In this paper, we study the ability of learning automata-based schemes in escaping from local minima when standard backpropagation (BP) fails to 2nd the global minima. It is demonstrated through simulation that learning automata-based schemes compared to other schemes such as SAB, Super SAB, Fuzzy BP, adaptive steepness method, and variable learning rate method have a higher ability to escape f...

introduction rural women, especially in the third world countries, have a major role in the economic, social and cultural activities. check the status of women in the developing countries 52 represents the fact that women over 40% of agricultural activities are doing with respect to the axis of the nature of the agricultural activities in the economic development of iran, and the role of rural ...

In this paper we explore tool support for categorical coding of verbal and chat data. We consider tool support for manual coding, automatic coding by learning algorithms, and derive at a socio-technical approach in which human coders and learning algorithms together address the coding task. Given that a literature study suggests researchers devise, adapt and refine a wide variety of coding sche...
