Multilayer Feedforward Neural Network for Internet Traffic Classification

A Multilayer Feedforward Neural Network Model for Digital Hardware Implementation

A design algorithm for two-layer feedforward neural networks (2FNNs) for discrete input-output mapping is proposed. In this algorithm, uniformly quantized discrete weights are used, which could be in the form of either onepowers-of-two (OPOT) values or sum-of-powers-of-two (SPOT) values. The simplified sigmoid activation functions (SSAFs) are used at hidden neurons and the step functions are us...

Optimizing Feedforward Neural Network of Classification Problems

Many researchers have proposed pruning algorithms in numerous ways to optimize the network architecture (Castellano et al., 1997; Ahmmed et al., 2007; Henrique et al., 2000; Ponnapalli et al., 1999). Reed (1993) and Engelbrecht (2001) have given detailed surveys of pruning algorithms. Each algorithm has its own advantages and limitations. Some algorithms (Engelbrecht, 2001; Xing & Hu, 2009) pru...

Evolutionary Design of Constructive Multilayer Feedforward Neural Network

This paper proposes an evolutionary design methodology of multilayer feedforward neural networks based on constructive approach. We elaborate an adjustable processing element as primitive neuron model. The neural layer can be constructed by assembling several neurons. The multilayer neural network can be finally constructed through cascading several neural layers. The constructive approach faci...
