Due to the exponential growth of E-Business and computing capabilities over the web for a pay-for-use groundwork, the risk factors regarding security issues also increase rapidly. As the usage increases, it becomes very difficult to identify malicious attacks since the attack patterns change. Therefore, host machines in the network must continually be monitored for intrusions since they are the final endpoint of any network. The purpose of this work is to introduce a generalized neural network model that has the ability to detect network intrusions. Two recent heuristic algorithms inspired by the behavior of natural phenomena, namely, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and gravitational search (GSA) algorithms are introduced. These algorithms are combined together to train a feed forward neural network (FNN) for the purpose of utilizing the effectiveness of these algorithms to reduce the problems of getting stuck in local minima and the time-consuming convergence rate. Dimension reduction focuses on using information obtained from NSL-KDD Cup 99 data set for the selection of some features to discover the type of attacks. Detecting the network attacks and the performance of the proposed model are evaluated under different patterns of network data.

The implementation of neural network for the fault diagnosis is to improve the dependability of the proposed scheme by providing a more accurate, faster diagnosis relaying scheme as compared with the conventional relaying schemes. It is important to improve the relaying schemes regarding the shortcoming of the system and increase the dependability of the system by using the proposed relaying scheme. It also provide more accurate, faster relaying scheme. It also gives selective schemes as compared to conventional system. The techniques for survey employed some methods for the collection of data which involved a literature review of journals, from review on books, newspaper, magazines as well as field work, additional data was collected from researchers who are working in this field. To achieve optimum result we have to improve following things: (i) Training time, (ii) Selection of training vector, (iii) Upgrading of trained neural nets and integration of technologies. AI with its promise of adaptive training and generalization deserves scope. As a result we obtain a system which is more reliable, more accurate, and faster, has more dependability as well as it will selective according to the proposed relaying scheme as compare to the conventional relaying scheme. This system helps us to reduce the shortcoming like major faults which we faced in the complex system of transmission lines which will helps in reducing human effort, saves cost for maintaining the transmission system.

A probabilistic neural network (PNN) speech recognition model based on the partition clustering algorithm is proposed in this paper. The most important advantage of PNN is that training is easy and instantaneous. Therefore, PNN is capable of dealing with real time speech recognition. Besides, in order to increase the performance of PNN, the selection of data set is one of the most important issues. In this paper, using the partition clustering algorithm to select data is proposed. The proposed model is tested on two data sets from the field of spoken Arabic numbers, with promising results. The performance of the proposed model is compared to single back propagation neural network and integrated back propagation neural network. The final comparison result shows that the proposed model performs better than the other two neural networks, and has an accuracy rate of 92.41%.

The goals of this study are the suggestion of a better classification method for detecting stressed states based on raw electrocardiogram (ECG) data and a method for training a deep neural network (DNN) with a smaller data set. We suggest an end-to-end architecture to detect stress using raw ECGs. The architecture consists of successive stages that contain convolutional layers. In this study, two kinds of data sets are used to train and validate the model: A driving data set and a mental arithmetic data set, which smaller than the driving data set. We apply a transfer learning method to train a model with a small data set. The proposed model shows better performance, based on receiver operating curves, than conventional methods. Compared with other DNN methods using raw ECGs, the proposed model improves the accuracy from 87.39% to 90.19%. The transfer learning method improves accuracy by 12.01% and 10.06% when 10 s and 60 s of ECG signals, respectively, are used in the model. In conclusion, our model outperforms previous models using raw ECGs from a small data set and, so, we believe that our model can significantly contribute to mobile healthcare for stress management in daily life.

An artificial neural network has been implemented and trained with clinical data from 23088 patients. The aim was to predict a patient’s body circumferences and ligament thickness from patient data. A fully connected feed-forward neural network is used, containing no loops and one hidden layer and the learning mechanism is back-propagation of error. Neural network inputs were mass, height, age and gender. There are eight hidden neurons and one output. The network can generate estimates for waist, arm, calf and thigh circumferences and thickness of skin, fat, Supraspinous and interspinous ligaments, ligamentum flavum and epidural space. Data was divided into a training set of 11000 patients and an unseen test data set of 12088 patients. Twenty five training cycles were completed. After each training cycle neuron outputs advanced closer to the clinically measured data. Waist circumference was predicted within 3.92cm (3.10% error), thigh circumference 2.00cm, (2.81% error), arm circumference 1.21cm (2.48% error), calf circumference 1.41cm, (3.40% error), triceps skinfold 3.43mm, (7.80% error), subscapular skinfold 3.54mm, (8.46% error) and BMI was estimated within 0.46 (0.69% error). The neural network has been extended to predict ligament thicknesses using data from MRI. These predictions will then be used to configure a simulator to offer a patient-specific training experience.

