Simulation Results

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.

Universal Approximators

This article is a survey of recent advances on multilayer neural networks. The first section is a short summary on multilayer neural networks, their history, their architecture and their learning rule, the well-known back-propagation. In the following section, several theorems are cited, which present one-hidden-layer neural networks as universal approximators. The next section points out that two hidden layers are often required for exactly realizing d-dimensional dichotomies. Defining the frontier between one-hidden-layer and two-hidden-layer networks is still an open problem. Several bounds on the size of a multilayer network which learns from examples are presented and we enhance the fact that, even if all can be done with only one hidden layer, more often, things can be done better with two or more hidden layers. Finally, this assertion 'is supported by the behaviour of multilayer neural networks in two applications: prediction of pollution and odor recognition modelling.

Fixed order neural networks (FONN), such as high order neural network (HONN), in which its architecture is developed from zero order of activation function and joint weight, regulates only the number of weight and their value. As a result, this network only produces a fixed order model or control level. These obstacles, which affect preceeding architectures, have been performing finite ability to adapt uncertainty character of real world plant, such as driving dynamics and its desired control performance. This paper introduces a new concept of neural network neuron. In this matter, exploiting discrete z-function builds new neuron activation. Instead of zero order joint weight matrices, the discrete z-function weight matrix will be provided to realize uncertainty or undetermined real word plant and desired adaptive control system that their order has probably been changing. Instead of using bias, an initial condition value is developed. Neural networks using new neurons is called Varied Order Neural Network (VONN). For optimization process, updating order, coefficient and initial value of node activation function uses GA; while updating joint weight, it applies both back propagation (combined LSE-gauss Newton) and NPSO. To estimate the number of hidden layer, constructive back propagation (CBP) was also applied. Thorough simulation was conducted to compare the control performance between FONN and MONN. In order to control, vehicle stability was equipped by electronics stability program (ESP), electronics four wheel steering (4-EWS), and active suspension (AS). 2000, 4000, 6000, 8000 data that are from TODS, a hidden layer, 3 input nodes, 3 output nodes were provided to train and test the network of both the uncertainty model and its adaptive control system. The result of simulation, therefore, shows that stability parameter such as yaw rate error, vehicle side slip error, and rolling angle error produces better performance control in the form of smaller performance index using FDNN than those using MONN.

Lockers are one of the facilities that people use to store stuff. Artificial neural networks are computational systems where architecture and operations are inspired by the knowledge of biological neurons in the brain, which is one of the artificial representations of the human brain that always tries to stimulate the learning process of the human brain. One of the utilization of artificial neural network is for pattern recognition. The face of a person must be different but sometimes has a shape similar to the face of others, because the facial pattern is a good pattern to try to be recognized by using artificial neural networks. Pattern recognition on artificial neural network can be done by back propagation method. Back propagation method consists of input layer, hidden layer and output layer.

Extreme learning machine (ELM) is a learning algorithm for single-hidden layer feedforward neural networks. In theory, this algorithm is able to provide good generalization capability at extremely fast learning speed. Comparative studies of benchmark function approximation problems revealed that ELM can learn thousands of times faster than conventional neural network (NN) and can produce good generalization performance in most cases. Unfortunately, the research on damage localization using ELM is limited in the literature. In this chapter, the ELM is extended to the domain of damage localization of plate structures. Its effectiveness in comparison with typical neural networks such as back-propagation neural network (BPNN) and least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) is illustrated through experimental studies. Comparative investigations in terms of learning time and localization accuracy are carried out in detail. It is shown that ELM paves a new way in the domain of plate structure health monitoring. Both advantages and disadvantages of using ELM are discussed.

AbstractThis paper examines the architecture of back-propagation neural networks used as approximators by addressing the interrelationship between the number of training pairs and the number of input, output, and hidden layer nodes required for a good approximation. It concentrates on nets with an input layer, one hidden layer, and one output layer. It shows that many of the currently proposed schemes for selecting network architecture for such nets are deficient. It demonstrates in numerous examples that overdetermined neural networks tend to give good approximations over a region of interest, while underdetermined networks give approximations which can satisfy the training pairs but may give poor approximations over that region of interest. A scheme is presented that adjusts the number of hidden layer nodes in a neural network so as to give an overdetermined approximation. The advantages and disadvantages of using multiple output nodes are discussed. Guidelines for selecting the number of output nodes are presented.

Abstract This article presents an application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and multiple regression models for estimating mean annual maximum discharge (index flood) at ungauged sites. Both approaches were tested for 145 small basins in Slovakia in areas ranging from 20 to 300 km2. Using the objective clustering method, the catchments were divided into ten homogeneous pooling groups; for each pooling group, mutually independent predictors (catchment characteristics) were selected for both models. The neural network was applied as a simple multilayer perceptron with one hidden layer and with a back propagation learning algorithm. Hyperbolic tangents were used as an activation function in the hidden layer. Estimating index floods by the multiple regression models were based on deriving relationships between the index floods and catchment predictors. The efficiencies of both approaches were tested by the Nash-Sutcliffe and a correlation coefficients. The results showed the comparative applicability of both models with slightly better results for the index floods achieved using the ANNs methodology.

Stage Analysis

This article studies the relationship between popular technical analysis indicators and the returns of the Italian S&P MIB, active as the index of the Borsa Italiana until 2009. The study innovates by applying a mixed analysis that combines classic signals offered by the indicators with the power of neural networks. The neural algorithms are applied to study the target technical analysis indicators with more accurate regression power and efficient error minimization. Through a simple hidden-layer, back-propagation algorithm, regressions give interesting results in terms of the forecasting potential of the analyzed indicators. The final step of the study is the conclusions section, commenting on results and summarizing the indications from the multivariate stage analysis. The article also comments on the power of the indicators to reveal potential investment opportunities. The results of the study are backdated but still very significant considering the revived interest of the financial community toward the application of adaptive systems to the solution of financial issues.

This paper aims to find the optimal set of initial weights to enhance the accuracy of artificial neural networks (ANNs) by using genetic algorithms (GA). The sample in this study included 228 patients with first low-trauma hip fracture and 215 patients without hip fracture, both of them were interviewed with 78 questions. We used logistic regression to select 5 important factors (i.e., bone mineral density, experience of fracture, average hand grip strength, intake of coffee, and peak expiratory flow rate) for building artificial neural networks to predict the probabilities of hip fractures. Three-layer (one hidden layer) ANNs models with back-propagation training algorithms were adopted. The purpose in this paper is to find the optimal initial weights of neural networks via genetic algorithm to improve the predictability. Area under the ROC curve (AUC) was used to assess the performance of neural networks. The study results showed the genetic algorithm obtained an AUC of0.858±0.00493on modeling data and0.802±0.03318on testing data. They were slightly better than the results of our previous study (0.868±0.00387and0.796±0.02559, resp.). Thus, the preliminary study for only using simple GA has been proved to be effective for improving the accuracy of artificial neural networks.
