This work introduces a new fault detection method for photovoltaic systems. The method identifies short-circuited modules and disconnected strings on photovoltaic systems combining two machine learning techniques. The first algorithm is a multilayer feedforward neural network, which uses irradiance, ambient temperature, and power at the maximum power point as input variables. The neural network output enters a Sugeno type fuzzy logic system that precisely determines how many faulty modules are occurring on the power plant. The proposed method was trained using a simulated dataset and validated using experimental data. The obtained results showed 99.28% accuracy on detecting short-circuited photovoltaic modules and 99.43% on detecting disconnected strings.

AbstractThe 21cm signal at epoch of reionization (EoR) should be observed within next decade. We expect that cosmic 21cm signal at the EoR provides us both cosmological and astrophysical information. In order to extract fruitful information from observation data, we need to develop inversion method. For such a method, we introduce artificial neural network (ANN) which is one of the machine learning techniques. We apply the ANN to inversion problem to constrain astrophysical parameters from 21cm power spectrum. We train the architecture of the neural network with 70 training datasets and apply it to 54 test datasets with different value of parameters. We find that the quality of the parameter reconstruction depends on the sensitivity of the power spectrum to the different parameter sets at a given redshift and also find that the accuracy of reconstruction is improved by increasing the number of given redshifts. We conclude that the ANN is viable inversion method whose main strength is that they require a sparse extrapolation of the parameter space and thus should be usable with full simulation.

Literacy rate of deaf students is very less in India. So there is a need to build an effective academic prediction model for identifying weak deaf students. Many machine learning techniques like Decision tree, Support Vector Machine, Neural Network are used to build prediction models. But the most preferred technique is neural network. It is found out that regression model build with neural networks takes more time to converge and the error rate is quite high. To solve the problems of neural network, we use Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for weight adjustment in the neural network. But, one of the main drawback of PSO lies in setting the initial parameters. So, a new PSO algorithm which determines the initial weight of the neural network using regression equation is proposed. The results show that neural network build with the proposed PSO algorithm performs well than neural network build with basic PSO algorithm. The Mean Square Error (MSE) achieved in this work is 0.0998, which is comparatively less than many existing models.

The Individual

In this study, machine learning techniques based on the development of a pattern–recognition neural network were used for fault diagnosis in an analog electronic circuit to detect the individual hard faults (open circuits and short circuits) that may arise in a circuit. The ability to determine faults in the circuit was analyzed through the availability of a small number of measurements in the circuit, as test points are generally not accessible for verifying the behavior of all the components of an electronic circuit. It was shown that, despite the existence of a small number of measurements in the circuit that characterize the existing faults, the network based on pattern-recognition functioned adequately for the detection and classification of the hard faults. In addition, once the neural network has been trained, it can be used to analyze the behavior of the circuit versus variations in its components, with a wider range than that used to develop the neural network, in order to analyze the ability of the ANN to predict situations different from those used to train the ANN and to extract valuable information that may explain the behavior of the circuit.

Industry is constantly seeking ways to avoid corrective maintenance so as to reduce costs. Performing regular scheduled maintenance can help to mitigate this problem, but not necessarily in the most efficient way. In the context of condition-based maintenance, the main contributions of this work were to propose a methodology to treat and transform the collected data from a vibration system that simulated a motor and to build a dataset to train and test an Artificial Neural Network capable of predicting the future condition of the equipment, pointing out when a failure can happen. To achieve this goal, a device model was built to simulate typical motor vibrations, consisting of a computer cooler fan and several magnets. Measurements were made using an accelerometer, and the data were collected and processed to produce a structured dataset. The neural network training with this dataset converged quickly and stably, while the tests performed, k-fold cross-validation and model generalization, presented excellent performance. The same tests were performed with other machine learning techniques, to demonstrate the effectiveness of neural networks mainly in their generalizability. The results of the work confirm that it is possible to use neural networks to perform predictive tasks in relation to the conditions of industrial equipment. This is an important area of study that helps to support the growth of smart industries.

Transient stability assessment is playing a vital role in modern power systems. For this purpose, machine learning techniques have been widely employed to find critical conditions and recognize transient behaviors based on massive data analysis. However, an ever increasing volume of data generated from power systems poses a number of challenges to traditional machine learning techniques, which are computationally intensive running on standalone computers. This paper presents a MapReduce based high performance neural network to enable fast stability assessment of power systems. Hadoop, which is an open-source implementation of the MapReduce model, is first employed to parallelize the neural network. The parallel neural network is further enhanced with HaLoop to reduce the computation overhead incurred in the iteration process of the neural network. In addition, ensemble techniques are employed to accommodate the accuracy loss of the parallelized neural network in classification. The parallelized neural network is evaluated with both the IEEE 68-node system and a real power system from the aspects of computation speedup and stability assessment.

