black and white component of the image from the color. For training the neural network, the Place 365 dataset was used, containing 365 different classes, such as animals, landscape elements, people, and so on. The training was carried out on the Nvidia GTX 1080 video card. The result was a trained neural network capable of colorizing images of any size and format. As example we had a speed of 0.08 seconds and an image of 256 by 256 pixels in size. In connection with the concept of the dataset used for training, the resulting model is focused on the recognition of natural landscapes and urban areas.

The classification of terrain in terms of passability plays a significant role in the process of military terrain assessment. It involves classifying selected terrain to specific classes (GO, SLOW-GO, NO-GO). In this article, the problem of terrain classification to the respective category of passability was solved by applying artificial neural networks (multilayer perceptron) to generate a continuous Index of Passability (IOP). The neural networks defined this factor for primary fields in two sizes (1000 × 1000 m and 100 × 100 m) based on the land cover elements obtained from Vector Smart Map (VMap) Level 2 and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). The work used a feedforward neural network consisting of three layers. The paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the reliability of the neural network parameters, taking into account the number of neurons, learning algorithm, activation functions and input data configuration. The studies and tests carried out have shown that a well-trained neural network can automate the process of terrain classification in terms of passability conditions.

Predicting the axle temperature states of the high-speed train under operation in advance and evaluating working states of axle bearings is important for improving the safety of train operation and reducing accident risks. The method of monitoring the axle temperature of a train under operation, combined with the neural network prediction method, was applied. A total of 36 sensors were arranged at key positions such as the axle bearings of the train gearbox and the driving end of the traction motor. The positions of the sensors were symmetrical. Axle temperature measurements over 11 days with more than 38,000 km were obtained. The law of the change of the axle temperature in each section was obtained in different environments. The resultant data from the previous 10 days were used to train the neural network model, and a total of 800 samples were randomly selected from eight typical locations for the prediction of axle temperature over the following 3 min. In addition, the results predicted by the neural network method and the GM (1,1) method were compared. The results show that the predicted temperature of the trained neural network model is in good agreement with the experimental temperature, with higher precision than that of the GM (1,1) method, indicating that the proposed method is sufficiently accurate and can be a reliable tool for predicting axle temperature.

This paper proposes a method for reconstructing a depth map obtained using a stereo pair image. The proposed approach is based on a geometric model for the synthesis of patches. The entire image is preliminarily divided into blocks of different size, where large blocks are used to restore homogeneous areas, and small blocks are used to restore details of the image structure. Lost pixels are recovered by copying the pixel values from the source based on the similarity criterion. We used a trained neural network to select the “best like” patch. Experimental results show that the proposed method gives better results than other modern methods, both in subjective and objective measurements for reconstructing a depth map.

Traction Power

This paper presents the application of machine learning systems based on neural networks to model the energy consumption of electric metro trains, as a first step in a research project that aims to optimise the energy consumed for traction in the Metro Network of Valencia (Spain). An experimental dataset was gathered and used for training. Four input variables (train speed and acceleration, track slope and curvature) and one output variable (traction power) were considered. The fully trained neural network shows good agreement with the target data, with relative mean square error around 21%. Additional tests with independent datasets also give good results (relative mean square error = 16%). The neural network has been applied to five simple case studies to assess its performance – and has proven to correctly model basic consumption trends (e.g. the influence of the slope) – and to properly reproduce acceleration, holding and braking, although it tends to slightly underestimate the energy regenerated during braking. Overall, the neural network provides a consistent estimation of traction power and the global energy consumption of metro trains, and thus may be used as a modelling tool during further stages of research.

Proxy servers used around the globe are typically graded and built for small businesses to large enterprises. This does not dismiss any of the current efforts to keep the general consumer of an electronic device safe from malicious websites or denying youth of obscene content. With the emergence of machine learning, we can utilize the power to have smart security instantiated around the population's everyday life. In this work, we present a simple solution of providing a web proxy to each user of mobile devices or any networked computer powered by a neural network. The idea is to have a proxy server to handle the functionality to allow safe websites to be rendered per request. When a website request is made and not identified in the pre-determined website database, the proxy server will utilize a trained neural network to determine whether or not to render that website. The neural network will be trained on a vast collection of sampled websites by category. The neural network needs to be trained constantly to improve decision making as new websites are visited.

Nonlinear Feature

In this chapter, we propose a new information hiding and extracting method without embedding any information into the target content by using a nonlinear feature extraction scheme trained on frequency domain. The proposed method can detect hidden bit patterns from the content by processing the coefficients of the selected feature subblocks to the trained neural network. The coefficients are taken from the frequency domain of the decomposed target content by frequency transform. The bit patterns are retrieved from the network only with the proper extraction keys provided. The extraction keys, in the proposed method, are the coordinates of the selected feature subblocks and the neural network weights generated by the supervised learning of the neural network. The supervised learning uses the coefficients of the selected feature subblocks as the set of input values, and the hidden bit patterns are used as the teacher signal values of the neural network, which is the watermark signal in the proposed method. With our proposed method, we are able to introduce a watermark scheme with no damage to the target content.
