In this paper, we introduce a new topology of Radial Basis Function-based Polynomial Neural Networks (RPNN) that is based on a genetically optimized multi-layer perceptron with Radial Polynomial Neurons (RPNs). This study offers a comprehensive design methodology involving mechanisms of optimization algorithms, especially Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering method and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms. In contrast to the typical architectures encountered in Polynomial Neural Networks (PNNs), our main objective is to develop a design strategy of RPNNs as follows : (a) The architecture of the proposed network consists of Radial Polynomial Neurons (RPNs). In here, the RPN is fully reflective of the structure encountered in numeric data which are granulated with the aid of Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering method. The RPN dwells on the concepts of a collection of radial basis function and the function-based nonlinear (polynomial) processing. (b) The PSO-based design procedure being applied at each layer of RPNN leads to the selection of preferred nodes of the network (RPNs) whose local characteristics (such as the number of input variables, a collection of the specific subset of input variables, the order of the polynomial, and the number of clusters as well as a fuzzification coefficient in the FCM clustering) can be easily adjusted. The performance of the RPNN is quantified through the experimentation where we use a number of modeling benchmarks - NOx emission process data of gas turbine power plant and learning machine data(Automobile Miles Per Gallon Data) already experimented with in fuzzy or neurofuzzy modeling. A comparative analysis reveals that the proposed RPNN exhibits higher accuracy and superb predictive capability in comparison to some previous models available in the literature.

In recent years, various artificial neural network algorithms are used in the damage assessment of civil infrastructures. So far, many researchers have used the artificial neural network as a pattern classifier for the structural damage assessment but, in this paper, the neural network is used as a structural reanalysis tool not as a pattern classifier. For the model updating using the optimization algorithm, the summation of the absolute differences in the structural vibration modes between undamaged structures and damaged ones is considered as an objective function. The stiffness of structural components are treated as unknown parameters to be determined. The structural damage detection is achieved using model updating based on the optimization techniques which determine the estimated stiffness of components minimizing the objective function. For the verification of the proposed damage identification algorithm, it is numerically applied to a simply supported bridge model.

An optimization approach is used to solve the division problem of working area, and a cost function is defined to represent the constraints on the solution, which is then mapped onto the Hopfield neural network for minimization. Each neuron in the network represents a possible combination among many components. Division is achieved by initializing each neuron that represents a possible combination and then allowing the network settle down into a stable state. The network uses the initialized inputs and the compatibility measures among components in order to divide working area.

A stable neural network control scheme for unknown non-linear systems is developed in this paper. While the control variable is optimised to minimize the performance index, convergence of the index is guaranteed asymptotically stable by a Lyapnov control law. The optimization is achieved using a gradient descent searching algorithm and is consequently slow. A fast convergence algorithm using an adaptive learning rate is employed to speed up the convergence. Application of the stable control to a single input single output (SISO) non-linear system is simulated. The satisfactory control performance is obtained.

In this paper, we proposed an block-based evolvable neural network(BENN). The BENN can optimize it＇s structure and weights simultaneously. It can be easily implemented by FPGA whose connection and internal functionality can be reconfigured. To solve the local minima problem that is caused gradient descent learning algorithm, genetic algorithms are applied for optimizing the proposed evolvable neural network model.

This study proposes a neural network for solving optimization problems such as the TSP (Travelling Salesman Problem), scheduling, and line balancing. The Hopfield network has been used for solving such problems, but it frequently gives abnormal solutions or non-optimal ones. Moreover, the Hopfield network takes much time especially in solving large size problems. To overcome such disadvantages, this study adopts nodes whose outputs changes with a fixed value at every evolution. The proposed network is applied to solving a TSP, finding the shortest path for visiting all the cities, each of which is visted only once. Here, the travelling path is reflected to the energy function of the network. The proposed network evolves to globally minimize the energy function, and a ...

A novel approach has been promoted for FNN ship controllers. An Electro-hydraulic governor has been widely adopted to the ship speed control of propulsion marine diesel engines for a long time, it was very difficult for Electro-hydraulic governor to regulate the speed of high power engine with long stroke at low speed and low load, because of the jiggling phenomena by rough fluctuation of rotating torque and the hunting phenomena by long dead time occurred in fuel combustion process in the engine cylinder. This paper provides an efficient way for improving control performance by FNN controller. An RBF neural network and GA optimization are employed in a fuzzy neural controller to deal with the nonlinearity, time varying and uncertain factors, the rule base and membership functions can be auto-adjusted by GA optimization. The parameters of neural network can be decreased by using union-rule configuration in the hidden layer of the network. The performance of controller is evaluated by the system simulation using simulink tools.

The conventional approximate optimization method, which uses the statistical design of experiments(DOE) and response surface method(RSM), can derive an approximated optimum results through the iterative process by a trial and error. The quality of results depends seriously on the factors and levels assigned by a designer. The purpose of this study is to propose a new technique, which is called a sequential design of experiments(SDOE), to reduce a trial and error procedure and to find an appropriate condition for using artificial neural network(ANN) systematically. An appropriate condition is determined from the iterative process based on the analysis of means. With this new technique and ANN, it is possible to find an optimum design accurately and efficiently. The suggested algorithm has been applied to various mathematical examples and a structural problem.

The success of a fuzzy neural network(FNN) control system solving any given problem critically depends on the architecture of the network. Various attempts have been made in optimizing its structure using genetic algorithm automated designs. This paper presents a new approach to structurally optimized designs of FNN models. A messy genetic algorithm is used to obtain structurally optimized FNN models. Structural optimization is regarded important before neural networks based learning is switched into. We have applied the method to the problem of a numerical approximation

본 논문에서는 대표적인 시스템 모델링 도구중의 하나인 RBF 뉴럴 네트워크(Radial Basis Function Neural Network)를 설계하고 모델을 최적화하기 위하여 최적화 알고리즘인 PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization) 알고리즘을 이용하였다. 즉, 모델의 최적화에 주요한 영향을 미치는 모델의 파라미터들을 PSO 알고리즘을 이용하여 동정한다. 제안된 RBF 뉴럴 네트워크는 은닉층에서의 활성함수로서 일반적으로 많이 사용되어지는 가우시안 커널함수를 사용한다. 더 나아가 모델의 최적화를 위하여 각 커널함수의 중심값은 HCM 클러스터링에 기반을 두어 중심값을 결정하고, PSO 알고리즘을 통하여 가우시안 커널함수의 분포상수, 은닉층에서의 노드 수 그리고 다수의 입력을 가질 경우 입력의 종류를 동정한다. 제안한 모델의 성능을 평가하기 위해 Mackey-Glass 시계열 공정 데이터를 적용하였으며 제안된 모델의 근사화와 일반화 능력을 분석한다.
