scholarly journals Deep Autoencoder-Based Image Compression using Multi-Layer Perceptrons

The Artificial Neural Network is one of the heavily used alternatives for solving complex problems in machine learning and deep learning. In this research, a deep autoencoder-based multi-layer feed-forward neural network has been proposed to achieve image compression. The proposed neural network splits down a large image into small blocks and each block applies the normalization process as the preprocessing technique. Since this is an autoencoder-based neural network, each normalized block of pixels has been initialized as the input and the output of the neural network. The training process of the proposed network has been done for various block sizes and different saving percentages of various kinds of images by using the backpropagation algorithm. The output of the middle-hidden layer will be the compressed representation for each block of the image. The proposed model has been implemented using Python, Keras, and Tensorflow backend.

<p>Waste mobile phone is one of the subgroups of e-waste which is defined as discarded electronic products in the Philippine context. This study estimated current and projected quantities of waste mobile phones in the country using feed forward neural network. The neural network architecture used had three layers: (i) input layer, (ii) hidden layer, and (iii) output layer. Seven input factors were fed to the network: (i) population, (ii) literacy rate, (iii) mobile connections, (iv) mobile subscribers, (v) gross domestic product (GDP), (vi) GDP per capita, and (vii) US dollar to Philippine peso exchange rate. These input factors were selected based on the criteria provided in the study by the Groupe Spéciale Mobile Association (GSMA) Intelligence in 2015 on why the Philippines is an innovation hub in mobile industry and the availability of data from the sources. The structure was designed with five hidden layers which consisted of (i) six neurons for layer 1, (ii) five neurons for layer 2, (iii) four neurons for layer 3, (iv) three neurons for layer 4, and (v) two neurons for layer 5. The neural network was designed to initially calculate the sales of mobile phones before estimating waste mobile phone generation. Visual Gene Developer 1.7 Software was used which achieved a sum of squared error of 0.00001. Estimated values were found to be in good agreement with a calculated accuracy of 99%. This study can be used by policy makers as basis for strategy formulation and as guideline and baseline data for establishing a proper management system. Neural network performed better than the traditional linear extrapolation method for forecasting of data.</p>

The paper presents a method to use a feed forward neural network in order to rank a working place from the manufacture industry. Neural networks excel in gathering difficult non-linear relationships between the inputs and outputs of a system. The neural network is simulated with a simple simulator: SSNN. In this paper, we considered as relevant for a work place ranking, 6 input parameters: temperature, humidity, noise, luminosity, load and frequency. The neural network designed for the study presented in this paper has 6 input neurons, 13 neurons in the hidden layer and 1 neuron in the output layer. We present also some experimental results obtained through simulations.

Evaluating the number of hidden neurons necessary for solving of pattern recognition and classification tasks is one of the key problems in artificial neural networks. Multilayer perceptron is the most useful artificial neural network to estimate the functional structure in classification. In this paper, we show that artificial neural network with a two hidden layer feed forward neural network with d inputs, d neurons in the first hidden layer, 2d+2 neurons in the second hidden layer, k outputs and with a sigmoidal infinitely differentiable function can solve classification and pattern problems with arbitrary accuracy. This result can be applied to design pattern recognition and classification models with optimal structure in the number of hidden neurons and hidden layers. The experimental results over well-known benchmark datasets show that the convergence and the accuracy of the proposed model of artificial neural network are acceptable. Findings in this paper are experimentally analyzed on four different datasets from machine learning repository.

Abstract The existence of long-acting observatories by itself does not guarantee that their historical magnetograms are available or complete. In the archive of the Hurbanovo Geomagnetic Observatory (acronym HRB; geographical coordinates 47.86 ◦ N, 18.19 ◦ E), records of the geomagnetic field made on photo paper covering the period between the two World Wars were found for which the values of the baselines are unknown. We studied if a feed-forward neural network with one hidden layer can be used to supplement one-hour means of the geomagnetic elements D, H and Z of observatory HRB, using for this purpose the geomagnetic data of observatories Potsdam, Seddin and Niemegk (all of them being referenced to Niemegk). We focused our interest on the first half of the 20-th century. The neural-network model for element D proved to be applicable to substitute for the lost data of the magnetic declination at observatory HRB; however, the usability of the model for both elements H and Z turned out to be limited to a few years close to beginning or end of data gaps. Further we supplemented the time series of annual means of geomagnetic elements D, H and Z at observatory HRB with the model data.

Abstract Background Ultrasound is the first-line imaging modality for detection and classification of thyroid nodules. Certain characteristics observable by ultrasound have recently been identified that may indicate malignancy. This retrospective cohort study was conducted to test the hypothesis that advanced thyroid carcinomas show distinctive clinical and sonographic characteristics. Using a neural network model as proof of concept, nine clinical/sonographic features served as input. Methods All 96 study enrollees had histologically confirmed thyroid carcinomas, categorized (n = 32, each) as follows: group 1, advanced carcinoma (ADV) marked by local invasion or distant metastasis; group 2, non-advanced papillary carcinoma (PTC); or group 3, non-advanced follicular carcinoma (FTC). Preoperative ultrasound profiles were obtained via standardized protocols. The neural network had nine input neurons and one hidden layer. Results Mean age and the number of male patients in group 1 were significantly higher compared with groups 2 (p = 0.005) or 3 (p <  0.001). On ultrasound, tumors of larger volume and irregular shape were observed significantly more often in group 1 compared with groups 2 (p <  0.001) or 3 (p ≤ 0.01). Network accuracy in discriminating advanced vs. non-advanced tumors was 84.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 75.5–91), with positive and negative predictive values of 87.1% (95% CI: 70.2–96.4) and 92.3% (95% CI: 83.0–97.5), respectively. Conclusions Our study has shown some evidence that advanced thyroid tumors demonstrate distinctive clinical and sonographic characteristics. Further prospective investigations with larger numbers of patients and multicenter design should be carried out to show whether a neural network incorporating these features may be an asset, helping to classify malignancies of the thyroid gland.

In this article, thermal resistance test and water vapor resistance test were experimented to obtain data of heat and humidity performance. Canonical correlation analysis was used on determining influence of basic fabric parameters on heat and humidity performance. Thermal resistance model and water vapor resistance model were established with a three-layered feedforward-type neural network. For the generalization of the network and the difficulty of determining the optimal network structure, trainbr was chosen as training algorithm to find the relationship between input factors and output data. After training and verification, the number of hidden layer neurons in the thermal resistance model was 12, and the error reached 10−3. In the water vapor resistance model, the number of hidden layer neurons was 10, and the error reached 10−3.

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.

       In this paper, we focus on designing feed forward neural network (FFNN) for solving Mixed Volterra – Fredholm Integral Equations (MVFIEs) of second kind in 2–dimensions. in our method, we present a multi – layers model consisting of a hidden layer which has five hidden units (neurons) and one linear output unit. Transfer function (Log – sigmoid) and training algorithm (Levenberg – Marquardt) are used as a sigmoid activation of each unit. A comparison between the results of numerical experiment and the analytic solution of some examples has been carried out in order to justify the efficiency and the accuracy of our method.
