The aim of the study was to test applycability of neural networks to classification of pancreatic intraductal proliferative lesions basing on nuclear features, especially chromatin texture. Material for the study was obtained from patients operated on for pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis and other tumours requiring pancreatic resection. Intraductal lesions were classified as low and high grade as previously described. The image analysis system consisted of a microscope, CCD camera combined with a PC and AnalySIS v. 2.11 software. The following texture characteristics were measured: variance of grey levels, features extracted from the grey levels correlation matrix and mean values, variance and standard deviation of the energy obtained from Laws matrices. Furthermore we used moments derived invariants and basic geometric data such as surface area, the minimum and maximum diameter and shape factor. The sets of data were randomly divided into training and testing groups. The training of the network using the back‐propagation algorithm, and the final classification of data was carried out with a neural network simulator SNNS v. 4.1. We studied the efficacy of networks containing from one to three hidden layers. Using the best network, containing three hidden layers, the rate of correct classification of nuclei was 73%, and the rate of misdiagnosis was 3%; in 24% the network response was ambiguous. The present findings may serve as a starting point in search for methods facilitating early diagnosis of ductal pancreatic carcinoma.

The biological kingdom ‘Animalia’ is composed of multi cellular eukaryotic organisms. Most of the animal species exhibit bilateral symmetry. The hierarchy of biological classification has eight taxonomy ranks. The top position in the hierarchy is occupied by the ‘domain’ and ending with the lowest position occupied by ‘species’. The classification of animal kingdom includes, Porifera, Coelenterata, Platyhelminthes, Aschelminthes, Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Echinodermata and Chordata. Manual identification of Phylum or class for each and every species, is very tedious, because there exists nearly a millions of species categorized under various classes. Hence an automated system is proposed to be developed using image segmentation and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) trained with Back Propagation Algorithm (BPA) which is capable of assisting the scientists and researchers for class identification. This system will be useful in Museums and Archeological departments, where a huge variety of species are maintained. The classification efficiency of the proposed system is 89.1%.

Back Propagation Algorithm

AbstractDeep neural networks are among the most widely applied machine learning tools showing outstanding performance in a broad range of tasks. We present a method for folding a deep neural network of arbitrary size into a single neuron with multiple time-delayed feedback loops. This single-neuron deep neural network comprises only a single nonlinearity and appropriately adjusted modulations of the feedback signals. The network states emerge in time as a temporal unfolding of the neuron’s dynamics. By adjusting the feedback-modulation within the loops, we adapt the network’s connection weights. These connection weights are determined via a back-propagation algorithm, where both the delay-induced and local network connections must be taken into account. Our approach can fully represent standard Deep Neural Networks (DNN), encompasses sparse DNNs, and extends the DNN concept toward dynamical systems implementations. The new method, which we call Folded-in-time DNN (Fit-DNN), exhibits promising performance in a set of benchmark tasks.

Abstract Predicting rainfall can prevent and mitigate damages caused by its deficit or excess, besides providing necessary tools for adequate planning for the use of water. This research aimed to predict the monthly rainfall, one month in advance, in four municipalities in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, using artificial neural networks (ANN) trained with different climate variables, and to indicate the suitability of such variables as inputs to these models. The models were developed through the MATLAB® software version R2011a, using the NNTOOL toolbox. The ANN’s were trained by the multilayer perceptron architecture and the Feedforward and Back propagation algorithm, using two combinations of input data were used, with 2 and 6 variables, and one combination of input data with 3 of the 6 variables most correlated to observed rainfall from 1970 to 1999, to predict the rainfall from 2000 to 2009. The most correlated variables to the rainfall of the following month are the sequential number corresponding to the month, total rainfall and average compensated temperature, and the best performance was obtained with these variables. Furthermore, it was concluded that the performance of the models was satisfactory; however, they presented limitations for predicting months with high rainfall.

Automatic Speech reconstruction system is a topic of interest of many researchers. Since many online courses are come into the picture, so recent researchers are concentrating on speech accent recognition. Many works have been done in this field. In this paper speech accent recognition of Tamil speech from different zones of Tamilnadu is addressed. Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and Viterbi algorithms are very popularly used algorithms. Researchers have worked with Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) to identify speech as well as speech accent. In this paper speech accent features are identified by modified MFCC algorithm. The classification of features is done by back propagation algorithm.

Feed Forward Neural Networks

The goal of this chapter is to enable a nonholonomic mobile robot to track a specified trajectory with minimum tracking error. Towards that end, an adaptive P controller is designed whose gain parameters are tuned by using two feed-forward neural networks. Back-propagation algorithm is chosen for online learning process and posture-tracking errors are considered as error values for adjusting weights of neural networks. The tracking performance of the controller is illustrated for different trajectories with computer simulation using Matlab/Simulink. In addition, open-loop response of an experimental mobile robot is investigated for these different trajectories. Finally, the performance of the proposed controller is compared to a standard PID controller. The simulation results show that “adaptive P controller using neural networks” has superior tracking performance at adapting large disturbances for the mobile robot.

The Neural Networks

The application of theoretical neural networks to preprocessed images was investigated with the aim of developing a computational recognition system. The neural networks were trained by means of a back-propagation algorithm, to respond selectively to computer-generated bars and edges. The receptive fields of the trained networks were then mapped, in terms of both their synaptic weights and their responses to spot stimuli. There was a direct relationship between the pattern of weights on the inputs to the hidden units (the units in the intermediate layer between the input and the output units), and their receptive field as mapped by spot stimuli. This relationship was not sustained at the level of the output units in that their spot-mapped responses failed to correspond either with the weights of the connections from the hidden units to the output units, or with a qualitative analysis of the networks. Part of this discrepancy may be ascribed to the output function used in the back-propagation algorithm.
