Roll to roll (R2R) manufacturing process, also known as 'web processing', has been tried for producing electronic devices on a flexible plastic or metal foil. To increase the performance and productivity the R2R process, effective control and on-line supervision for web quality becomes very important. Wrinkle is one of the defects, which is incurred due to compressive stresses. A system for on-line measurement of wrinkle is developed using area scan camera and machine vision laser. The 2D image, obtained by area scan camera, is produced by Gaussian regression method to characterize the wrinkle on a transparent web. The experiment proves that 0.3mm wrinkle height can be measured successfully with 74fps.

Experimentally predicting the compressive strength (CS) of concrete (for a mix design) is a time-consuming and laborious process. The present study aims to propose surrogate models based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) machine learning techniques, which can predict the CS of concrete containing nano-silica. Content of cement, aggregates, nano-silica and its fineness, water-binder ratio, and the days at which strength has to be predicted are the input variables. The efficiency of the models is compared in terms of Correlation Coefficient (CC), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Variance Account For (VAF), Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), and RMSE to observation's standard deviation ratio (RSR). It has been observed that the SVM outperforms GPR in predicting the CS of the concrete containing nano-silica.

Reliable wind signal reconstruction can be beneficial to the operational safety of long-span bridges. Non-Gaussian characteristics of wind signals make the reconstruction process challenging. In this paper, non-Gaussian wind signals are converted into a combined prediction of two kinds of features, actual wind speeds and wind angles of attack. First, two decomposition techniques, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and variational mode decomposition (VMD), are introduced to decompose wind signals into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) to reduce the randomness of wind signals. Their principles and applicability are also discussed. Then, four artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are utilized for wind signal reconstruction by combining the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with back propagation neural network (BPNN), support vector regression (SVR), long short-term memory (LSTM) and bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM), respectively. Measured wind signals from a bridge site in a deep-cutting gorge are taken as experimental subjects. The results showed that the reconstruction error of high-frequency components of EMD is too large. On the contrary, VMD fully extracts the multiscale rules of the signal, reduces the component complexity. The combination of VMD-PSO-Bi-LSTM is demonstrated to be the most effective among all hybrid models.

The model-based evolutionary algorithms are divided into three groups: estimation of distribution algorithms, inverse modeling, and surrogate modeling. Existing inverse modeling is mainly applied to solve multi-objective optimization problems and is not suitable for many-objective optimization problems. Some inversed-model techniques, such as the inversed-model of multi-objective evolutionary algorithm, constructed from the Pareto front (PF) to the Pareto solution on nondominated solutions using a random grouping method and Gaussian process, were introduced. However, some of the most efficient inverse models might be eliminated during this procedure. Also, there are challenges, such as the presence of many local PFs and developing poor solutions when the population has no evident regularity. This paper proposes inverse modeling using random forest regression and uniform reference points that map all nondominated solutions from the objective space to the decision space to solve many-objective optimization problems. The proposed algorithm is evaluated using the benchmark test suite for evolutionary algorithms. The results show an improvement in diversity and convergence performance (quality indicators).

본 논문에서는 옵션의 가격을 결정하기 위해 사용될 수 있는 몇 가지 근사적인 방법들을 수치적으로 비교하였다. 헤르미트 다항식 계열의 Edgeworth 확장과 A-type Gram-Charlier 방법, C-type Gram-Charlier 방법, normal inverse gaussian (NIG) 분포를 이용하는 방법, 그리고 비선형 회귀를 이용한 점근적 근사방법이 그것이다. 이 방법들을 위험중립 확률측도 하에서 수익률의 분포함수를 근사하여 옵션가격을 계산하는 방식과 옵션의 근사가격식을 먼저 구하고 모수를 추정하여 가격을 계산하는 두 가지 방식을 사용하여 비교하였다. 모의실험에서는 확률변동성 모형에서 많이 사용되는 Heston 모형과 레비확률과정에서 좋은 적합도를 보이는 NIG 모형을 이용하여 자료를 생성하였고, 실제 자료로는 KOSPI200 콜옵션을 이용하였다. 모의실험과 실제 자료분석의 결과, 근사적 가격식을 먼저 구하는 방식이 좀 더 우수한 성능을 보였고 그 가운데 A-type Gram-Charlier와 비선형 회귀를 이용한 점근적 근사방법이 좋은 성능을 보였으며, 분포함수를 추정하여 옵션가격을 계산하는 경우 NIG분포를 이용하는 것이 상대적으로 좋은 결과를 보였다.

