Co-evolution vs. Neural Networks; An Evaluation of UK Risky Money

An evaluation of UK risky money: an artificial intelligence approach

In this paper we compare the performance of three indices in an inflation forecasting experiment. The evidence not only suggests that an evolved neural network is superior to traditionally trained networks in the majority of cases, but also that a risky money index performs at least as well as the Bank of England Divisia index when combined with interest rate information. Notably, the provision...

Cooperative Co-Evolving Neural Networks for Robosoccer Simulation

Image Backlight Compensation Using Recurrent Functional Neural Fuzzy Networks Based on Modified Differential Evolution

In this study, an image backlight compensation method using adaptive luminance modification is proposed for efficiently obtaining clear images.The proposed method combines the fuzzy C-means clustering method, a recurrent functional neural fuzzy network (RFNFN), and a modified differential evolution.The proposed RFNFN is based on the two backlight factors that can accurately detect the compensat...

Estimation of Products Final Price Using Bayesian Analysis Generalized Poisson Model and Artificial Neural Networks

Estimating the final price of products is of great importance. For manufacturing companies proposing a final price is only possible after the design process over. These companies propose an approximate initial price of the required products to the customers for which some of time and money is required. Here using the existing data of already designed transformers and utilizing the bayesian anal...

A Differential Evolution and Spatial Distribution based Local Search for Training Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Network

Abstract   Many parameter-tuning algorithms have been proposed for training Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Networks (FWNNs). Absence of appropriate structure, convergence to local optima and low speed in learning algorithms are deficiencies of FWNNs in previous studies. In this paper, a Memetic Algorithm (MA) is introduced to train FWNN for addressing aforementioned learning lacks. Differential Evolution...
