In this paper, a Neural Network(NN) based approach for classification of two dimensions images. The proposed algorithm is able to apply in the actual industry. The described diagnostic algorithm is presented to defect surface failures on tiles. A way to get data for a digital image process is several kinds of it. The tiles are scanned and the digital images are preprocessed and classified using neural networks. It is important to reduce the amount of input data with problem specific preprocessing. The auto-associative neural network is used for feature generation and selection while the probabilistic neural network is used for classification. The proposed algorithm is evaluated experimentally using one hundred of the real tile images. Sample image data to preprocess have histogram. The histogram is used as input value of probabilistic neural network. Auto-associative neural network compress input data and compressed data is classified using probabilistic neural network. Classified sample images are determined by human state. So it is intervened human subjectivity. But digital image processing and neural network are better than human classification ability. Therefore it is very useful of quality control improvement.

This paper presents a feasibility study on structural damage alarming and localization of long-span cable-supported bridges using multi-novelty indices formulated by monitoring-derived modal parameters. The proposed method which requires neither structural model nor damage model is applicable to structures of arbitrary complexity. With the intention to enhance the tolerance to measurement noise/uncertainty and the sensitivity to structural damage, an improved novelty index is formulated in terms of auto-associative neural networks (ANNs) where the output vector is designated to differ from the input vector while the training of the ANNs needs only the measured modal properties of the intact structure under in-service conditions. After validating the enhanced capability of the improved novelty index for structural damage alarming over the commonly configured novelty index, the performance of the improved novelty index for damage occurrence detection of large-scale bridges is examined through numerical simulation studies of the suspension Tsing Ma Bridge (TMB) and the cable-stayed Ting Kau Bridge (TKB) incurred with different types of structural damage. Then the improved novelty index is extended to formulate multi-novelty indices in terms of the measured modal frequencies and incomplete modeshape components for damage region identification. The capability of the formulated multi-novelty indices for damage region identification is also examined through numerical simulations of the TMB and TKB.

In the paper, we porpose a new mehtod of extending PLS(Partial Least Squares) regressiion method to nonlinear framework and apply it to the estimation of product compositions in high-purity distillation column. There have veen similar efforets to overcome drawbacks of PLS by using nonlinear-mapping ability of meural networks, however, they failed to show great improvement over PLS since they focused only in capturing nonlinear functional relationship between input data, not on nonlinear correlation inthe data set. By incorporating the structure of Robust Auto Associative Networks(RAAN) into that of previous nonlinear PLS, we can handle nonlinear correlation as well as nonlinear functional relationship. The application result shows that the proposed method performs better than previous ones even for nonlinearities caused by changing operating conditions, limited observations, and existence of meas-unrement noises.

An 'associative cube', a class of auto-associative memories, is revisited here, in which training data and hidden orthogonal basis functions such as wavelet packets or Fourier kernels, are combined in the weight cube. This weight cube has hidden units in its depth, represented by a three dimensional cubic structure. We develop an unsupervised incremental learning mechanism based upon the adaptive least squares method. Training data are mapped into orthogonal basis vectors in a least-squares sense by updating the weights which minimize an energy function. Therefore, a prescribed orthogonal kernel is incrementally assigned to an incoming data. Next, we show how a decoding procedure finds the closest one with a competitive network in the hidden layer. As noisy test data are applied to an associative cube, the nearest one among the original training data are restored in an optimal sense. The simulation results confirm robustness of associative cubes even if test data are heavily distorted by various types of noise.

In this paper, we propose the development of MHLA(Modulatory Hippocampus Learning Algorithm) which remodel a principle of brain of hippocampus. Hippocampus takes charge auto-associative memory and controlling functions of long-term or short-term memory strengthening. We organize auto-associative memory based 3 steps system(DG, CA3, CAl) and improve speed of learning by addition of modulator to long-term memory learning. In hippocampal system, according to the 3 steps order, information applies statistical deviation on Dentate Gyrus region and is labelled to responsive pattern by adjustment of a good impression. In CA3 region, pattern is reorganized by auto-associative memory. In CAI region, convergence of connection weight which is used long-term memory is learned fast by neural networks which is applied modulator. To measure performance of MHLA, PCA(Principal Component Analysis) is applied to face images which are classified by pose, expression and picture quality. Next, we calculate feature vectors and learn by MHLA. Finally, we confirm cognitive rate. The results of experiments, we can compare a proposed method of other methods, and we can confirm that the proposed method is superior to the existing method.

Sensor networks are usually composed of tens or thousands of tiny devices with limited resources. Because of their limited resources, many researchers have studied on the energy management in the WSNs(Wireless Sensor Networks), especially taking into account communications efficiency. For effective data transmission and sensor fault detection in sensor network environment, a new remote monitoring system based on PCA(Principle Component Analysis) and AANN(Auto Associative Neural Network) is proposed. PCA and AANN have emerged as a useful tool for data compression and identification of abnormal data. Proposed system can be effectively applied to sensor network working in LEA2C(Low Energy Adaptive Connectionist Clustering) routing algorithms. To verify its applicability, some simulation studies on the data obtained from real WSNs are executed.

A rules of fuzzy control is to represent an expert‘s and engineer‘s ambiguous control knowledge of system with some lingustic rules. This rule is very difficult to represent perfectly because expert‘s knowledge is not precise and the rule is not perfect. We propose the fuzzy reasoning and learning to upgrade precision of imperfect rules successively after system running. In the proposed method, the precision of the backward part of a fuzzy rule is improved by back propagation learning method. Also, the method reasons the compatibility degree of the forward part of fuzzy rule by associative memory method. This method this is successfully applied to design auto-parking fuzzy controller in which expert‘s technology and knowledge are required in the limited area.