Area Of Concern

Extracting the sentiment of the text using machine learning techniques like LSTM is our area of concern. Classifying the movie reviews using LSTM is our problem statement. The reviews dataset is taken from the IMDB movie review dataset. Here we will classify a review based on the memory in the neural network of a LSTM cell state. Movie reviews often contain sensible content which describe the movie. We can manually decide whether a movie is good or bad by going through these reviews. Using machine learning approach we are classifying the movie reviews such that we can say that a movie is good or bad. LSTM is effective than many other techniques like RNN and CNN.

Enhancement of Cultural Heritage such as historical images is very crucial to safeguard the diversity of cultures. Automated colorization of black and white images has been subject to extensive research through computer vision and machine learning techniques. Our research addresses the problem of generating a plausible colored photograph of ancient, historically black, and white images of Nepal using deep learning techniques without direct human intervention. Motivated by the recent success of deep learning techniques in image processing, a feed-forward, deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) in combination with Inception- ResnetV2 is being trained by sets of sample images using back-propagation to recognize the pattern in RGB and grayscale values. The trained neural network is then used to predict two a* and b* chroma channels given grayscale, L channel of test images. CNN vividly colorizes images with the help of the fusion layer accounting for local features as well as global features. Two objective functions, namely, Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), are employed for objective quality assessment between the estimated color image and its ground truth. The model is trained on the dataset created by ourselves with 1.2 K historical images comprised of old and ancient photographs of Nepal, each having 256 × 256 resolution. The loss i.e., MSE, PSNR, and accuracy of the model are found to be 6.08%, 34.65 dB, and 75.23%, respectively. Other than presenting the training results, the public acceptance or subjective validation of the generated images is assessed by means of a user study where the model shows 41.71% of naturalness while evaluating colorization results.

Combined Defects

Various techniques have been developed to detect railway defects. One of the popular techniques is machine learning. This unprecedented study applies deep learning, which is a branch of machine learning techniques, to detect and evaluate the severity of rail combined defects. The combined defects in the study are settlement and dipped joint. Features used to detect and evaluate the severity of combined defects are axle box accelerations simulated using a verified rolling stock dynamic behavior simulation called D-Track. A total of 1650 simulations are run to generate numerical data. Deep learning techniques used in the study are deep neural network (DNN), convolutional neural network (CNN), and recurrent neural network (RNN). Simulated data are used in two ways: simplified data and raw data. Simplified data are used to develop the DNN model, while raw data are used to develop the CNN and RNN model. For simplified data, features are extracted from raw data, which are the weight of rolling stock, the speed of rolling stock, and three peak and bottom accelerations from two wheels of rolling stock. In total, there are 14 features used as simplified data for developing the DNN model. For raw data, time-domain accelerations are used directly to develop the CNN and RNN models without processing and data extraction. Hyperparameter tuning is performed to ensure that the performance of each model is optimized. Grid search is used for performing hyperparameter tuning. To detect the combined defects, the study proposes two approaches. The first approach uses one model to detect settlement and dipped joint, and the second approach uses two models to detect settlement and dipped joint separately. The results show that the CNN models of both approaches provide the same accuracy of 99%, so one model is good enough to detect settlement and dipped joint. To evaluate the severity of the combined defects, the study applies classification and regression concepts. Classification is used to evaluate the severity by categorizing defects into light, medium, and severe classes, and regression is used to estimate the size of defects. From the study, the CNN model is suitable for evaluating dipped joint severity with an accuracy of 84% and mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.25 mm, and the RNN model is suitable for evaluating settlement severity with an accuracy of 99% and mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.58 mm.

A Neural Network trigger for [Formula: see text] events based on the SVT microvertex processor of experiment CDF at Fermilab is presented. It exploits correlations among track impact parameters and azimuths calculated by the SVT from the SVX microvertex detector data. The neural trigger is meant for implementation on the systolic Siemens microprocessor MA16, which has already been used in a neural-network trigger for experiment WA92 at CERN. A suitable set of input variables is found, which allows a viable solution for the preprocessing task using standard electronic components. The response time of the neural-network stage of the trigger, including preprocessing, can be estimated ~10 μs. Its precise value depends on the quantitative specifications of the output signals of the SVT, which is still in development. The performance of the neural-network trigger is found to be significantly better than that of a conventional trigger exclusively based on impact parameter data.
