Neural networks are powerful computational tools, and have been applied in various applications. In this work, a neural network has been used to solve a pattern classification problem encountered in biochemistry. One of the major topics of research in molecular biology is the prediction of functional properties of biomacromolecules from their sequence data. A radial basis function (RBF) network...

The present study proposes a new radial basis function which is derived based on an idea of mapping data into a high dimensional feature space which is known as Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS) and then performing Radial Basis Function (RBF) network in the feature space. Orthogonal Least Squares (OLS) method is employed to select a suitable set of centers (regressors) from a large set of...

Learning can be viewed as mapping from an input space to an output space. Examples of these mappings are used to construct a continuous function that approximates the given data and generalizes for intermediate instances. Radial basis function (RBF) networks are used to formulate this approximating function. A novel method is introduced that automatically constructs a Generalized radial basis f...

This paper proposes a generic criterion that defines the optimum number of basis functions for radial basis function (RBF) neural networks. The generalization performance of an RBF network relates to its prediction capability on independent test data. This performance gives a measure of the quality of the chosen model. An RBF network with an overly restricted basis gives poor predictions on new...

Utilization of membrane humidifiers is one of the methods commonly used to humidify reactant gases in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). In this study, polymeric porous membranes with different compositions were prepared to be used in a membrane humidifier module and were employed in a humidification test. Three different neural network models were developed to investigate several...

Recent studies on human learning reveal that self-regulated learning in a metacognitive framework is the best strategy for efficient learning. As the machine learning algorithms are inspired by the principles of human learning, one needs to incorporate the concept of metacognition to develop efficient machine learning algorithms. In this letter we present a metacognitive learning framework that...

A connectionist model made up of a combination of RBF networks is proposed the model decomposes multivalued dependencies into local single valued functions theory and applications are presented

This paper proposes a novel learning algorithm for constructing data classifiers with radial basis function (RBF) networks. The RBF networks constructed with the proposed learning algorithm generally are able to deliver the same level of classification accuracy as the support vector machines (SVM). One important advantage of the proposed learning algorithm, in comparison with the support vector...

This paper proposes a new blind watermarking scheme based on discrete wavelet transform(DWT) domain. The method uses the HVS model, and radial basis function neural networks(RBF). RBF will be implemented while embedding and extracting watermark.The human visual system (HVS) model is used to determine the watermark insertion strength. The neural networks almost exactly recover the watermarking s...
