This paper investigates the potential application of artificial neural networks in permanent deformation parameter identification for rockfill dams. Two kinds of neural network models, multilayer feedforward network (BP) and radial basis function (RBF) networks, are adopted to identify the parameters of seismic permanent deformation for Zipingpu Dam in China. The dynamic analysis is carried out by three-dimensional finite element method, and earthquake-induced permanent deformation is calculated by an equivalent nodal force method. Based on the sensitivity analysis of permanent deformation parameters, an objective function for network training is established by considering parameter sensitivity, which can improve the accuracy of parameter identification. By comparison, it is found that RBF outperforms the BP network in this problem. The proposed inverse analysis model for earth-rockfill dams can identify the seismic deformation parameters with just a small amount of sample designs, and much calculation time can be saved by this method.

The study examined the use of artificial neural network models to predict the exchange rate in Sudan through annual exchange rate data between the US dollar and the Sudanese pound. This study aimed to formulate the models of artificial neural networks in which the exchange rate can be predicted in the coming period. The importance of the study is that it is necessary to use modern models to predict instead of other classical models. The study hypothesized that the models of artificial neural networks have a high ability to predict the exchange rate. Use models of artificial neural networks. The most important results ability of artificial neural networks models to predict the exchange rate accurately, Form MLP (1-1-1) is the best model chosen for that purpose. The study recommended the development of the proposed model for long-term forecasting.

Neural Network Applications

The primary aim of this chapter is to present an overview of the artificial neural network basics and operation, architectures, and the major algorithms used for training the neural network models. As can be seen in subsequent chapters, neural networks have made many useful contributions to solve theoretical and practical problems in finance and manufacturing areas. The secondary aim here is therefore to provide a brief review of artificial neural network applications in finance and manufacturing areas.

Modelling Data

The artificial neural networks (ANNs) non-modeling methods were selected to optimize the preparation of loading norcantharidin chitosan nanoparticles (NPs) by ionic cross-linkage. A multiple regression model was constructed for fitting several preparation factors and each of the factor level values was arranged in the L9(34) design table and their linear weighted sum of the normalized value was taken as optimized object. A Back-Propagation (BP) network (3×7×2) in ANNs was created and trained for further checking the optimal results and the trained network was applied to simulate the experiment system and screen the optimal conditions. Finally, the best condition was obtained.

Abstract Our paper introduces a new technique for diagnosis of various heart diseases without the need of highly experts to investigate the electrocardiogram (ECG). Using the same electrodes of the ECG machine, it will be able to transmit directly the electrical activity inside the heart to a moving picture. Our technique is based on artificial intelligence algorithm using artificial neural networks (ANN). Finding the trans-membrane potential (TMP) inside the heart from the body surface potential (BSP) is known as the inverse problem of ECG. To have a unique solution for the inverse problem the data used should be obtained from a forward model. A three dimensional (3-D) model of cellular activation whole heart embedded in torso is simulated and solved using COMSOL Multiphysics software. In our previous paper, one ANN succeeded in displaying the wave propagation on the surface of a normal heart. In this paper, we used a configuration of ANNs to display different cases of heart with myocardial infarction (MI). To check the system accuracy, eight MI cases with different sizes and locations in the heart are simulated in the forward model. This configuration proved to be highly accurate in displaying each MI case -size and location- presenting the infarction as an area with no electrical activity.
