For any pattern matching based algorithm in WLAN environment, the characteristics of signal to noise ratio(SNR) to multiple access points(APs) are utilized to establish database in the training phase, and in the estimation phase, the actual two dimensional coordinates of mobile unit(MU) are estimated based on the comparison between the new recorded SNR and fingerprints stored in database. The system that uses the artificial neural network(ANN) falls in a local minima when it learns many nonlinear data, and its classification accuracy ratio becomes low. To make up for this risk, the SVM/ANN hybrid algorithm is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm is the method that ANN learns selectively after clustering the SNR data by SVM, then more improved performance estimation can be obtained than using ANN only and The proposed algorithm can make the higher classification accuracy by decreasing the nonlinearity of the massive data during the training procedure. Experimental results indicate that the proposed SVM/ANN hybrid algorithm generally outperforms ANN algorithm.

Time dependent strain due to creep is a significant factor in structural design. Multi-gene genetic programming (MGGP) and artificial neural network (ANN) are used to develop two models for prediction of creep compliance in concrete. The first model was developed by MGGP technique and the second model by hybridized MGGP-ANN. In the MGGP-ANN, the ANN is working in parallel with MGGP to predict errors in MGGP model. A total of 187 experimental data sets that contain 4242 data points are filtered from the NU-ITI database. These data are used in developing the MGGP and MGGP-ANN models. These models contain six input variables which are: average compressive strength at 28 days, relative humidity, volume to surface ratio, cement type, age at start of loading and age at the creep measurement. Practical equation based on MGGP was developed. A parametric study carried out with a group of hypothetical data generated among the range of data used to check the generalization ability of MGGP and MGGP-ANN models. To confirm validity of MGGP and MGGP-ANN models; two creep prediction code models (ACI209 and CEB), two empirical models (B3 and GL 2000) are used to compare their results with NU-ITI database.

In this study, we estimate the ultimate load of rectangular concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST) by developing a novel hybrid predictive model (ANN-BCMO) which is a combination of balancing composite motion optimization (BCMO) - a very new optimization technique and artificial neural network (ANN). For this aim, an experimental database consisting of 422 datasets is used for the development and validation of the ANN-BCMO model. Variables in the database are related with the geometrical characteristics of the structural members, and the mechanical properties of the constituent materials (steel and concrete). Validation of the hybrid ANN-BCMO model is carried out by applying standard statistical criteria such as root mean square error (RMSE), coefficient of determination (R²), and mean absolute error (MAE). In addition, the selection of appropriate values for parameters of the hybrid ANN-BCMO is conducted and its robustness is evaluated and compared with the conventional ANN techniques. The results reveal that the new hybrid ANN-BCMO model is a promising tool for prediction of the ultimate load of rectangular CFST, and prove the effective role of BCMO as a powerful algorithm in optimizing and improving the capability of the ANN predictor.

This study proposed a robust artificial intelligence (AI) model based on the social behaviour of the imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) and artificial neural network (ANN) for modelling the deflection of reinforced concrete beams, abbreviated as ICA-ANN model. Accordingly, the ICA was used to adjust and optimize the parameters of an ANN model (i.e., weights and biases) aiming to improve the accuracy of the ANN model in modelling the deflection reinforced concrete beams. A total of 120 experimental datasets of reinforced concrete beams were employed for this aim. Therein, applied load, tensile reinforcement strength and the reinforcement percentage were used to simulate the deflection of reinforced concrete beams. Besides, five other AI models, such as ANN, SVM (support vector machine), GLMNET (lasso and elastic-net regularized generalized linear models), CART (classification and regression tree) and KNN (k-nearest neighbours), were also used for the comprehensive assessment of the proposed model (i.e., ICA-ANN). The comparison of the derived results with the experimental findings demonstrates that among the developed models the ICA-ANN model is that can approximate the reinforced concrete beams deflection in a more reliable and robust manner.

