Classification of imbalanced data is pervasive but it is a difficult problem to solve. In order to improve the classification of imbalanced data, this letter proposes a new error function for the error backpropagation algorithm of multilayer perceptrons. The error function intensifies weight-updating for the minority class and weakens weight-updating for the majority class. We verify the effect...

the aim of this study was to estimate suspended sediment by the ann model, dt with cart algorithm and different types of src, in ten stations from the lorestan province of iran. the results showed that the accuracy of ann with levenberg-marquardt back propagation algorithm is more than the two other models, especially in high discharges. comparison of different intervals in models showed that r...

The supervised learning of the discriminative convolutional neural network (ConvNet or CNN) is powered by back-propagation on the parameters. In this paper, we show that the unsupervised learning of a popular top-down generative ConvNet model with latent continuous factors can be accomplished by a learning algorithm that consists of alternatively performing back-propagation on both the latent f...

Standard neural network based on general back propagation learning using delta method or gradient descent method has some great faults like poor optimization of error-weight objective function, low learning rate, instability .This paper introduces a hybrid supervised back propagation learning algorithm which uses trust-region method of unconstrained optimization of the error objective function ...

In the previous study, we have proposed a template design method of cellular neural networks with back propagation algorithm. In that method, template learns by using the average error which corresponds to the difference between the output image and the desired image. In this study, we modify the back propagation algorithm for cellular neural networks template design. We inspect the performance...

The back propagation (BP) neural network algorithm is a multi-layer feedforward network trained according to error back propagation algorithm and is one of the most widely applied neural network models. BP network can be used to learn and store a great deal of mapping relations of input-output model, and no need to disclose in advance the mathematical equation that describes these mapping relat...

It is difficult to accurately reckon vehicle position for vehicle navigation system (VNS) during GPS outages, a novel prediction algorithm of dead reckon (DR) position error is put forward, which based on Bayesian regularization back-propagation (BRBP) neural network. DR, GPS position data are first denoised and compared at different stationary wavelet transformation (SWT) decomposition level, ...

runoff is one of the major components of calculating water resource processes and is the main issue in hydrology. many concept models are used to predict the amount of runoff, which in most cases depend on topographical and hydrological data. conventional models are not appropriate for areas in which there is little hydrological data. changes in runoff are nonlinear, meaning it is time & space ...
