The circuit-field coupled model is very accurate but it is computationally inefficient in studying the output performance of brushless dc motors. In order to resolve the problem, an estimation strategy based on an integrated radial basis function (RBF) network is proposed in this paper. The strategy introduces new conceptions of the network group that are being realized by three steps, namely: ...

An important research issue in RBF networks is how to determine the ganssian centers of the radial-basis functions. We investigate a technique that identifies these centers with carefully selected training examples, with the objective to minimize the network’s size. The essence is to select three very small subsets rather than one larger subset whose size would exceed the size of the three smal...

Electromagnetic articulograph (EMA) provides movement data of sensors attached to a few flesh points on different speech articulators including lips, jaw, and tongue while a subject speaks. In this work, we quantify the amount of information these flesh points provide about the vocal tract (VT) shape in the mid-sagittal plane. VT shape is described by the air-tissue boundaries, which are obtain...

Learning in radial basis function (RBF) networks is the topic of this paper. Particularly we address the problem of intialisation the centers and scaling parameters in RBF networks utilizing classiication tree algorithms. This method was introduced by Kubat in 1998. Algorithms for the calculation of the centers and scaling parameters in an RBF network are presented and numerical results for the...

Adaptive communication is one of the methods used for high rate communication with efficient spectrum efficiency and with improved accuracy for future wireless communication systems. In this paper, we propose an adaptive modulated Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system based on Radial Basis Function (RBF) and then their performance (MSE) and classification accuracy is evaluate...

Bayesian methods have been successfully applied to regression and classification problems in multi-layer perceptrons. We present a novel application of Bayesian techniques to Radial Basis Function networks by developing a Gaussian approximation to the posterior distribution which, for fixed basis function widths, is analytic in the parameters. The setting of regularization constants by crossval...

In this paper we use a genetic algorithm (GA) for selecting the initial seed points (prototypes, kernels) for a Radial Basis Function (RBF) classifier. The chromosome is directly mapped onto the training set and represents a subset: it contains 1 at the ith position if the ith element of the set is included, and 0, otherwise. Thus the GA serves a condensing technique that can hopefully lead to ...

This work presents a procedure for the estimation of a two-mass vocal fold model starting from a time-varying target ow signal. The model is specied by a large number of physical parameters, computed as functions of four articulatory parameters (three laryngeal muscle activations and subglottal pressure). Flow waveforms synthesized by the model are characterized by means of a set of typical v...

This paper describes the use of a radial basis function (RBF) neural network. It approximates the process parameters for the extrusion of a rubber profile used in tyre production. After introducing the problem, we describe the RBF net algorithm and the modeling of the industrial problem. The algorithm shows good results even using only a few training samples. It turns out that the „curse of dim...

This paper proposes a novel computational intelligence technique, based on the sociological concept of human group formation, with the aim to acquire a better solution to classification problems. The key concept of the human group formation is about the behavior of in-group members that try to unite with their own group as much as possible, and at the same time maintain social distance from the...
