Abstract Although in conventional models of cortical processing, object recognition and spatial properties are processed separately in ventral and dorsal cortical visual pathways respectively, some recent studies have shown that representations associated with both objects' identity (of shape) and space are present in both visual pathways. However, it is still unclear whether the presence of identity and spatial properties in both pathways have functional roles. In our study, we have tried to answer this question through computational modeling. Our simulation results show that both a model ventral and dorsal pathway, separately trained to do object and spatial recognition, respectively, each actively retained information about both identity and space. In addition, we show that these networks retained different amounts and kinds of identity and spatial information. As a result, our modeling suggests that two separate cortical visual pathways for identity and space (1) actively retain information about both identity and space (2) retain information about identity and space differently and (3) that this differently retained information about identity and space in the two pathways may be necessary to accurately and optimally recognize and localize objects. Further, modeling results suggests these findings are robust and do not strongly depend on the specific structures of the neural networks.

The chromatic aberration estimations of touch panel (TP) film by using neural networks are presented in this paper. The neural networks with error back-propagation (BP) learning algorithm were used to catch the complex relationship between the chromatic aberration, i.e., L.A.B. values, and the relative parameters of TP decoration film. An artificial intelligent (AI) estimator based on neural model for the estimation of physical property of TP film is expected to be developed. From the simulation results shown, the estimations of chromatic aberration of TP film are very accurate. In other words, such an AI estimator is quite promising and potential in commercial using.

Simulation Results

Biological CPG (central pattern generator) is responsible for the generation of animals' rhythmic motion such as hopping and running. In this paper, a novel feedback-based CPG control method is proposed, in which output of the CPG network is totally activated and contained by sensory feedbacks. The network responses to environment changes quickly with multi-feedbacks included, and has strong adaption to disturbance and non-flat terrain. This control method is applied to the controlling of a single-legged hopping robot to show the effectiveness of the approach. The simulation results prove that this control mechanism closely couples environment and robot motion, and dynamically stable hopping emerges from feedbacks contained in the neural networks.

The goal of the present research is to contribute to the detection of tax fraud concerning personal income tax returns (IRPF, in Spanish) filed in Spain, through the use of Machine Learning advanced predictive tools, by applying Multilayer Perceptron neural network (MLP) models. The possibilities springing from these techniques have been applied to a broad range of personal income return data supplied by the Institute of Fiscal Studies (IEF). The use of the neural networks enabled taxpayer segmentation as well as calculation of the probability concerning an individual taxpayer’s propensity to attempt to evade taxes. The results showed that the selected model has an efficiency rate of 84.3%, implying an improvement in relation to other models utilized in tax fraud detection. The proposal can be generalized to quantify an individual’s propensity to commit fraud with regards to other kinds of taxes. These models will support tax offices to help them arrive at the best decisions regarding action plans to combat tax fraud.

Using Data

Neural networks can approximate data because of owning many compact non-linear layers. In high-dimensional space, due to the curse of dimensionality, data distribution becomes sparse, causing that it is difficulty to provide sufficient information. Hence, the task becomes even harder if neural networks approximate data in high-dimensional space. To address this issue, according to the Lipschitz condition, the two deviations, i.e., the deviation of the neural networks trained using high-dimensional functions, and the deviation of high-dimensional functions approximation data, are derived. This purpose of doing this is to improve the ability of approximation high-dimensional space using neural networks. Experimental results show that the neural networks trained using high-dimensional functions outperforms that of using data in the capability of approximation data in high-dimensional space. We find that the neural networks trained using high-dimensional functions more suitable for high-dimensional space than that of using data, so that there is no need to retain sufficient data for neural networks training. Our findings suggests that in high-dimensional space, by tuning hidden layers of neural networks, this is hard to have substantial positive effects on improving precision of approximation data.

Sensing Performance

Cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) is an important topic due to its capacity to solve the issue of the hidden terminal. However, the sensing performance of CSS is still poor, especially in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) situations. In this paper, convolutional neural networks (CNN) are considered to extract the features of the observed signal and, as a consequence, improve the sensing performance. More specifically, a novel two-dimensional dataset of the received signal is established and three classical CNN (LeNet, AlexNet and VGG-16)-based CSS schemes are trained and analyzed on the proposed dataset. In addition, sensing performance comparisons are made between the proposed CNN-based CSS schemes and the AND, OR, majority voting-based CSS schemes. The simulation results state that the sensing accuracy of the proposed schemes is greatly improved and the network depth helps with this.

The localization of multiple scattering objects is performed while using scattered waves. An up-to-date approach: neural networks are used to estimate the corresponding locations. In the scattering phenomenon under investigation, we assume known incident plane waves, fully reflecting balls with known diameters and measurement data of the scattered wave on one fixed segment. The training data are constructed while using the simulation package μ-diff in Matlab. The structure of the neural networks, which are widely used for similar purposes, is further developed. A complex locally connected layer is the main compound of the proposed setup. With this and an appropriate preprocessing of the training data set, the number of parameters can be kept at a relatively low level. As a result, using a relatively large training data set, the unknown locations of the objects can be estimated effectively.

This paper presents an efficient neural network-based method for fault diagnosis in photovoltaic arrays. The proposed method was elaborated on three main steps: the data-feeding step, the fault-modeling step, and the decision step. The first step consists of feeding the real meteorological and electrical data to the neural networks, namely solar irradiance, panel temperature, photovoltaic-current, and photovoltaic-voltage. The second step consists of modeling a healthy mode of operation and five additional faulty operational modes; the modeling process is carried out using two networks of artificial neural networks. From this step, six classes are obtained, where each class corresponds to a predefined model, namely, the faultless scenario and five faulty scenarios. The third step involves the diagnosis decision about the system’s state. Based on the results from the above step, two probabilistic neural networks will classify each generated data according to the six classes. The obtained results show that the developed method can effectively detect different types of faults and classify them. Besides, this method still achieves high performances even in the presence of noises. It provides a diagnosis even in the presence of data injected at reduced real-time, which proves its robustness.
