This paper deals with a nonlinear system modelling using neural network and genetic algorithm Application q{ neural network to control and identification is actively studied because of their approximating ability of nonlinear function. It is important to design the neural network with optimal structure for minimum error and fast response time. Genetic algorithm is getting more popular nowadays because of their simplicity and robustness. in this paper, we optimize a neural network structure using genetic algorithm The genetic algorithm uses binary coding for neural network structure and searches for an optimal neural network structure of minimum error and fast response time. Through an extensive simulation, the optimal neural network structure is shown to be effective for identification of nonlinear system.

In this paper, a novel neural network compensation technique for PD like fuzzy controlled robot manipulators is presented. A standard PD-like fuzzy controller is designed and used as a main controller for controlling robot manipulators. A neural network controller is added to the reference trajectories to modify input error space so that the system is robust to any change in system parameter variations. It forms a neural-fuzzy control structure and used to compensate for nonlinear effects. The ultimate goal is same as that of the neuro-fuzzy control structure, but this proposed technique modifies the input error not the fuzzy rules. The proposed scheme is tested to control the position of the 3 degrees-of-freedom rotary robot manipulator. Performances are compared with that of other neural network control structure known as the feedback error learning structure that compensates at the control input level.

In this paper, we propose an growing and pruning algorithm to design the adaptive structure of modular wavelet neural network(MWNN) with F-projection and geometric growing criterion. Geometric growing criterion consists of estimated error criterion considering local error and angle criterion which attempts to assign wavelet function that is nearly orthogonal to all other existing wavelet functions. These criteria provide a methodology that a network designer can constructs wavelet neural network according to one's intention. The proposed growing algorithm grows the module and the size of modules. Also, the pruning algorithm eliminates unnecessary node of module or module from constructed MWNN to overcome the problem due to localized characteristic of wavelet neural network which is used to modules of MWNN. We apply the proposed constructing algorithm of the adaptive structure of MWNN to approximation problems of 1-D function and 2-D function, and evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

In general, Evoluationary Algorithm(EAs) are refered to as methods of population-based optimization. And EAs are considered as very efficient methods of optimal sytem design because they can provice much opportunity for obtaining the global optimal solution. This paper presents a co-evolution scheme of artifical neural networks, which has two different, still cooperatively working, populations, called as a host popuation and a parasite population, respectively. Using the conventional generatic algorithm the host population is evolved in the given environment, and the parastie population composed of schemata is evolved to find useful schema for the host population. the structure of artificial neural network is a diagonal recurrent neural netork which has self-feedback loops only in its hidden nodes. To find optimal neural networks we should take into account the structure of the neural network as well as the adaptive parameters, weight of neurons. So we use the genetic algorithm that searches the structure of the neural network by the co-evolution mechanism, and for the weights learning we adopted the evolutionary stategies. As a results of co-evolution we will find the optimal structure of the neural network in a short time with a small population. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed method are inspected by applying it to the stabilization and position control of the invered-pendulum system. And we will show that the result of co-evolution is better than that of the conventioal genetic algorithm.

And we show that the proposed approach provides an incremental additive learning algorithm, which is very simple and effective.

In this paper, the Bayesian recurrent neural network (BRNN) is proposed to predict time series data. Among the various traditional prediction methodologies, a neural network method is considered to be more effective in case of non-linear and non-stationary time series data. A neural network predictor requests proper learning strategy to adjust the network weights, and one need to prepare for non-linear and non-stationary evolution of network weights. The Bayesian neural network in this paper estimates not the single set of weights but the probability distributions of weights. In other words, we sets the weight vector as a state vector of state space method, and estimates its probability distributions in accordance with the Bayesian inference. This approach makes it possible to obtain more exact estimation of the weights. Moreover, in the aspect of network architecture, it is known that the recurrent feedback structure is superior to the feedforward structure for the problem of time series prediction. Therefore, the recurrent network with Bayesian inference, what we call BRNN, is expected to show higher performance than the normal neural network. To verify the performance of the proposed method, the time series data are numerically generated and a neural network predictor is applied on it. As a result, BRNN is proved to show better prediction result than common feedforward Bayesian neural network.

In this paper, we propose modular network to solve difficult and complex problems that are seldom solved with Multi-Layer Neural Network(MLNN). The structure of Modular Neural Network(MNN) in researched by Jacobs and jordan is selected in this paper. Modular network consists of several Expert Networks(EN) and a Gating Network(CN) which is composed of single-layer neural network(SLNN) or multi-layer neural network. We propose modular network structure using Recurrent Neural Network(RNN), since the state of the whole network at a particular time depends on aggregate of previous states as well as on the current input. Finally, we show excellence of the proposed network compared with modular network.

The application of Connectionist expert system using neural network to fault diagnosis of power system is presented and compared with rule-based expert system. Also, the merits of Connectionist model using neural network is presented. In this paper, the neural network for fault diagnosis is hierarchically composed by 3 neural network classes. The whole power system is divided into subsystems, the neural networks (Class II) which take charge of each subsystem and the neural network (Class III) which connects subsystems are composed. Every section of power system is classified into one of the typical sections which can be applied with same diagnosis rules, as line-section, bus-section, transformer-section. For each typical section, only one neural network (Class I) is composed. As the proposed model has hierarchical structure, the great reduction of learning structure is achieved. With parallel distributed processing, we show the possibility of on-line fault diagnosis.

This paper presents an efficient algorithm for the estimation of damage location and severity in structure using Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN). Artificial neural network has been being used for damage assessment by many researchers, but there are still some barriers that must be overcome to improve its accuracy and efficiency. The major problems with the conventional neural network are the necessity of many training data for neural network learning and ambiguity in the relation of neural network architecture with convergence of solution. In this paper, PNN is used as a pattern classifier to overcome those problems in the conventional neural network. The basic idea of damage assessment algorithm proposed in this paper is that modal characteristics from a damaged structure are compared with the training patterns which represent the damage in specific element to determine how close it is to training patterns in terms of the probability from PNN. The training pattern that gives a maximum probability implies that the element used in producing the training pattern is considered as a damaged one. The proposed damage assessment algorithm using PNN is applied to a 2-span continuous beam model structure to verify the algorithm.
