In the neural network literature, many preprocessing techniques, such as feature de-correlation, input unbiasing and normalization, are suggested to accelerate multilayer perceptron training. In this paper, we show that a network trained with an original data set and one trained with a linear transformation of the original data will go through the same training dynamics, as long as they start from equivalent states. Thus preprocessing techniques may not be helpful and are merely equivalent to using a different weight set to initialize the network. Theoretical analyses of such preprocessing approaches are given for conjugate gradient, back propagation and the Newton method. In addition, an efficient Newton-like training algorithm is proposed for hidden layer training. Experiments on various data sets confirm the theoretical analyses and verify the improvement of the new algorithm.

A good model is necessary in order to design a controller of a system off-line. It is especially beneficial in the implementation of new advanced control schemes in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Considering the safety and benefit of an off-line tuning of the UAV controllers, this paper identifies a dynamic MIMO UAV nonlinear system which is derived based on the collection of input-output data taken from a test flights (36250 samples data). These input-output sample flight data are grouped into two flight data sets. The first flight data set, a chirp signal, is used for training the neural network in order to determine parameters (weights) for the network. Validation of the network is performed using the second data set, which is not used for training, and is a representation of UAV circular flight movement. An artificial neural network is trained using the training data set and thereafter the network is excited by the second set input data set. The predicted outputs based on our proposed Neural Network model is similar to the desired outputs (roll, pitch and yaw) which has been produced by real UAV system.

The speed of learning in neural network environment is considered as the most effective parameter spatially in large data sets. This paper tries to minimize the time required for the neural network to fully understand and learn about the data by standardize input data. The paper showed that the Z-Score standardization of input data significantly decreased the number of epoochs required for the network to learn. This paper also proved that the binary dataset is a serious limitation for the convergence of neural network, so the standardization is a must in such case where the 0’s inputs simply neglect the connections in the neural network. The data set used in this paper are features extracted from gel electrophoresis images and that open the door for using artificial intelligence in such areas.

The research results of signal recognition using neural networks are presented. A multilayer perceptron with back-propagation error is implemented on Java. The optimal number of neurons in the hidden layer is selected for building an effective architecture of the neural network. Training network on different sets of signals with noise allowed teaching her to work with distorted information, which is typical for non-destructive testing in real conditions. Experiments were performed to analyze MSE values and accuracy.

Рассматривается процедура выбора структуры и параметров нейронной сети для классификации набора данных, известного как Ирисы Фишера, который включает в себя данные о 150 экземплярах растений трех различных видов. Предложен подход к решению данной задачи без использования дополнительных программных средств и мощных нейросетевых пакетов с использованием только средств стандартного браузера ОС. Это потребовало реализации ряда процедур на JavaScript c их подгрузкой в разработанную интерфейсную HTML-страницу. Исследование большого числа различных структур многослойных нейронных сетей, обучаемых на основе алгоритма обратного распространения ошибки, позволило выбрать для тестового набора данных структуру нейронной сети всего с одним скрытым слоем из трех нейронов. Это существенно упрощает реализацию классификатора Ирисов Фишера, позволяя его оформить в виде загружаемой с сервера HTML-страницы. The procedure for selecting the structure and parameters of the neural network for the classification of a data set known as Iris Fisher, which includes data on 150 plant specimens of three different species, is considered. An approach to solving this problem without using additional software and powerful neural network packages using only the tools of the standard OS browser is proposed. This required the implementation of a number of JavaScript procedures with their loading into the developed HTML interface page. The study of a large number of different structures of multilayer neural networks, trained on the basis of the back-propagation error algorithm, made it possible to choose the structure of a neural network with only one hidden layer of three neurons for a test dataset. This greatly simplifies the implementation of the Fisher Iris classifier, allowing it to be formatted as an HTML page downloaded from the server.

A Bayesian classifier for sparsity-promoting feature selection is developed in this paper, where a set of nonlinear mappings for the original data is performed as a pre-processing step. The linear classification model with such mappings from the original input space to a nonlinear transformation space can not only construct the nonlinear classification boundary, but also realize the feature selection for the original data. A zero-mean Gaussian prior with Gamma precision and a finite approximation of Beta process prior are used to promote sparsity in the utilization of features and nonlinear mappings in our model, respectively. We derive the Variational Bayesian (VB) inference algorithm for the proposed linear classifier. Experimental results based on the synthetic data set, measured radar data set, high-dimensional gene expression data set, and several benchmark data sets demonstrate the aggressive and robust feature selection capability and comparable classification accuracy of our method comparing with some other existing classifiers.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) inspection has become one of main methods for current transmission line inspection, but there are still some shortcomings such as slow detection speed, low efficiency, and inability for low light environment. To address these issues, this paper proposes a deep learning detection model based on You Only Look Once (YOLO) v3. On the one hand, the neural network structure is simplified, that is the three feature maps of YOLO v3 are pruned into two to meet specific detection requirements. Meanwhile, the K-means++ clustering method is used to calculate the anchor value of the data set to improve the detection accuracy. On the other hand, 1000 sets of power tower and insulator data sets are collected, which are inverted and scaled to expand the data set, and are fully optimized by adding different illumination and viewing angles. The experimental results show that this model using improved YOLO v3 can effectively improve the detection accuracy by 6.0%, flops by 8.4%, and the detection speed by about 6.0%.

Predicting the category of tumors and the types of the cancer in its early stage remains as a very essential process to identify depth of the disease and treatment available for it. The neural network that functions similar to the human nervous system is widely utilized in the tumor investigation and the cancer prediction. The paper presents the analysis of the performance of the neural networks such as the, FNN (Feed Forward Neural Networks), RNN (Recurrent Neural Networks) and the CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) investigating the tumors and predicting the cancer. The results obtained by evaluating the neural networks on the breast cancer Wisconsin original data set shows that the CNN provides 43 % better prediction than the FNN and 25% better prediction than the RNN.

A probabilistic neural network (PNN) speech recognition model based on the partition clustering algorithm is proposed in this paper. The most important advantage of PNN is that training is easy and instantaneous. Therefore, PNN is capable of dealing with real time speech recognition. Besides, in order to increase the performance of PNN, the selection of data set is one of the most important issues. In this paper, using the partition clustering algorithm to select data is proposed. The proposed model is tested on two data sets from the field of spoken Arabic numbers, with promising results. The performance of the proposed model is compared to single back propagation neural network and integrated back propagation neural network. The final comparison result shows that the proposed model performs better than the other two neural networks, and has an accuracy rate of 92.41%.
