چکیده

Modular Neural Networks (MNNs) is a rapidly growing field in artificial Neural Networks (NNs) research. This paper surveys the different motivations for creating MNNs: biological, psychological, hardware, and computational. Then, the general stages of MNN design are outlined and surveyed as well, viz., task decomposition techniques, learning schemes and multi-module decision-making strategies. Advantages and disadvantages of the surveyed methods are pointed out, and an assessment with respect to practical potential is provided. Finally, some general recommendations for future designs are presented.

معرفی شبکه های عصبی پیمانه ای عمیق با ساختار فضایی-زمانی دوگانه جهت بهبود بازشناسی گفتار پیوسته فارسی

In this article, growable deep modular neural networks for continuous speech recognition are introduced. These networks can be grown to implement the spatio-temporal information of the frame sequences at their input layer as well as their labels at the output layer at the same time. The trained neural network with such double spatio-temporal association structure can learn the phonetic sequence...

Neural Networks in Electric Load Forecasting:A Comprehensive Survey

Review and classification of electric load forecasting (LF) techniques based on artificial neuralnetworks (ANN) is presented. A basic ANNs architectures used in LF reviewed. A wide range of ANNoriented applications for forecasting are given in the literature. These are classified into five groups:(1) ANNs in short-term LF, (2) ANNs in mid-term LF, (3) ANNs in long-term LF, (4) Hybrid ANNs inLF,...

Step change point estimation in the multivariate-attribute process variability using artificial neural networks and maximum likelihood estimation

In some statistical process control applications, the combination of both variable and attribute quality characteristics which are correlated represents the quality of the product or the process. In such processes, identification the time of manifesting the out-of-control states can help the quality engineers to eliminate the assignable causes through proper corrective actions. In this paper, f...
