In this study, Polynomial Network Pattern Classifier(PNC) based on Fuzzy Inference Mechanism is designed and its parameters such as learning rate, momentum coefficient and fuzzification coefficient are optimized by means of Particle Swarm Optimization. The proposed PNC employes a partition function created by Fuzzy C-means(FCM) clustering as an activation function in hidden layer and polynomials weights between hidden layer and output layer. Using polynomials weights can help to improve the characteristic of the linear classification of basic neural networks classifier. In the viewpoint of linguistic analysis, the proposed classifier is expressed as a collection of "If-then" fuzzy rules. Namely, architecture of networks is constructed by three functional modules that are condition part, conclusion part and inference part. The condition part relates to the partition function of input space using FCM clustering. In the conclusion part, a polynomial function caries out the presentation of a partitioned local space. Lastly, the output of networks is gotten by fuzzy inference in the inference part. The proposed PNC generates a nonlinear discernment function in the output space and has the better performance of pattern classification as a classifier, because of the characteristic of polynomial based fuzzy inference of PNC.

In this paper, a nonlinear classifier of a feed-forward neural network is implemented on an FPGA chip. The feedforward neural network is implemented in hardware for fast parallel processing. After off line training of neural network, weight values are saved and used to perform forward propagation of neural processing. As an example, AND and XOR digital logic classification is conducted in off line, and then weight values are used in neural network. Experiments are conducted successfully and confirmed that the FPGA neural network hardware works well.

This paper presents a method of detecting surface flaw of cold-rolled steel plate using image processing technique and a neural network classifier. The amount of steel plate surface image data is reduced by the wavelet transform. Features are extracted from the co-occurence matrix of the partial image corresponding to the low-frequency region, and a MLP neural network classifies into predetermined surface flaw categories. Simulations show the neural network classifier outperforms conventional vector quantization method.

This paper presents a method for classification of underwater transient signals using, which employs a binary image pattern of the mel-frequency cepstral coefficients(MFCC) as a feature vector and a neural network as a classifier. A feature vector is obtained by taking DCT and 1-bit quantization for the square matrix of the MFCC sequences. The classifier is a feed-forward neural network having one hidden layer and one output layer, and a back propagation algorithm is used to update the weighting vector of each layer. Experimental results with some underwater transient signals demonstrate that the proposed method is very promising for classification of underwater transient signals.

A classifier was constructed by using a generalized regression neural network (GRU) and random generator (RG), which was applied to classify DNA sequences. Three data sets evaluated are eukaryotic and prokaryotic sequences (Data-I), eukaryotic sequences (Data-II), and prokaryotic sequences (Data-III). For each data set, the classifier performance was examined in terms of the total classification sensitivity (TCS), individual classification sensitivity (ICS), total prediction accuracy (TPA), and individual prediction accuracy (IPA). For a given spread, the RG played a role of generating a number of sets of spreads for gaussian functions in the pattern layer Compared to the GRNN, the RG-GRNN significantly improved the TCS by more than 50%, 60%, and 40% for Data-I, Data-II, and Data-III, respectively. The RG-GRNN also demonstrated improved TPA for all data types. In conclusion, the proposed RG-GRNN can effectively be used to classify a large, multivariable promoter sequences.

The human chromosome analysis is widely used to diagnose genetic disease and various congenital anomalies. Many researches on automated chromosome karyotype analysis have been carried out, some of which produced commercial systems. However, there still remains much room for improving the accuracy of chromosome classification. In this paper, We proposed an optimal pattern classifier by neural network to improve the accuracy of chromosome classification. The proposed pattern classifier was built up of two-step multi-layer neural network(TMANN). We reconstructed chromosome image to improve the chromosome classification accuracy and extracted four morphological features parameters such as centromeric index (C.I.), relative length ratio(R.L.), relative area ratio(R.A.) and chromosome length(C.L.). These Parameters employed as input in neural network by preprocessing twenty human chromosome images. The experiment results shown that the chromosome classification error was reduced much more than that of the other classification methods.

Heart sound is used for a basic clinical examination to check for abnormalities in the lungs and heart that can be heard with a stethoscope or phonocardiography. In this paper, we try to find an easier and non-invasive method to diagnose heart diseases using neural network classifier. The classifier has been developed for one normal heart sound and five murmurs by using Shannon entropy and conjugate scaled back propagation algorithm. The experimental results showed that the classification is possible with 1.63185e-6 of classification error.

This paper explores the utility of a new classifier fusion approach to discrimination. Multiple classifier fusion, a popular approach in the field of pattern recognition, uses estimates of each individual classifier's local accuracy on training data sets. In this paper we investigate the effectiveness of fusion methods compared to individual algorithms, including the artificial neural network and k-nearest neighbor techniques. Moreover, we propose an efficient meta-classifier architecture based on an approximation of the posterior Bayes probabilities for learning the oracle.

A new method is presented to construct a classifier. This was accomplished by combining a generalized regression neural network (GRNN) and a genetic algorithm (GA). The classifier constructed in this way is referred to as a GA-GRNN. The GA played a role of controlling training factors simultaneously. In GA optimization, neuron spreads were represented in a chromosome. The proposed optimization method was applied to a data set, consisted of 4 different promoter sequences. The training and test data were composed of 115 and 58 sequence patterns, respectively. The range of neuron spreads was experimentally varied from 0.4 to 1.4 with an increment of 0.1. The GA-GRNN was compared to a conventional GRNN. The classifier performance was investigated in terms of the classification sensitivity and prediction accuracy. The GA-GRNN significantly improved the total classification sensitivity compared to the conventional GRNN. Also, the GA-GRNN demonstrated an improvement of about 10.1% in the total prediction accuracy. As a result, the proposed GA-GRNN illustrated improved classification sensitivity and prediction accuracy over the conventional GRNN.
