Calibrating artificial neural networks by global optimization
An artificial neural network (ANN) is a computational model − implemented as a computer program − that is aimed at emulating the key features and operations of biological neural networks. ANNs are extensively used to model unknown or unspecified functional relationships between the input and output of a “black box” system. In order to apply such a generic procedure to actual decision problems, ...
متن کاملGlobal optimization for artificial neural networks: A tabu search application
The ability of neural networks to closely approximate unknown functions to any degree of desired accuracy has generated considerable demand for Neural Network research in Business. The attractiveness of neural network research stems from researchers’ need to approximate models within the business environment without having a priori knowledge about the true underlying function. Gradient techniqu...
متن کاملMonthly runoff forecasting by means of artificial neural networks (ANNs)
Over the last decade or so, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools formodelling hydrological processes such as rainfall runoff processes. However, the employment of a single model doesnot seem to be an appropriate approach for modelling such a complex, nonlinear, and discontinuous process thatvaries in space and time. For this reason, this study aims at de...
متن کاملEvolutionary artificial neural networks by multi-dimensional particle swarm optimization
In this paper, we propose a novel technique for the automatic design of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) by evolving to the optimal network configuration(s) within an architecture space. It is entirely based on a multi-dimensional Particle Swarm Optimization (MD PSO) technique, which re-forms the native structure of swarm particles in such a way that they can make inter-dimensional passes with...
متن کاملEstimating and modeling monthly mean daily global solar radiation on horizontal surfaces using artificial neural networks
In this study, an artificial neural network based model for prediction of solar energy potential in Kerman province in Iran has been developed. Meteorological data of 12 cities for period of 17 years (1997–2013) and solar radiation for five cities around and inside Kerman province from the Iranian Meteorological Office data center were used for the training and testing the network. Meteorologic...
