Although traditional artificial neural networks have been an attractive topic in modeling membrane filtration, lower efficiency by trial-and-error constructing and random initializing methods often accompanies neural networks. To improve traditional neural networks, the present research used the wavelet network, a special feedforward neural network with a single hidden layer supported by the wa...

Nowadays, prediction of corporate bankruptcy is one of the most important issues which have received great attentions among academia and practitioners. Although several studies have been accomplished in the field of bankruptcy prediction, less attention has been devoted for proposing a systematic approach based on fuzzy neural networks.  The present study proposes fuzzy neural networks to predi...

This paper proposes a method to detect falls using a Neural Network with Weighted Fuzzy Membership Functions(NEWFM) and wavelet-based feature extraction. Data extracted from study subjects were applied to the NEWFM after going through preprocessing and wavelet processes. From the created wavelet coefficients, 40 initial features were obtained using statistical methods, including frequency distr...

This paper introduces an automated medical data classification method using wavelet transformation (WT) and interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (IT2FLS). Wavelet coefficients, which serve as inputs to the IT2FLS, are a compact form of original data but they exhibits highly discriminative features. The integration between WT and IT2FLS aims to cope with both high-dimensional data challenge and un...

The proposed IAFC neural networks have both stability and plasticity because theyuse a control structure similar to that of the ART-1(Adaptive Resonance Theory) neural network.The unsupervised IAFC neural network is the unsupervised neural network which uses the fuzzyleaky learning rule. This fuzzy leaky learning rule controls the updating amounts by fuzzymembership values. The supervised IAFC ...

This paper presents an integrated functional link interval type-2 fuzzy neural system (FLIT2FNS) for predicting the stock market indices. The hybrid model uses a TSK (Takagi–Sugano–Kang) type fuzzy rule base that employs type-2 fuzzy sets in the antecedent parts and the outputs from the Functional Link Artificial Neural Network (FLANN) in the consequent parts. Two other approaches, namely the i...

An application of wavelet neural network/wavenet in control problems of nonlinear systems is investigated in this study. A wavelet neural network is constructed as an alternative architecture to a neural network to approximate a nonlinear system. Based on approximation capability of wavelet network, a suitable adaptive control law and parameter updating algorithm as applied to nonlinear system ...

This paper describes a new method for constructing wavelet neural network in order to improve the accuracy of prediction for multi-dimensional function spaces. An algorithm is developed using the concept of evolutionary search in wavelet neural network. It helps in decreasing the computational effort needed for building the wavelet neural network. Several modifications to wavelet neural network...

Generally the fractal image compression is a technique based on the presentation of an image by a contractive transform, on the space of image, for which the fixed point is close to the original image. The fractal image compression is rapidly growing principle covers a wide variety of coding scheme in various domains. A large number of theoretical aspects of this concept are available. However,...
