Neural networks are investigated for predicting the magnitude of the largest seismic event in the following month based on the analysis of eight mathematically computed parameters known as seismicity indicators. The indicators are selected based on the Gutenberg-Richter and characteristic earthquake magnitude distribution and also on the conclusions drawn by recent earthquake prediction studies...

Prediction of peak loads in Iran up to year 2011 is discussed using the Radial Basis Function Networks (RBFNs). In this study, total system load forecast reflecting the current and future trends is carried out for global grid of Iran. Predictions were done for target years 2007 to 2011 respectively. Unlike short-term load forecasting, long-term load forecasting is mainly affected by economy...

Function approximation has been found in many applications. The radial basis function (RBF) network is one approach which has shown a great promise in this sort of problems because of its faster learning capacity. A traditional RBF network takes Gaussian functions as its basis functions and adopts the least-squares criterion as the objective function, However, it still suffers from two major pr...

| Successful implementations of radial-basis function (RBF) networks for classiication tasks must deal with architectural issues, the burden of irrelevant attributes, scaling , and some other problems. This paper addresses these issues by initializing RBF networks with decision trees that deene relatively pure regions in the instance space; each of these regions then determines one basis functi...

In this paper the neural network based lter for nonlinear interference cancellation is developed. The Hyper Radial Basis Function (HRBF) network with associated Manhattan learning algorithm is proposed for non-linear noise cancellation under assumption that reference noise is available. The HRBF network is a generalization of radial basis function (RBF) and generalized radial basis function (GR...

The instantaneous assessment of high-priced liquor products with minimal sample volume and no special preparation is an important task for quality monitoring and fraud detection. In this contribution the automated classification of Raman spectra acquired with a special optofluidic chip is performed with the use of a number of Artificial Neural Networks. A standard Radial Basis Function Network ...

In this work we jointly analyze the performance of three classic Artificial Neural Network models and one Support Vector Machine with respect to a series of data complexity measures known as measures of separability of classes. In particular, we consider a Radial Basis Function Network, a Multi-Layer Perceptron, a Learning Vector Quantization, while the Sequential Minimal Optimization method is...

This paper analyses the application of Radial Basis Function (RBF) networks in grade interpolation. These networks are a very unique member of the family of Artificial Neural Networks. RBF networks have such theoretical properties that establish them as a potential alternative to existing grade interpolation techniques. Their suitability to the problem of grade interpolation will be demonstrate...

Supervised Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are information processing systems that adapt their functionality as a result of exposure to input-output examples. To this end, there exist generic procedures and techniques, known as learning rules. The most widely used in the neural network context rely in derivative information, and are typically associated with the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP). Ot...
