Necessary and sufficient conditions for implementing particular decision regions by multi-layer perceptrons have been presented in recent studies. In this paper, from a viewpoint of engineering, a constructive algorithm is proposed to implement celled decision regions using two-layer perceptrons without any training procedure. The algorithm examines the feasibility of a celled decision region a...

in this paper, we introduce a takagi-sugeno (ts) fuzzy model which is derived from a typical multi-layer perceptron neural network (mlp nn). at first, it is shown that the considered mlp nn can be interpreted as a variety of ts fuzzy model. it is discussed that the utilized membership function (mf) in such ts fuzzy model, despite its flexible structure, has some major restrictions. after modify...

in this paper, a state-of-the-art neuron mathematical model of neural tensor network (ntn) is proposed to rdf knowledge base completion problem. one of the difficulties with the parameter of the network is that representation of its neuron mathematical model is not possible. for this reason, a new representation of this network is suggested that solves this difficulty. in the representation, th...

In this paper, we will consider the problem of classifying electroencephalogram (EEG) signals of normal subjects, and subjects suuering from psychiatric disorder, e.g., obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, using a class of artiicial neural networks, viz., multi-layer perceptron. It is shown that the multilayer perceptron is capable of classifying unseen test EEG signals to a high degre...

in some statistical process control applications, the quality of the product is characterized by thecombination of both correlated variable and attributes quality characteristics. in this paper, we propose anovel control scheme based on the combination of two multi-layer perceptron neural networks forsimultaneous monitoring of mean vector as well as the covariance matrix in multivariate-attribu...

Primary biliary cirrhosis is a chronic cholestatic liver disease that can lead to failure. The majority of individuals who suffer from this are women. recorded as contributing mortality worldwide with percentage 0.6% 2.0%. However, so far, randomized trials have shown some immunosuppressant or immunosuppressive drugs do not play major role in patients primary cirrhosis. Therefore, early detecti...

in this paper, the grouting ability of sandy soils is investigated by artificial neural networks based on the results of chemical grout injection tests. in order to evaluate the soil grouting potential, experimental samples were prepared and then injected. the sand samples with three different particle sizes (medium, fine, and silty) and three relative densities (%30, %50, and %90) were injecte...

The change of land use/land cover has been known as an imperative force in environmental alteration, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. This research was mainly aimed to assess the validity of two major types of land change modeling techniques via a three dimensional approach in Birjand urban watershed located in an arid climatic region of Iran. Thus, a Markovian approach based on two suit...

Reliable results are crucial when working with medical decision support systems. A decision support system should be reliable but also be interpretable, i.e. able to show how it has inferred its conclusions. In this thesis, the preprocessing perceptron is presented as a simple but effective and efficient analysis method to consider when creating medical decision support systems. The preprocessi...