옵션의 가격을 결정하는 문제에서 블랙-숄즈 모형이 가지는 단점을 보완하기 위해 블랙-숄즈 가격을 선도항으로 하여 보정항을 구하는 근사적 옵션가격의 결정방법을 고려하였다. 이러한 근사적 가격결정 방법들은 비교적 적은 자료를 가지고 간단한 계산으로 다양한 형태의 위험중립 확률분포에 의한 옵션가격을 계산할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 일반적으로 관찰되는 시장상황을 모사한 모의실험과 실제 시장에서 관측되는 KOSPI200 옵션가격 자료를 통해 몇 가지 근사방법들의 적합성과를 비교, 평가하였다. 헤르미트 다항식 계열의 Edgeworth 확장과 A-type Gram-Charlier, C-type Gram-Charlier 방법, NIG 분포를 이용하는 방법, 비선형 회귀를 이용한 점근적 근사방법이 고려되었다. 모의실험에서는 순수 점프 레비 확률과정 가운데 옵션가격이 닫힌 해의 형태로 존재하는 Variance gamma 과정을 가정하여 자료를 생성하였다. 모의실험과 실제 자료분석의 결과, 분포함수를 먼저 근사하여 가격을 계산하는 것보다 근사적 가격식을 유도하여 직접 가격을 근사하는 방법들의 성능이 좀 더 좋았으며, 그 가운데 비선형 회귀를 이용한 점근적 근사방법이 상대적으로 좋은 성능을 보였다.

This article deals with the application of reliability analysis for determining the safety of simply supported beam under the uniformly distributed load. The uncertainties of the existing methods were taken into account and hence reliability analysis has been adopted. To accomplish this aim, Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN), Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) models are developed. Reliability analysis is the probabilistic style to determine the possibility of failure free operation of a structure. The application of probabilistic mathematics into the quantitative aspects of a structure and improve the qualitative aspects of a structure. In order to construct the GRNN, ELM and GPR models, the dataset contains Modulus of Elasticity (E), Load intensity (w) and performance function (${\delta}$) in which E and w are inputs and ${\delta}$ is the output. The achievement of the developed models was weighed by various statistical parameters; one among the most primitive parameter is Coefficient of Determination ($R^2$) which has 0.998 for training and 0.989 for testing. The GRNN outperforms the other ELM and GPR models. Other different statistical computations have been carried out, which speaks out the errors and prediction performance in order to justify the capability of the developed models.

Tunnel convergence prediction is essential for the safe construction and design of tunnels. This study proposes five machine learning models of deep neural network (DNN), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), Gaussian process regression (GPR), support vector regression (SVR), and decision trees (DT) to predict the convergence phenomenon during or shortly after the excavation of tunnels. In this respect, a database including 650 datasets (440 for training, 110 for validation, and 100 for test) was gathered from the previously constructed tunnels. In the database, 12 effective parameters on the tunnel convergence and a target of tunnel wall convergence were considered. Both 5-fold and hold-out cross validation methods were used to analyze the predicted outcomes in the ML models. Finally, the DNN method was proposed as the most robust model. Also, to assess each parameter's contribution to the prediction problem, the backward selection method was used. The results showed that the highest and lowest impact parameters for tunnel convergence are tunnel depth and tunnel width, respectively.

In this paper, we discuss optimal design of Fuzzy Polynomial Neural Networks by means of Genetic Algorithms(GAs). Proceeding the layer, this model creates the optimal network architecture through the selection and the elimination of nodes by itself. So, there is characteristic of flexibility. We use a triangle and a Gaussian-like membership function in premise part of rules and design the consequent structure by constant and regression polynomial (linear, quadratic and modified quadratic) function between input and output variables. GAs is applied to improve the performance with optimal input variables and number of input variables and order. To evaluate the performance of the GAs-based FPNNs, the models are experimented with the use of Medical Imaging System(MIS) data.

In the past couple of years, there has been increasing interest in the fusion of neural networks and fuzzy logic. Most of the existing fused models have been proposed to implement different types of fuzzy reasoning mechanisms and inevitably they suffer from the dimensionality problem when dealing with complex real-world problem. To overcome the problem, we propose the self-organizing networks with activation nodes based on fuzzy inference and polynomial function. The proposed model consists of two parts, one is fuzzy nodes which each node is operated as a small fuzzy system with fuzzy implication rules, and its fuzzy system operates with Gaussian or triangular MF in Premise part and constant or regression polynomials in consequence part. the other is polynomial nodes which several types of high-order polynomials such as linear, quadratic, and cubic form are used and are connected as various kinds of multi-variable inputs. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, time series data for gas furnace process has been applied.
