ystem identification is mainly the process of improving a mathematical modeling of a physical system using experimental data. In this paper, a new hybrid wavelet neural network is proposed for the system identification purposes. The Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) is a new evolutionary algorithm which recently introduced and has a good performance in different optimization problems. The GS...

Application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for electrical load forecasting has been proposed in the literature. ANNs have some inherent drawbacks and limitations, such as difficulty in deciding the structure of ANN, selection of type of neuron, large training time, sticking to local minima, etc. To overcome the drawbacks of ANN, a Generalized Neural Network (GNN) has been proposed in the ...

this paper is concerned with the development of a novel classifier for automatic mass detection of mammograms, based on contourlet feature extraction in conjunction with statistical and fuzzy classifiers. in this method, mammograms are segmented into regions of interest (roi) in order to extract features including geometrical and contourlet coefficients. the extracted features benefit from...

artificial neural networks have the advantages such as learning, adaptation, fault-tolerance, parallelism and generalization. this paper mainly intends to offer a novel method for finding a solution of a fuzzy equation that supposedly has a real solution. for this scope, we applied an architecture of fuzzy neural networks such that the corresponding connection weights are real numbers. the sugg...

The idea of using artificial neural network has proved useful for hyperspectral image classification. However, the high dimensionality of hyperspectral images usually leads to the failure of constructing an effective neural network classifier. To improve the performance of neural network classifier, wavelet-based feature extraction algorithms are applied to extract useful features for hyperspec...

Deformation monitoring is a significant work for engineering safety, which is performed throughout the entire process of engineering design, construction and operation. Based on the theoretic analysis of wavelet and neural network, we applied the improved BP neural network model, auxiliary wavelet neural network model and embedded wavelet neural network model to the settlement prediction in one...

This paper presents a fuzzy-tuned neural network, which is trained by an improved genetic algorithm (GA). The fuzzy-tuned neural network consists of a neural-fuzzy network and a modified neural network. In the modified neural network, a neuron model with two activation functions is used so that the degree of freedom of the network function can be increased. The neural-fuzzy network governs some...

Ranking of a company's financial information is one of the most important tools for identifying strengths and weaknesses and identifying opportunities and threats outside the company. In this study, it is attempted to examine the financial statements of companies to rank and explain the transparency of financial information of 198 companies during 2009-2017 using artificial intelligence and neu...
