In this chapter, an attempt has been made to develop neural network models to predict the hardness distribution of hardened zone in plasma arc surface hardening process. The back propagation method with the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was used to train the neural network models. Hardness distributions were collected by the experimental setup in the laboratory and the associated data were used to train the neural network models. Furthermore, the prediction of neural network models were compared with those obtained from a statistical regression models. It is confirmed experimentally that the hardness distribution can be accurately predicted by the trained neural network models. The accuracy of hardness distribution prediction using neural network is superior to that using other statistical regression models.

Spatial variability is a prominent feature of various geographic phenomena such as climatic zones, USDA plant hardiness zones, and terrestrial habitat types (e.g., forest, grasslands, wetlands, and deserts). However, current deep learning methods follow a spatial-one-size-fits-all (OSFA) approach to train single deep neural network models that do not account for spatial variability. Quantification of spatial variability can be challenging due to the influence of many geophysical factors. In preliminary work, we proposed a spatial variability aware neural network (SVANN-I, formerly called SVANN ) approach where weights are a function of location but the neural network architecture is location independent. In this work, we explore a more flexible SVANN-E approach where neural network architecture varies across geographic locations. In addition, we provide a taxonomy of SVANN types and a physics inspired interpretation model. Experiments with aerial imagery based wetland mapping show that SVANN-I outperforms OSFA and SVANN-E performs the best of all.

Increasing expectations of industrial system reliability require development of more effective and robust fault diagnosis methods. The paper presents a framework for quality improvement on the neural model applied for fault detection purposes. In particular, the proposed approach starts with an adaptation of the modified quasi-outer-bounding algorithm towards non-linear neural network models. Subsequently, its convergence is proven using quadratic boundedness paradigm. The obtained algorithm is then equipped with the sequential D-optimum experimental design mechanism allowing gradual reduction of the neural model uncertainty. Finally, an emerging robust fault detection framework on the basis of the neural network uncertainty description as the adaptive thresholds is proposed.

In this study we apply back propagation Neural Network models to predict the daily Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index. The learning algorithm and gradient search technique are constructed in the models. We evaluate the prediction models and conclude that the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index is predictable in the short term. Empirical study shows that the Neural Network models is successfully applied to predict the daily highest, lowest, and closing value of the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index, but it can not predict the return rate of the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index in short terms.

The need for tracking and evaluation of patients in real-time has contributed to an increase in knowing people’s actions to enhance care facilities. Deep learning is good at both a rapid pace in collecting frameworks of big data healthcare and good predictions for detection the lung cancer early. In this paper, we proposed a constructive deep neural network with Apache Spark to classify images and levels of lung cancer. We developed a binary classification model using threshold technique classifying nodules to benign or malignant. At the proposed framework, the neural network models training, defined using the Keras API, is performed using BigDL in a distributed Spark clusters. The proposed algorithm has metrics AUC-0.9810, a misclassifying rate from which it has been shown that our suggested classifiers perform better than other classifiers.

Recently, deep learning has been successfully applied to robotic grasp detection. Based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), there have been lots of end-to-end detection approaches. But end-to-end approaches have strict requirements for the dataset used for training the neural network models and it’s hard to achieve in practical use. Therefore, we proposed a two-stage approach using particle swarm optimizer (PSO) candidate estimator and CNN to detect the most likely grasp. Our approach achieved an accuracy of 92.8% on the Cornell Grasp Dataset, which leaped into the front ranks of the existing approaches and is able to run at real-time speeds. After a small change of the approach, we can predict multiple grasps per object in the meantime so that an object can be grasped in a variety of ways.

Abstract In the current study we consider the problem of accuracy in heat rate estimations from artificial neural network models of heat exchangers used for refrigeration applications. The network configuration is of the feedforward type with a sigmoid activation function and a backpropagation algorithm. Limited experimental measurements from a manufacturer are used to show the capability of the neural network technique in modeling the heat transfer in these systems. Results from this exercise show that a well-trained network correlates the data with errors of the same order as the uncertainty of the measurements. It is also shown that the number and distribution of the training data are linked to the performance of the network when estimating the heat rates under different operating conditions, and that networks trained from few tests may give large errors. A methodology based on the cross-validation technique is presented to find regions where not enough data are available to construct a reliable neural network. The results from three tests show that the proposed methodology gives an upper bound of the estimated error in the heat rates.

Purpose This paper aims to propose the artificial neural network (ANN) and regression models for the estimation of the thread consumption at multilayered seam assembly stitched with lock stitch 301. Design/methodology/approach In the present study, the generalized regression and neural network models are developed by considering the fabric types: woven, nonwoven and multilayer combination thereof, with basic sewing parameters: sewing thread linear density, stitch density, needle count and fabric assembly thickness. The network with feed-forward backpropagation is considered to build the ANN, and the training function trainlm of MATLAB software is used to adjust weight and basic values according to the optimization of Levenberg Marquardt. The performance of networks measured in terms of the mean squared error and the layer output is set according to the sigmoid transfer function. Findings The proposed ANN and regression model are able to predict the thread consumption with more accuracy for multilayered seam assembly. The predictability of thread consumption from available geometrical models, regression models and industrial empirical techniques are compared with proposed linear regression, quadratic regression and neural network models. The proposed quadratic regression model showed a good correlation with practical thread consumption value and more accuracy in prediction with an overall 4.3% error, as compared to other techniques for given multilayer substrates. Further, the developed ANN network showed good accuracy in the prediction of thread consumption. Originality/value The estimation of thread consumed while stitching is the prerequisite of the garment industry for inventory management especially with the introduction of the costly high-performance sewing thread. In practice, different types of fabrics are stitched at multilayer combinations at different locations of the stitched product. The ANN and regression models are developed for multilayered seam assembly of woven and nonwoven fabric blend composition for better prediction of thread consumption.

Researchers have known for some time that nonlinearity exists in the financial markets and that neural networks can be used to forecast market returns. Unfortunately, many of these studies fail to consider alternative forecasting techniques, or the relevance of the input variables. The following research utilizes an information-gain technique from machine learning to evaluate the predictive relationships of numerous financial and economic input variables. Neural network models for level estimation and classification are then examined for their ability to provide an effective forecast of future values. A cross-validation technique is also employed to improve the generalization ability of the models. The results show that the classification models generate higher accuracy in forecasting ability than the buy-and-hold strategy, as well as those guided by the level-estimation-based forecasts of the neural network and benchmark linear regression models.
