The structure of a self-ruling vehicle dependent on neural sophisticated network for route in obscure condition is proposed. The vehicle is equipped with an IR sensor for obstacle separation estimation, a GPS collector for goal data and heading position, L298 H-connect for driving the engines which runs the wheels; all interfaced to a controller unit. The smaller scale controller forms the data gained from the sensor and GPS to produce robot movement through neural based network. The neural network running inside the small scale controller is a multi-layer feed-forward network with back-engendering blunder calculation. The network is prepared disconnected with tangent-sigmoid and positive direct estimate as enactment work for neurons and is executed progressively with piecewise straight guess of tangent-sigmoid capacity. The programming of the miniaturized scale controller is finished by PIC C Compiler and the neural network is actualized utilizing MATLAB programming. Results have shown that up to twenty neurons can be actualized in shrouded layer with this method. The vehicle is tried with differing goal places in open air situations containing fixed as well as moving obstructions and is found to arrive at the set targets effectively and its yield exactness is about equivalent to that of the normal precision.

The work shows the role of hidden neurons in the multilayer feed-forward neural networks. The numeric expression of hidden neurons is usually determined in each case empirically. The methodology for determining the number of hidden neurons are described. The neural network based approach is analyzed using a multilayer feed-forward network with backpropagation learning algorithm. We have presented neural network implementation possibility in bankruptcy prediction (the experiments have been performed in the Matlab environment). On the base of bankruptcy data analysis the effect of hidden neurons to specific neural network training quality is shown. The conformity of theoretical hidden neurons to practical solutions was carried out.

The computation of security risk index in identifying the system’s condition is one of the major concerns in power system analysis. Traditional method of this assessment is highly time consuming and infeasible for direct on-line implementation. Thus, this paper presents the application of Multi-Layer Feed Forward Network (MLFFN) to perform the prediction of voltage collapse risk index due to the line outage occurrence. The proposed ANN model consider load at the load buses as well as weather condition at the transmission lines as the input. In realizing the effectiveness of the proposed method, the results are compared with Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN) method. The results revealed that the MLFFN method shows a significant improvement over GRNN performance in terms of least error produced.

The thickness of an oil film lubricant can contribute to less gear tooth wear and surface failure. The purpose of this research is to use artificial neural network (ANN) computational modelling to correlate spur gear data from acoustic emissions, lubricant temperature, and specific film thickness (λ). The approach is using an algorithm to monitor the oil film thickness and to detect which lubrication regime the gearbox is running either hydrodynamic, elastohydrodynamic, or boundary. This monitoring can aid identification of fault development. Feed-forward and recurrent Elman neural network algorithms were used to develop ANN models, which are subjected to training, testing, and validation process. The Levenberg-Marquardt back-propagation algorithm was applied to reduce errors. Log-sigmoid and Purelin were identified as suitable transfer functions for hidden and output nodes. The methods used in this paper shows accurate predictions from ANN and the feed-forward network performance is superior to the Elman neural network.

Decision tree algorithms have been among the most popular algorithms for interpretable (transparent) machine learning since the early 1980s. On the other hand, deep learning methods have boosted the capacity of machine learning algorithms and are now being used for non-trivial applications in various applied domains. But training a fully-connected deep feed-forward network by gradient-descent backpropagation is slow and requires arbitrary choices regarding the number of hidden units and layers. In this paper, we propose near-optimal neural regression trees, intending to make it much faster than deep feed-forward networks and for which it is not essential to specify the number of hidden units in the hidden layers of the neural network in advance. The key idea is to construct a decision tree and then simulate the decision tree with a neural network. This work aims to build a mathematical formulation of neural trees and gain the complementary benefits of both sparse optimal decision trees and neural trees. We propose near-optimal sparse neural trees (NSNT) that is shown to be asymptotically consistent and robust in nature. Additionally, the proposed NSNT model obtain a fast rate of convergence which is near-optimal up to some logarithmic factor. We comprehensively benchmark the proposed method on a sample of 80 datasets (40 classification datasets and 40 regression datasets) from the UCI machine learning repository. We establish that the proposed method is likely to outperform the current state-of-the-art methods (random forest, XGBoost, optimal classification tree, and near-optimal nonlinear trees) for the majority of the datasets.

