This paper presents the pruning and model-selecting algorithms to the support vector learning for sample classification and function regression. When constructing RBF network by support vector learning we occasionally obtain redundant support vectors which do not significantly affect the final classification and function approximation results. The pruning algorithms primarily based on the sensi...

A Neural Network (NN) using Normalised Radial Basis Functions (NRBF) is used for encoding the sequence of positions forming the path of an autonomous wheelchair. The network operates by continuously producing the next position for the wheelchair. As the path passes several times over the same point, additional phase information is added to the position information. This avoids the aliasing prob...

In this paper we propose a novel training algorithm for RBF networks that is based on extended kalman filter and fuzzy logic.After the user choose how many prototypes to include in the network, the extended kalman filter simultancously solves for the prototype vectors and the weight matrix.The fuzzy logic is used to cope with the devergence problem caused by the insufficiently known a priori fi...

According to the high accuracy of load model in power system, a novel dynamic population variation genetic programming with Kalman operator for load model in power system is proposed. First, an evolution load model called initial model in power system evolved by dynamic variation population genetic programming is obtained which has higher accuracy than traditional models. Second, parameters in ...

In this addition to the regular paper, we derive the required derivatives required to implement the informative prior from a simulator in PILCO [1]. First, for completeness, we repeat the derivation of the mean, covariance, and input-output covariance of the predictive mean of a Gaussian process (GP) when the prior mean is a radial basis function network (RBF). Then, we detail the partial deriv...

In this paper we propose a novel approach for modeling kernels in Radial Basis Function networks. The method provides an extra degree of flexibility to the kernel structure. This flexibility comes through the use of modifier functions applied to the distance computation procedure, essential for all kernel evaluations. Initially the classifier uses an unsupervised method to construct the network...

In this paper, a hybrid network based on the combination of Radial Basis Function Networks (RBFNs) and Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) is proposed and used for speaker recognition. The hybrid network is a hierarchical one, where a GMM is built for each speaker and an RBFN is built for each group of speakers. The GMMs and RBFNs are trained independently. The RBFNs are used as a rst stage coarse c...

This paper presents a new data-driven approach for modeling haptic responses of textured surfaces with homogeneous anisotropic grain. The approach assumes unconstrained tool-surface interaction with a rigid tool for collecting data during modeling. The directionality of the texture is incorporated in modeling by including 2 dimentional velocity vector of user’s movement as an input for the data...

An orthogonal forward selection (OFS) algorithm based on the leaveone-out (LOO) criterion is proposed for the construction of radial basis function (RBF) networks with tunable nodes. This OFS-LOO algorithm is computationally efficient and is capable of identifying parsimonious RBF networks that generalise well. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is fully automatic and the user does not need to sp...

A novel two stage Improved Radial Basis Function (IRBF) neural network for the damage identification of a multimember structure in the frequency domain is presented. The improvement of the proposed IRBF network is carried out in two stages. Conventional RBF network is used in the first stage for preliminary damage prediction and in the second stage reduced search space moving technique is used ...
