In this paper. we introduce a new structure of fuzzy-neural networks Fuzzy Set-based Polynomial Neural Networks (FSPNN). The two underlying design mechanisms of such networks involve genetic optimization and information granulation. The resulting constructs are Fuzzy Polynomial Neural Networks (FPNN) with fuzzy set-based polynomial neurons (FSPNs) regarded as their generic processing elements. First, we introduce a comprehensive design methodology (viz. a genetic optimization using Genetic Algorithms) to determine the optimal structure of the FSPNNs. This methodology hinges on the extended Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) and fuzzy set-based rules. It concerns FSPNN-related parameters such as the number of input variables, the order of the polynomial, the number of membership functions, and a collection of a specific subset of input variables realized through the mechanism of genetic optimization. Second, the fuzzy rules used in the networks exploit the notion of information granules defined over systems variables and formed through the process of information granulation. This granulation is realized with the aid of the hard C-Means clustering (HCM). The performance of the network is quantified through experimentation in which we use a number of modeling benchmarks already experimented with in the realm of fuzzy or neurofuzzy modeling.

This paper proposes the hybrid algorithm for the optimization of the structure and parameters of the fuzzy neural networks by genetic algorithms (GA) to improve the behaviour and the design of fuzzy neural networks. Fuzzy neural networks have a distinguishing feature in that they can possess the advantage of both neural networks and fuzzy systems. In this way, we can bring the low-level learning and computational power of neural networks into fuzzy systems and also high-level, human like IF-THEN rule thinking and reasoning of fuzzy systems into neural networks. As a result, there are many research works concerning the optimization of the structure and parameters of fuzzy neural networks. In this paper, we propose the hybrid algorithm that can optimize both the structure and parameters of fuzzy neural networks. Numerical example is provided to show the advantages of the proposed method.

In order to approximate a nonlinear function, wacelet neural networks combining wacelet theory and neural networks have been proposed as an alternative to conventional multi-layered neural networks. wacelet neural networks provide better approximating performance than conventional neural networks.

Then, these determined dilations dilations and translations, wavelet neural networks are funther trained by back propagation learning algorithm. The effectiveness of the final network is verified thrifigh the approximation result of a nonlinear function and comparison with conventional neural networks.

This paper proposes GAPS, a practical genetic algorithm based pathfinding system for conveniently analyzing various networks. To this end, the GAPS is developed through integration of the intuitive graphic user interface for network modeling, the database management system for managing the data generated in modeling and exploring procedures, and a simple genetic algorithm for analyzing a wide range of networks. Especially, previous genetic algorithms are not appropriate for analyzing the networks with many dead-ends where there are few feasible paths between the given two nodes, however, GAPS is based on the genetic algorithm with the fitness function appropriate for evaluating both feasible and infeasible paths, which enables GAPS to analyze a wide range of networks while maintaining the diversity of the population. The experiment results reveal that GAPS can be used to analyze both networks with many dead-ends and networks with few dead-ends conveniently, and GAPS has several advantages over the previous genetic algorithms for pathfinding problems.

In this paper, we discuss optimal design of Fuzzy Polynomial Neural Networks by means of Genetic Algorithms(GAs) using symbolic coding for non-linear data. One of the major subject of genetic algorithms is representation of chromosomes. The proposed model optimized by the means genetic algorithms which used symbolic code to represent chromosomes. The proposed gFPNN used a triangle and a Gaussian-like membership function in premise part of rules and design the consequent structure by constant and regression polynomial (linear, quadratic and modified quadratic) function between input and output variables. The performance of the proposed model is quantified through experimentation that exploits standard data already used in fuzzy modeling. These results reveal superiority of the proposed networks over the existing fuzzy and neural models.

In this paper, we consider the problems of the evolutionary designed neural networks structures by genetic algorithm. Neural networks has been applied to various application fields since back-propagation algorithm was proposed, e.g. function approximation, pattern or character recognition and so on. However, one of difficulties to use the neural networks. It is how to design the structure of the neural network. Researchers and users design networks structures and training parameters such as learning rate and momentum rate and so on, by trial and error based on their experiences. In the case of designing large scales neural networks, it is very hard work for manually design by try and error. For this difficulty, various structural learning algorithms have been proposed. Especially, the technique of using genetic algorithm for networks structures design has been ...

The GAs-FPNN model is select tuning to input variable number, number of input variable and the last part structure through optimal search of Genetic Algorithms. It is shown that nonlinear data model design using Genetic Algorithms based FPNN is more usefulness and effectiveness than the existing models.

This paper presents several softcomputing techniques such as neural networks, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms : Neural networks as brain metaphor provide fundamental structure, fuzzy logic gives a possibility to utilize top-down knowledge from designer, and genetic algorithms as evolution metaphor determine several system parameters with the process of bottom up development. With these techniques, we develop a pattern recognizer which consists of multiple neural networks aggregated by fuzzy integral in which genetic algorithms determine the fuzzy density values. The experimental results with the problem of recognizing totally unconstrained handwritten numeral show that the performance of the proposed method is superior to that of conventional methods.

Composite material has very excellent mechanical properties including tensile stress and specific strength. Especially impact loads may be expected in many of the engineering applications of it. The suitability of composite material for such applications is determined not only by the usual paramenters, but its impactor energy-absorbing properties. Composite material under impact load has poor mechanical behavior and so needs tailoring its structure. Genetic algorithms(GA) is probabilistic optimization technique by principle of natural genetics and natural selection and neural networks(NN) is useful for prediction operation on the basis of learned data. Therefore, This study presents optimization techniques on the basis of genetic algorithms and neural networks to minimum stiffness design of laminated composite material.