In this paper, we present a neural network (InteractionNN) for sparse predictive analysis where hidden features of sparse data can be learned by multilevel feature interaction. To characterize multilevel interaction of features, InteractionNN consists of three modules, namely, nonlinear interaction pooling, layer-lossing, and embedding. Nonlinear interaction pooling (NI pooling) is a hierarchical structure and, by shortcut connection, constructs low-level feature interactions from basic dense features to elementary features. Layer-lossing is a feed-forward neural network where high-level feature interactions can be learned from low-level feature interactions via correlation of all layers with target. Moreover, embedding is to extract basic dense features from sparse features of data which can help in reducing our proposed model computational complex. Finally, our experiment evaluates on the two benchmark datasets and the experimental results show that InteractionNN performs better than most of state-of-the-art models in sparse regression.

Plants have a great role to play in biodiversity sustenance. These natural products not only push their demand for agricultural productivity, but also for the manufacturing of medical products, cosmetics and many more. Apple is one of the fruits that is known for its excellent nutritional properties and is therefore recommended for daily intake. However, due to various diseases in apple plants, farmers have to suffer from a huge loss. This not only causes severe effects on fruit’s health, but also decreases its overall productivity, quantity, and quality. A novel convolutional neural network (CNN) based model for recognition and classification of apple leaf diseases is proposed in this paper. The proposed model applies contrast stretching based pre-processing technique and fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm for the identification of plant diseases. These techniques help to improve the accuracy of CNN model even with lesser size of dataset. 400 image samples (200 healthy, 200 diseased) of apple leaves have been used to train and validate the performance of the proposed model. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 98%. To achieve this accuracy, it uses lesser data-set size as compared to other existing models, without compromising with the performance, which become possible due to use of contrast stretching pre-processing combined with FCM clustering algorithm.

Reliable method of rainfall-runoff modeling is a prerequisite for proper management and mitigation of extreme events such as floods. The objective of this paper is to contrasts the hydrological execution of Emotional Neural Network (ENN) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for modelling rainfall-runoff in the Sone Command, Bihar as this area experiences flood due to heavy rainfall. ENN is a modified version of ANN as it includes neural parameters which enhance the network learning process. Selection of inputs is a crucial task for rainfall-runoff model. This paper utilizes cross correlation analysis for the selection of potential predictors. Three sets of input data: Set 1, Set 2 and Set 3 have been prepared using weather and discharge data of 2 raingauge stations and 1 discharge station located in the command for the period 1986-2014.  Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has then been performed on the selected data sets for selection of data sets showing principal tendencies.  The data sets obtained after PCA have then been used in the model development of ENN and ANN models. Performance indices were performed for the developed model for three data sets. The results obtained from Set 2 showed that ENN with R= 0.933, R2 = 0.870, Nash Sutcliffe = 0.8689, RMSE = 276.1359 and Relative Peak Error = 0.00879 outperforms ANN in simulating the discharge. Therefore, ENN model is suggested as a better model for rainfall-runoff discharge in the Sone command, Bihar.

The objective of this paper is to analyse the gait of subjects with suffering Parkinson's Disease (PD), plus to differentiate their gait from those of normal people. The data is obtained from a medical gait database known as Gaitpdb [1]. In the data set, there are 73 control subjects and 93 subjects with PD. In our study, we first obtained the gait features using statistical analysis, which include minimum, maximum, median, kurtosis, mean, skewness, standard deviation and average absolute deviation of the gait signal. Next, selection of the extracted features is performed using PSO search, Tabu search and Ranker. Finally the selected features will undergo classification using BFT, BPANN, k-NN, SVM with Ln kernel, SVM with Poly kernel and SVM with Rbf kernel. From the experimental results, the proposed model achieved average of 66.43%, 89.97%, 87.00%, 88.47%, 86.80% and 87.53% correct classification rates respectively.

AbstractDynamic fracture of a two-dimensional MoWSe2 membrane is studied with molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The system consists of a random distribution of WSe2 patches in a pre-cracked matrix of MoSe2. Under strain, the system shows toughening due to crack branching, crack closure and strain-induced structural phase transformation from 2H to 1T crystal structures. Different structures generated during MD simulation are analyzed using a three-layer, feed-forward neural network (NN) model. A training data set of 36,000 atoms is created where each atom is represented by a 50-dimension feature vector consisting of radial and angular symmetry functions. Hyper parameters of the symmetry functions and network architecture are tuned to minimize model complexity with high predictive power using feature learning, which shows an increase in model accuracy from 67% to 95%. The NN model classifies each atom in one of the six phases which are either as transition metal or chalcogen atoms in 2H phase, 1T phase and defects. Further t-SNE analyses of learned representation of these phases in the hidden layers of the NN model show that separation of all phases become clearer in the third layer than in layers 1 and 2.
