Purpose: The paper describes the use of artificial neural networks to research and predict the effect of chemical components and thermal treatment conditions on stainless steel's mechanical characteristics optimized by genetic algorithm. Design/methodology/approach: The quantity of input variables of artificial neural networks has been optimized using genetic algorithms to enhance the prediction quality of artificial neural network and to enhance their efficiency. Then a computational model was trained and evaluated with optimized artificial neural networks. Findings: Optimization, with the exception of tensile strength, has enabled the creation of artificial neural networks, which either showed a better or similar performance from base networks, as well as a decreased amount of input variables As a consequence, noise data is decreased in the computational model built with the use of these networks. Research limitations/implications: Data analysis was required to confirm the relevance of obtaining information used for modelling to use in training procedures for artificial neural networks. Practical implications: Using artificial intelligence enables the multi-faceted growth of stainless steel engineering, even though there is only a relatively small amount of descriptors. Built and optimized computational model building using optimized artificial neural networks enables prediction of mechanical characteristics after normalization of forged ferritic stainless steels. Originality/value: In order to decrease production expenses of products, an introduced model can be obtained in manufacturing industry. It can also simplify the selection of materials if the engineer has to correctly choose chemical elements and appropriate plastics and/or heat processing of stainless steels, having the necessary mechanical characteristics.

International audience Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been widely applied in data mining as a supervised classification technique. The accuracy of this model is mainly provided by its high tolerance to noisy data as well as its ability to classify patterns on which they have not been trained. Moreover, the performance to ANN based models mainly depends both on the ANN parameters and on the quality of input variables. Whereas, an exhaustive search on either appropriate parameters or predictive inputs is very computationally expansive. In this paper, we propose a new hybrid model based on genetic algorithms and artificial neural networks. Our evolutionary classifier is capable of selecting the best set of predictive variables, then, searching for the best neural network classifier and improving classification and generalization accuracies. The designated model was applied to the problem of bankruptcy forecasting, experiments have shown very promising results for the bankruptcy prediction in terms of predictive accuracy and adaptability.

The aim of this paper is an attempt to answer the question of whether, on the basis of the values of the mechanical properties of ferritic stainless steels, it is possible to predict the chemical concentration of carbon and nine of the other most common alloying elements in these steels. The author believes that the relationships between the properties are more complicated and depend on a greater number of factors, such as heat and mechanical treatment conditions, but in this paper, they were not taken into account due to the uniform treatment of the tested steels. The modeling results proved to be very promising and indicate that for some elements, this is possible with high accuracy. Artificial neural networks with radial basis functions (RBF), multilayer perceptron with one and two hidden layers (MLP) and generalized regression neural networks (GRNN) were used for modeling. In order to minimize the manufacturing cost of products, developed artificial neural networks can be used in industry. They may also simplify the selection of materials if the engineer has to correctly select chemical components and appropriate plastic and/or heat treatments of stainless steel with the necessary mechanical properties.

Respiratory Conditions

A mathematical prediction model has been developed in order to detect particles with a diameter of 10 micrometers or less (PM-10) that are responsible for adverse health effects because of their ability to cause serious respiratory conditions in areas of high pollution such as Chiang Mai City moat area. The prediction model is based on 3 types of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), including Multi-layer perceptron (MLP-NN), Radial basis function (RBF-NN), and hybrid of RBF and Genetic algorithm (RBF-NN-GA). The model uses 8 input variables to predict PM-10, consisting of 4 air pollution substances ( CO, O3, NO2 and SO2) and 4 meteorological variables related PM-10 (wind speed, temperature, atmospheric pressure and relative humidity). These 3 types of ANN have proved efficient instrument in predicting the PM-10. However, the performance of RBF-NN was superior in comparison with MLP-NN and RBF-NN-GA respectively.

Different prediction models (multiple linear regression, vector support machines, artificial neural networks and random forests) are applied to model the monthly global irradiation (MGI) from different input variables (latitude, longitude and altitude of meteorological station, month, average temperatures, among others) of different areas of Galicia (Spain). The models were trained, validated and queried using data from three stations, and each best model was checked in two independent stations. The results obtained confirmed that the best methodology is the ANN model which presents the lowest RMSE value in the validation and querying phases 1226 kJ/(m2∙day) and 1136 kJ/(m2∙day), respectively, and predict conveniently for independent stations, 2013 kJ/(m2∙day) and 2094 kJ/(m2∙day), respectively. Given the good results obtained, it is convenient to continue with the design of artificial neural networks applied to the analysis of monthly global irradiation.

This study aims to produce accurate predictions of the NO2 concentrations at a specific station of a monitoring network located in the Bay of Algeciras (Spain). Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and sequence-to-sequence long short-term memory networks (LSTMs) were used to create the forecasting models. Additionally, a new prediction method was proposed combining LSTMs using a rolling window scheme with a cross-validation procedure for time series (LSTM-CVT). Two different strategies were followed regarding the input variables: using NO2 from the station or employing NO2 and other pollutants data from any station of the network plus meteorological variables. The ANN and LSTM-CVT exogenous models used lagged datasets of different window sizes. Several feature ranking methods were used to select the top lagged variables and include them in the final exogenous datasets. Prediction horizons of t + 1, t + 4 and t + 8 were employed. The exogenous variables inclusion enhanced the model’s performance, especially for t + 4 (ρ ≈ 0.68 to ρ ≈ 0.74) and t + 8 (ρ ≈ 0.59 to ρ ≈ 0.66). The proposed LSTM-CVT method delivered promising results as the best performing models per prediction horizon employed this new methodology. Additionally, per each parameter combination, it obtained lower error values than ANNs in 85% of the cases.

This work is devoted to synthesis of adaptive hybrid systems based on the Computational Intelligence (CI) methods (especially artificial neural networks (ANNs)) and the Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) ideas to get new qualitative results in Data Mining, Intelligent Control and other scientific areas. The GMDH-artificial neural networks (GMDH-ANNs) are currently well-known. Their nodes are two-input N-Adalines. On the other hand, these ANNs can require a considerable number of hidden layers for a necessary approximation quality. Introduced Q-neurons can provide a higher quality using the quadratic approximation. Their main advantage is a high learning rate. Universal approximating properties of the GMDH-ANNs can be achieved with the help of compartmental R-neurons representing a two-input RBFN with the grid partitioning of the input variables' space. An adjustment procedure of synaptic weights as well as both centers and receptive fields is provided. At the same time, Epanechnikov kernels (their derivatives are linear to adjusted parameters) can be used instead of conventional Gauss functions in order to increase a learning process rate. More complex tasks deal with stochastic time series processing. This kind of tasks can be solved with the help of the introduced adaptive W-neurons (wavelets). Learning algorithms are characterized by both tracking and smoothing properties based on the quadratic learning criterion. Robust algorithms which eliminate an influence of abnormal outliers on the learning process are introduced too. Theoretical results are illustrated by multiple experiments that confirm the proposed approach's effectiveness.