선박의 접안운동을 자동화하기 위하여 인공신경망(Artificial Neural Network, 이하 ANN)에 의한 제어를 수행하였다. ANN은 시스템의 비선형성이 표현 가능하므로 접안운동과 같은 비선형성이 강한 조종운동에 적합하다. 입력층과 출력층 사이에 하나 이상의 중간층이 존재하는 다층 인식자(Multi-layer perceptron)를 사용하였고, 교사 데이터(Teaching data)와 역전파(Back-Propagation) 알고리즘을 사용하여 신경망의 출력값과 목표 출력값 사이의 오차가 최소가 되도록 신경망 학습을 수행하였다. 접안 시 저속조종 수학모델을 사용하여 접안 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, ANN의 입력층 성분(unit)이 8개인 구조와 6개인 구조의 접안 제어를 비교하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 두 ANN에 의하여 접안 경로 선택에 차이가 나타났으나 접안 조건은 모두 만족하였다.

FRP는 중량이 가볍고, 녹이 슬지 않으며 높은 인장 강도를 가진다. 철근에 비해 월등한 재료적 특성을 가지고 있는 FRP는 콘크리트 구조물에 철근이나 긴장재 대용으로 휨 보강재로써 널리 대체되어지고 있다. 현재 FRP 콘크리트 보의 전단강도를 산정함에 있어 설계지침들이 기존의 설계방식을 따르고 있지만 이들 설계 방식에서 제시한 식들은 매우 상이한 형태를 나타낸다. 이 연구에서는 FRP 콘크리트 보의 전단 강도를 예측하는 방법의 대안으로 인공신경망(이하 ANN) 기법을 채택하였다. 전단 강도에 미치는 영향 요소는 문헌조사에 의하여 선정된 후 ANN에 입력되었고, ANN은 데이터베이스를 통해 얻은 극한 전단 강도를 목표 값으로 하여 학습되었다. ANN을 이용하여 얻은 결과 값과 현존하는 이론식의 값을 비교한 결과 이 연구에서 개발한 ANN은 현재 사용하고 있는 예측 이론식에 비하여 더욱 정확하게 예측하였다.

For the fault diagnosis of a mechanical system, pattern recognition methods have being used frequently in recent research. Hidden Markov model(HMM) and artificial neural network(ANN) are typical examples of pattern recognition methods employed for the fault diagnosis of a mechanical system. In this paper, a hybrid method that combines HMM and ANN for the fault diagnosis of a mechanical system is introduced. A rotating blade which is used for a wind turbine is employed for the fault diagnosis. Using the HMM/ANN hybrid model along with the numerical model of the rotating blade, the location and depth of a crack as well as its presence are identified. Also the effect of signal to noise ratio, crack location and crack size on the success rate of the identification is investigated.

Fingerprinting 방식에서 KNN은 WLAN 기반 실내 측위에 가장 많이 적용되고 있지만 KNN의 성능은 k개의 이웃 수와 RP의 수에 따라 민감하다. 논문에서는 KNN 성능을 향상시키기 위해 ANN 군집화를 적용한 KNN과 ANN을 혼합한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 신호잡음비 데이터를 KNN 방법에 적용하여 k개의 RP을 선택한 후 선택된 RP의 신호잡음비를 ANN에 적용하여 k개의 RP를 군집하여 분류한다. 실험 결과에서는 위치 오차가 2m 이내에서 KNN/ANN 알고리즘이 KNN 알고리즘보다 성능이 우수하다.

This paper presents an efficient approach to generate a new empirical formula to predict the axial compression capacity (ACC) of circular concrete-filled tube (CCFT) columns using the artificial neural network (ANN). A total of 258 test results extracted from the literature were used to develop the ANN models. The ANN model having the highest correlation coefficient (R) and the lowest mean square error (MSE) was determined as the best model. Stability analysis, sensitivity analysis, and a parametric study were carried out to estimate the stability of the ANN model and to investigate the main contributing factors on the ACC of CCFT columns. Stability analysis revealed that the ANN model was more stable than several existing formulae. Whereas, the sensitivity analysis and parametric study showed that the outer diameter of the steel tube was the most sensitive parameter. Additionally, using the validated ANN model, a new empirical formula was derived for predicting the ACC of CCFT columns. Obviously, a higher accuracy of the proposed empirical formula was achieved compared to the existing formulae.
