Comparative Performances of Stochastic Competitive Evolutionary Neural Tree (SCENT) with Neural Classifiers
نویسندگان
چکیده
A stochastic competitive evolutionary neural tree (SCENT) is described and evaluated against the best neural classifiers with equivalent functionality, using a collection of data sets chosen to provide a variety of clustering scenarios. SCENT is firstly shown to produce flat classifications at least as well as the other two neural classifiers used. Moreover its variability in performance over the data sets is shown to be small. In addition SCENT also produces a tree that can show any hierarchical structure contained in the data. For two real world data sets the tree captures hierarchical features of the data.

An Investigation into the performance and representations of a Stochastic, Evolutionary Neural Tree
The Stochastic Competitive Evolutionary Neural Tree (SCENT) is a new unsupervised neural net that dynamically evolves a representational structure in response to its training data. Uniquely SCENT requires no initial parameter setting as it autonomously creates appropriate parameterisation at runtime. Pruning and convergence are stochastically controlled using locally calculated heuristics. A th...
متن کاملAnalysing Hierarchical Data Using a Stochastic Evolutionary Neural Tree
SCENT is simple competitive neural network model that evolves a tree structured set of nodes in response to being presented with an unlabelled data set. The resulting set of weight vectors and their relationship can be viewed as giving a hierarchical classification of the training data. This paper examines the nature of this classification for two data sets over several runs of the network. The...

Machining processes such as end milling are the main steps of production which have major effect on the quality and cost of products. Surface roughness is one of the considerable factors that production managers tend to implement in their decisions. In this study, an artificial neural network is proposed to minimize the surface roughness by tuning the conditions of machining process such as cut...
