Book Radial basis neural network optimization using fruit fly

Download or read book Radial basis neural network optimization using fruit fly written by Anurag Rana and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-06-25 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Computer Sciences - Artificial Intelligence, grade: A, , course: Master Of Technology Computer Science and Engineering, language: English, abstract: This research presents the optimization of radial basis function (RBF) neural network by means of aFOA and establishment of network model, adopting it with the combination of the evaluation of the mean impact value (MIV) to select variables. The form of amended fruit fly optimization algorithm (aFOA) is easy to learn and has the characteristics of quick convergence and not readily dropping into local optimum. The validity of model is tested by two actual examples, furthermore, it is simpler to learn, more stable and practical. Our aim is to find a variable function based on such a large number of experimental data in many scientific experiments such as Near Infrared Spectral data and Atlas data. But this kind of function is often highly uncertain, nonlinear dynamic model. When we perform on the data regression analysis, this requires choosing appropriate independent variables to establish the independent variables on the dependent variables regression model. Generally, experiments often get more variables, some variables affecting the results may be smaller or no influence at all, even some variable acquisition need to pay a large cost. If drawing unimportant variables into model, we can reduce the precision of the model, but cannot reach the ideal result. At the same time, a large number of variables may also exist in multicollinearity. Therefore, the independent variable screening before modeling is very necessary. Because the fruit fly optimization algorithm has concise form, is easy to learn, and have fault tolerant ability, besides algorithm realizes time shorter, and the iterative optimization is difficult to fall into the local extreme value. And radiate basis function (RBF) neural network’s structure is simple, training concise and fasting speed of convergence by learning, can approximate any nonlinear function, having a "local perception field" reputation. For this reason, this paper puts forward a method of making use of the amended fruit flies optimization algorithm to optimize RBF neural network (aFOA-RBF algorithm) using for variable selection.

Book Second Order Training Algorithms for Radial Basis Function Neural Network

Download or read book Second Order Training Algorithms for Radial Basis Function Neural Network written by Kanishka Tyagi and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A systematic two step batch approach for constructing and training of Radial basis function (RBF) neural networks is presented. Unlike other RBF learning algorithms, the proposed paradigm uses optimal learning factors (OLF's) to train the network parameters, i.e. spread parameters, mean vector parameters and weighted distance measure (DM) coefficients. Newton's algorithm is proposed for obtaining multiple optimal learning factors (MOLF) for the network parameters. The weights connected to the output layer are trained by a supervisedlearning algorithm based on orthogonal least squares (OLS). The error obtained is then backpropagated to tune the RBF parameters. The proposed hybrid training algorithm has been compared with the Levenberg Marquardt and recursive least square based RLS-RBF training algorithms. Simulation results show that regardless of the input data dimension, the proposed algorithms are a significant improvement in terms of convergence speed, network size and generalization over conventional RBF training algorithms which use a single optimal learning factor (SOLF). Analyses of the proposed training algorithms on noisy input data have also been carried out. The ability of the proposed algorithm is further substantiated by using k-fold cross validation. Initialization of network parameters using Self Organizing Map (SOM), efficient calculation of Hessian matrix for network parameters, Newton's method for optimization, optimal learning factors and orthogonal least squares are the subject matter of present work.

Book Fast Radial Basis Functions for Engineering Applications

Download or read book Fast Radial Basis Functions for Engineering Applications written by Marco Evangelos Biancolini and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the first “How To” guide to the use of radial basis functions (RBF). It provides a clear vision of their potential, an overview of ready-for-use computational tools and precise guidelines to implement new engineering applications of RBF. Radial basis functions (RBF) are a mathematical tool mature enough for useful engineering applications. Their mathematical foundation is well established and the tool has proven to be effective in many fields, as the mathematical framework can be adapted in several ways. A candidate application can be faced considering the features of RBF: multidimensional space (including 2D and 3D), numerous radial functions available, global and compact support, interpolation/regression. This great flexibility makes RBF attractive – and their great potential has only been partially discovered. This is because of the difficulty in taking a first step toward RBF as they are not commonly part of engineers’ cultural background, but also due to the numerical complexity of RBF problems that scales up very quickly with the number of RBF centers. Fast RBF algorithms are available to alleviate this and high-performance computing (HPC) can provide further aid. Nevertheless, a consolidated tradition in using RBF in engineering applications is still missing and the beginner can be confused by the literature, which in many cases is presented with language and symbolisms familiar to mathematicians but which can be cryptic for engineers. The book is divided in two main sections. The first covers the foundations of RBF, the tools available for their quick implementation and guidelines for facing new challenges; the second part is a collection of practical RBF applications in engineering, covering several topics, including response surface interpolation in n-dimensional spaces, mapping of magnetic loads, mapping of pressure loads, up-scaling of flow fields, stress/strain analysis by experimental displacement fields, implicit surfaces, mesh to cad deformation, mesh morphing for crack propagation in 3D, ice and snow accretion using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data, shape optimization for external aerodynamics, and use of adjoint data for surface sculpting. For each application, the complete path is clearly and consistently exposed using the systematic approach defined in the first section.

Book Supervised Learning with Complex valued Neural Networks

Download or read book Supervised Learning with Complex valued Neural Networks written by Sundaram Suresh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-07-28 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advancements in the field of telecommunications, medical imaging and signal processing deal with signals that are inherently time varying, nonlinear and complex-valued. The time varying, nonlinear characteristics of these signals can be effectively analyzed using artificial neural networks. Furthermore, to efficiently preserve the physical characteristics of these complex-valued signals, it is important to develop complex-valued neural networks and derive their learning algorithms to represent these signals at every step of the learning process. This monograph comprises a collection of new supervised learning algorithms along with novel architectures for complex-valued neural networks. The concepts of meta-cognition equipped with a self-regulated learning have been known to be the best human learning strategy. In this monograph, the principles of meta-cognition have been introduced for complex-valued neural networks in both the batch and sequential learning modes. For applications where the computation time of the training process is critical, a fast learning complex-valued neural network called as a fully complex-valued relaxation network along with its learning algorithm has been presented. The presence of orthogonal decision boundaries helps complex-valued neural networks to outperform real-valued networks in performing classification tasks. This aspect has been highlighted. The performances of various complex-valued neural networks are evaluated on a set of benchmark and real-world function approximation and real-valued classification problems.