This paper presents the application of Artificial Neural Networks to predict the malfunction probability of the human-machine-environment system, in order to provide some guidance to designers of manufacturing processes. Artificial Neural Networks excel in gathering difficult non-linear relationships between the inputs and outputs of a system. We used, in this work, a feed forward neural network in order to predict the malfunction probability. The neural network is simulated with Matlab. The design experiment presented in this paper was realized at University of Pitesti, at the Faculty of Mechanics and Technology, Technology and Management Department.

This study focuses on predicting Australia‘s low cost carrier passenger demand and revenue passenger kilometres performed (RPKs) using traditional econometric and artificial neural network (ANN) modelling methods. For model development, Australia‘s real GDP, real GDP per capita, air fares, Australia‘s population and unemployment, tourism (bed spaces) and 4 dummy variables, utilizing quarterly data obtained between 2002 and 2012, were selected as model parameters. The neural network used multi-layer perceptron (MLP) architecture that compromised a multi-layer feed-forward network and the sigmoid and linear functions were used as activation functions with the feed forward‐back propagation algorithm. The ANN was applied during training, testing and validation and had 11 inputs, 9 neurons in the hidden layers and 1 neuron in the output layer. When comparing the predictive accuracy of the two techniques, the ANNs provided the best prediction and showed that the performance of the ANN model was better than that of the traditional multiple linear regression (MLR) approach. The highest R-value for the enplaned passengers ANN was around 0.996 and for the RPKs ANN was round 0.998, respectively.

AbstractWe demonstrate the design of a neural network hardware, where all neuromorphic computing functions, including signal routing and nonlinear activation are performed by spin-wave propagation and interference. Weights and interconnections of the network are realized by a magnetic-field pattern that is applied on the spin-wave propagating substrate and scatters the spin waves. The interference of the scattered waves creates a mapping between the wave sources and detectors. Training the neural network is equivalent to finding the field pattern that realizes the desired input-output mapping. A custom-built micromagnetic solver, based on the Pytorch machine learning framework, is used to inverse-design the scatterer. We show that the behavior of spin waves transitions from linear to nonlinear interference at high intensities and that its computational power greatly increases in the nonlinear regime. We envision small-scale, compact and low-power neural networks that perform their entire function in the spin-wave domain.

Recently, the feed-forward neural network is functioning with slow computation time and increased gain. The weight vector and biases in the neural network can be tuned based on performing intelligent assignment for simple generalized operation. This drawback of FFNN is solved by using various ELM algorithms based on the applications issues. ELM algorithms have redesigned the existing neural networks with network components such as hidden nodes, weights, and biases. The selection of hidden nodes is randomly determined and leverages good accuracy than conservative methods. The main aim of this research article is to explain variants of ELM advances for different applications. This procedure can be improved and optimized by using the neural network with novel feed-forward algorithm. The nodes will mainly perform due to the above factors, which are tuning for inverse operation. The ELM essence should be incorporated to reach a faster learning speed and less computation time with minimum human intervention. This research article consists of the real essence of ELM and a briefly explained algorithm for classification purpose. This research article provides clear information on the variants of ELM for different classification tasks. Finally, this research article has discussed the future extension of ELM for several applications based on the function approximation.

Coverage of plasma motions is limited to the line-of-sight component at the Sun's surface. Multiple tracking and inversion methods were developed to infer the transverse motions from observational data. Recently, the DeepVel neural network was trained with computations performed by numerical simulations of the solar photosphere to recover the missing transverse component at surface and at two additional optical depths simultaneously from the surface white light intensity in the Quiet Sun. We argue that deep learning could provide additional spatial coverage to existing observations in the form of depth-dependent synthetic observations, i.e. estimates generated through the emulation of numerical simulations. We trained different versions of DeepVel using slices from numerical simulations of both the Quiet Sun and Active Region at various optical and geometrical depths in the solar atmosphere, photosphere and upper convection zone to establish the upper and lower limits at which the neural network can generate reliable synthetic observations of plasma motions from surface intensitygrams. Flow fields inferred in the photosphere and low chromosphere $\tau \in [0.1, 1)$ are comparable to inversions performed at the surface ($\tau \approx 1$) and are deemed to be suitable for use as synthetic observations in data assimilation processes and data-driven simulations. This upper limit extends closer to the transition region ($\tau \approx 0.01$) in the Quiet Sun, but not for Active Regions. Subsurface flows inferred from surface intensitygrams fail to capture the small-scale features of turbulent convective motions as depth crosses a few hundred kilometers. We suggest that these reconstructions could be used as first estimates of a model's velocity vector in data assimilation processes to nowcast and forecast short term solar activity and space weather.
