While the multilayer perceptron(MLP) provides several advantages against the existing pattern recognition methods, it requires relatively long time in learning. This results in prolonging speaker enrollment time with a speaker verification system that uses the MLP as a classifier. This paper proposes a method that shortens the enrollment time through adopting the cohort speakers method used in the existing parametric systems and reducing the number of background speakers required to learn the MLP, and confirms the effect of the method by showing the result of an experiment that applies the method to a continuant and MLP-based speaker verification system.

폴리우레탄 코팅포의 촉감을 예측하기 위하여 신경망 이론이 사용되었다. 본 연구에서는 Neural Connection의 MLP(Multi Layer Perceptron)를 신경망 분석에 사용하였으며, 학습 알고리즘은 백프로파게인션(Backpropagation)을 이용하였다. 사용된 변수는 KES-FB시스템에서 측정된 17가지 역학적 특성치를 설명변수, 촉감치를 목표변수로 하였다. 폴리우레탄 코팅포의 촉감을 정확하게 예측할 수 있는 신경망 모델을 찾기 위해, 은닉층의 노드수를 8에서 34로 변화시켜 보았다. 또한 MLP적용함수로 선형함수, 비선형 시그모이드함수, 탄젠트 함수를 사용하여 목표변수를 예측하여 모형의 정확도를 살펴보았다. 구축된 신경망모델은 17가지 역학적특성치 자료를 이용하여 학습되었으며 학습 완료 후 학습에 사용되지 않은 시료를 시스템에 적용하여 학습된 신경망 시스템이 촉감을 평가하게 한 후 주관적으로 평가된 촉감치와 비교하여 본 시스템의 판단의 정확성을 평가하도록 하였다. 은닉층의 노드수와 MLP적용함수는 촉감예측에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났는데, 촉감 예측에 가장 적절한 모형은 MLP 적용함수가 탄젠트 함수이고 노드수가 22인 것으로 나타났다. 신경망을 통한 폴리우레탄 코팅포의 촉감 예측력은 선행연구에서 이용된 통계적 방법보다 높게 나타나 폴리우레탄 코팅포의 촉감예측에 신경망의 이용은 효과적인 것으로 밝혀졌다.

In this study, the defect diagnosis of the gas turbine engine was tried using Support Vector Machine(SVM). It is known that SVM can find the optimal solution mathematically through classifying two groups and searching for the Hyperplane of the arbitrary nonlinear boundary. The method for the decision of the gas turbine defect quantitatively was proposed using the Multi Layer SVM for classifying two groups and it was verified that SVM was shown quicker and more reliable diagnostic results than the existing Multi Layer Perceptron(MLP).

Dynamic neural networks have been applied to diverse fields requiring temporal signal processing such as signal prediction. This paper proposes the hybrid network, composed of locally(LRNN) and globally recurrent neural networks(GRNN), to improve dynamics of multilayered recurrent networks(RNN) and then describes nonlinear adaptive prediction using the proposed network as an adaptive filter. The hybrid network consists of IIR-MLP and Elman RNN as LRNN and GRNN, respectively. The proposed network is evaluated in nonlinear signal prediction and compared with Elman RNN and IIR-MLP networks for the relative comparison of prediction performance. Experimental results show that the hybrid network performs better with respect to convergence speed and accuracy, indicating that the proposed network can be a more effective prediction model than conventional multilayered recurrent networks in nonlinear prediction for nonstationary signals.

The present paper deals with the continuous works of extending the multi-dimensional limiting process (MLP) for compressible flows, which has been quite successful in finite volume methods, into discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods. From the series of the previous, it was observed that the MLP shows several superior characteristics, such as an efficient controlling of multi-dimensional oscillations and accurate capturing of both discontinuous and continuous flow features. Mathematically, fundamental mechanism of oscillation-control in multiple dimensions has been established by satisfaction of the maximum principle. The MLP limiting strategy is extended into DG framework, which takes advantage of higher-order reconstruction within compact stencil, to capture detailed flow structures very accurately. At the present, it is observed that the proposed approach yields outstanding performances in resolving non-compressive as well as compressive flaw features. In the presentation, further numerical analyses and results are going to be presented to validate that the newly developed DG-MLP methods provide quite desirable performances in controlling numerical oscillations as well as capturing key flow features.

While multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) have great possibility on the application to speaker verification, they suffer from inferior learning speed. To appeal to users, the speaker verification systems based on MLPs must achieve a reasonable enrolling speed and it is thoroughly dependent on the fast teaming of MLPs. To attain real-time enrollment on the systems, the previous two studies have been devoted to the problem and each satisfied the objective. In this paper, the two studies are combined and applied to the systems, on the assumption that each method operates on different optimization principle. By conducting experiments using an MLP-based speaker verification system to which the combination is applied on real speech database, the feasibility of the combination is verified from the results of the experiments.

The statistical regression model is one of the most frequently used clinical analysis methods. It has basic assumption of linearity, additivity and normal distribution of data. However, most of biological data in medical field are nonlinear and unevenly distributed. To overcome the discrepancy between the basic assumption of statistical model and actual biological data, we propose a new analytical method based on artificial neural network. The newly developed multilayer perceptron(MLP) is trained with 120 data set (60 normal, 60 patient). On applying test data, it shows the discrimination power of 0.76. The diabetic risk factors were also identified from the MLP neural network model and the logistic regression model. The signigicant risk factors identified by MLP model were post prandial glucose level(PP2), sex(male), fasting blood sugar(FBS) level, age, SBP, AC and WHR. Those from the regression model are sex(male), PP2, age and FBS. The combined risk factors can be identified using the MLP model. Those are total cholesterol and body weight, which is consistent with the result of other clinical studies. From this experiment we have learned that MLP can be applied to the combined risk factor analysis of biological data which can not be provided by the conventional statistical method.

In this paper, we propose a new MLP based detector which has low circuit complexity and fast adaptation capability for CDMA downlink in frequency selective fading, and is easy for parameter optimization. The simplified structure of the proposed MLP is designed by making use of transmission characteristics of downlinks such that all users signals transmitted over same propagation paths and the number of channelization codes are limited. Significant performance improvement over Rake receiver can be obtained with the proposed MLP and the efficiency of the proposed MLP was compared with that of conventional MLP.

Of the total economic loss caused by disasters, 40% are due to floods and floods have a severe impact on human health and life. So, it is important to monitor the water level of a river and to issue a flood warning during unfavorable circumstances. In this paper, we propose a modified error function to improve a hydrological modeling using a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network. When MLP's are trained to minimize the conventional mean-squared error function, the prediction performance is poor because MLP's are highly tunned to training data. Our goal is achieved by preventing overspecialization to training data, which is the main reason for performance degradation for rare or test data. Based on the modified error function, an MLP is trained to predict the water level with rainfall data at upper reaches. Through simulations to predict the water level of Nakdong River near a UNESCO World Heritage Site "Hahoe Village," we verified that the prediction performance of MLP with the modified error function is superior to that with the conventional mean-squared error function, especially maximum error of 40.85cm vs. 55.51cm.

Dynamic neural networks have been applied to diverse fields requiring temporal signal processing. This paper describes system identification using the hybrid neural network, composed of locally(LRNN) and globally recurrent neural networks(GRNN) to improve dynamics of multilayered recurrent networks(RNN). The structure of the hybrid nework combines IIR-MLP as LRNN and Elman RNN as GRNN. The hybrid network is evaluated in linear and nonlinear system identification, and compared with Elman RNN and IIR-MLP networks for the relative comparison of its performance. Simulation results show that the hybrid network performs better with respect to the convergence and accuracy, indicating that it can be a more effective network than conventional multilayered recurrent networks in system identification.
