Predicting torque of worsted singles yarn using an efficient radial basis function network-based method

Predicting torque of wool worsted single yarns using an efficient radial basis function network-based method

The torque in single-spun yarns is an inherent property of the twisting and bending of staple fibres during the formation of yarn combined with the effect of applied tension on the yarn. The consequences of yarn torque are well known and are widely observed as yarn instability, e.g., yarn rotation under tension; local snarling and entanglement at low loads, and as distortion in fabric, i.e., ed...

Scale-based clustering using the radial basis function network

This paper shows how scale-based clustering can be done using the radial basis function network (RBFN), with the RBF width as the scale parameter and a dummy target as the desired output. The technique suggests the "right" scale at which the given data set should be clustered, thereby providing a solution to the problem of determining the number of RBF units and the widths required to get a goo...

Face Recognition using Radial Basis Function Network based on LDA

This paper describes a method to improve the robustness of a face recognition system based on the combination of two compensating classifiers. The face images are preprocessed by the appearance-based statistical approaches such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). LDA features of the face image are taken as the input of the Radial Basis Function Network ...

Predicting contact map using Radial Basis Function Neural Network with Conformational Energy Function

Contact map, which is important to understand and reconstruct protein's three-dimensional (3D) structure, may be helpful to solve the protein's 3D structure. This paper presents a novel approach to predict the contact map using Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) optimised by Conformational Energy Function (CEF) based on chemico-physical knowledge of amino acids. Finally, the results a...
