in this paper, a novel hybrid method based on learning algorithmof fuzzy neural network and newton-cotesmethods with positive coefficient for the solution of linear fredholm integro-differential equation of the second kindwith fuzzy initial value is presented. here neural network isconsidered as a part of large field called neural computing orsoft computing. we propose alearning algorithm from ...

An artificial neural network can be used as an intelligent controller to control non-linear, dynamic system through learning. It can easily accommodate non-linearities and time dependencies. Most common multi-layer feed-forward neural networks have the drawbacks of large number of neurons and hidden layers required to deal with complex problems and require large training time. To overcome these...

infiltration rate is one of the most important soil physical parameters and is a basic input data in irrigation and drainage projects. although, a number of theoretical or experimental based equations are presented to describe this phenomenon but the evaluation of some new sciences such as artificial neural networks, for prediction of the phenomenon can be investigated. generally, the infiltrat...

Learning is central to the exploration of intelligence. Psychology and machine learning provide high-level explanations of how rational agents learn. Neuroscience provides lowlevel descriptions of how the brain changes as a result of learning. This thesis attempts to bridge the gap between these two levels of description by solving problems using machine learning ideas, implemented in biologica...

modelling and forecasting stock market is a challenging task for economists and engineers since it has a dynamic structure and nonlinear characteristic. this nonlinearity affects the efficiency of the price characteristics. using an artificial neural network (ann) is a proper way to model this nonlinearity and it has been used successfully in one-step-ahead and multi-step-ahead prediction of di...

We introduce two new techniques for density estimation. Our approach poses the problem as a supervised learning task which can be performed using Neural Networks. We introduce a stochastic method for learning the cumulative distribution and an analogous deterministic technique. We demonstrate convergence of our methods both theoretically and experimentally, and provide comparisons with the Parz...
