Neural Networks (NN), Type-1 Fuzzy Logic Systems (T1FLS) and Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems (IT2FLS) are universal approximators, they can approximate any non-linear function. Recent research shows that embedding T1FLS on an NN or embedding IT2FLS on an NN can be very effective for a wide number of non-linear complex systems, especially when handling imperfect information. In this paper we...

A hybrid system (hidden neural network) based on a hidden Markov model (HMM) and neural networks (NN) was trained to predict the bonding states of cysteines in proteins starting from the residue chains. Training was performed using 4136 cysteine-containing segments extracted from 969 non-homologous proteins of well-resolved 3D structure and without chain-breaks. After a 20-fold cross-validation...

In the present study, the reliability assessment of performance-based optimally seismic designed reinforced concrete (RC) and steel moment frames is investigated. In order to achieve this task, an efficient methodology is proposed by integrating Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) and neural networks (NN). Two NN models including radial basis function (RBF) and back propagation (BP) models are examine...

A fault diagnosis system in a multilevel-inverter using a compact neural network is proposed in this paper. It is difficult to diagnose a multilevel-inverter drive (MLID) system using a mathematical model because MLID systems consist of many switching devices and their system complexity has a nonlinear factor. Therefore, a neural network classification is applied to the fault diagnosis of a MLI...

AbstractOur goal is to allocate items maximize efficiency while ensuring fairness. Since Envy-freeness may not always exist, we consider the relaxed notion, up one item (EF1) that guaranteed exist. We add further constraint of maximizing efficiency, utilitarian social welfare (USW) among fair allocations. In general, finding USW allocations EF1, i.e., EEF1, an NP-Hard problem even for additive ...

numerous studies yet have been carried out on downscaling of the large-scale climate data usingboth dynamical and statistical methods to investigate the hydrological and meteorological impacts of climatechange on different parts of the world. this study was also conducted to investigate the capability of feedforwardneural network with error back-propagation algorithm to downscale the provincial...

We study the problem of detecting sentences describing adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and frame the problem as binary classification. We investigate different neural network (NN) architectures for ADR classification. In particular, we propose two new neural network models, Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (CRNN) by concatenating convolutional neural networks with recurrent neural networks,...

This paper presents a Neural Network (NN) based tool for the modeling, simulation and analysis of aircraft Sensor Failure, Detection, Identification and Accommodation (SFDIA) problems. The SFDIA scheme exploits the analytical redundancy of the system to provide validation capability to measurement devices by employing Neural Networks as on-line non-linear approximators. The tool allows evaluati...

In this study, we compared classical principal components analysis (PCA), generalized principal components analysis (GPCA), linear principal components analysis using neural networks (PCA-NN), and non-linear principal components analysis using neural networks (NLPCA-NN). Data were extracted from the patient satisfaction query with regard to the satisfaction of patients from hospital staff, whic...

The identification of nonlinear systems by artificial neural networks has been successfully applied in many applications. In this context, the radial basis function neural network (RBF-NN) is a powerful approach for nonlinear identification. A RBF neural network has an input layer, a hidden layer and an output layer. The neurons in the hidden layer contain Gaussian transfer functions whose outp...
