A feed-forward three-layer neural network was proposed to predict the fracture force of injection-molded parts’ weld line. Firstly, the most significant process parameters which affect the fracture force of weld line were analyzed. Secondly, melt temperature, injection pressure, holding pressure and holding time were chosen as import variables and the fracture force of weld line was chosen as output variable to construct artificial neural networks. Furthermore, the performance of ANN was evaluated and tested by its application to verification tests with process parameters randomly selected which all of them were not used in the network training. Results showed that the ANN predictions yield mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) in the range of 0.86%,and maximum relative error (MRE) in the range of 1.84% for the test data set, and which can comparatively accurately reflect the influence relation of the injection process parameters on part’s quality index under the circumstance of data deficiencies.

Based on the deep analysis of injection molding process and factors influenced on the quality of injection-molded parts, and considering of the non-linear, multi-variable coupling of process and the problem of data deficiencies, a feed-forward three-layer neural network was presented to predict the part weight based on the melt temperature, holding pressure and holding time, which is the most important quality index of injection-molded parts. Furthermore, an architecture optimization approach for neural networks was used and the performance of ANN was evaluated and tested by its application to verification tests with process parameters randomly selected which all of them were not used in the network training. Results showed that the ANN predictions yield mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) in the range of 0.1% and the maximum relative error (MRE) in the range of 0.47% for the test data set, and which can comparatively accurately reflect the influence relation of the injection process parameters on part’s quality indexs under the circumstance of data deficiencies.

Simulation and experimental studies were performed on filling imbalance in geometrically balanced injection molds. An original strategy for problem solving was developed to optimize the imbalance phenomenon. The phenomenon was studied both by simulation and experimentation using several different runner systems at various thermo-rheological material parameters and process operating conditions. Three optimization procedures were applied, Response Surface Methodology (RSM), Taguchi method, and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Operating process parameters: the injection rate, melt temperature, and mold temperature, as well as the geometry of the runner system were optimized. The imbalance of mold filling as well as the process parameters: the injection pressure, injection time, and molding temperature were optimization criteria. It was concluded that all the optimization procedures improved filling imbalance. However, the Artificial Neural Networks approach seems to be the most efficient optimization procedure, and the Brain Construction Algorithm (BSM) is proposed for problem solving of the imbalance phenomenon.

    Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is widely used in many complex applications. Artificial neural network is a statistical intelligent technique resembling the characteristic of the human neural network.  The prediction of time series from the important topics in statistical sciences to assist administrations in the planning and make the accurate decisions, so the aim of this study is to analysis the monthly hypertension in Kalar for the period (January 2011- June 2018) by applying an autoregressive –integrated- moving average model  and artificial neural networks and choose the best and most efficient model for patients with hypertension in Kalar through the comparison between neural networks and Box- Jenkins models on a data set for predict. Comparisons between the models has been performed using Criterion indicator Akaike information Criterion, mean square of error,  root mean square of error, and mean absolute percentage error, concluding that the prediction for patients with hypertension by using artificial neural networks model is the best.

The present work aims to test the potential of the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for food authentication. For this purpose, honey was chosen as the working matrix. The samples were originated from two countries: Romania (50) and France (53), having as floral origins: acacia, linden, honeydew, colza, galium verum, coriander, sunflower, thyme, raspberry, lavender and chestnut. The ANNs were built on the isotope and elemental content of the investigated honey samples. This approach conducted to the development of a prediction model for geographical recognition with an accuracy of 96%. Alongside this work, distinct models were developed and tested, with the aim of identifying the most suitable configurations for this application. In this regard, improvements have been continuously performed; the most important of them consisted in overcoming the unwanted phenomenon of over-fitting, observed for the training data set. This was achieved by identifying appropriate values for the number of iterations over the training data and for the size and number of the hidden layers and by introducing of a dropout layer in the configuration of the neural structure. As a conclusion, ANNs can be successfully applied in food authenticity control, but with a degree of caution with respect to the “over optimization” of the correct classification percentage for the training sample set, which can lead to an over-fitted model.

Prediction of student performance on the basis of habits has been a very important research topic in academics. Studies show that selection of the correct data set also plays a vital role in these predictions. In this chapter, the authors took data from different schools that contains student habits and their comments, analyzed it using latent semantic analysis to get semantics, and then used support vector machine to classify the data into two classes, important for prediction and not important. Finally, they used artificial neural networks to predict the grades of students. Regression was also used to predict data coming from support vector machine, while giving only the important data for prediction.

A data set of 48 propafenone-type modulators of multidrug resistance was used to investigate the influence of learning rate and momentum factor on the predictive power of artificial neural networks of different architecture. Generally, small learning rates and medium sized momentum factors are preferred. Some of the networks showed higher cross validated Q2 values than the corresponding linear model (0.87 vs. 0.83). Screening of a 158 compound virtual library identified several new lead compounds with activities in the nanomolar range.

In our article, inverse kinematic problem of a plasma cutting robot with three degree of freedom is solved using artificial neural networks. Artificial neural network was trained using joint angle values according to cartesian coordinates ( x, y, z) of end point of a robotic arm. The Levenberg–Marquardt training algorithm was applied to educate artificial neural network. To validate the designed neural network, it was tested using a new test data set which is not applied in training. A simulation was performed on a three-dimensional model of MSC.ADAMS software using angle values obtained from artificial neural network test. It was revealed from this simulation that trajectory of plasma cutting torch obtained using artificial neural network agreed well with desired trajectory.
