چکیده

FTSET is a software tool that deals with fault tolerance of Artificial Neural Networks. This tool is capable of evaluating the fault tolerance degree of a previously trained Artificial Neural Network given its inputs ranges, the weights and the architecture. The FTSET is also capable of improving the fault tolerance by applying a technique of splitting the connections of the network that are more important to form the output. This technique improves fault tolerance without changing the network’s output. The paper is concluded by two examples that show the application of the FTSET to different Artificial Neural Networks and the improvement of the fault tolerance obtained.

Fault Tolerance Simulation and Evaluation Tool for Artificial Neural Networks

This paper presents the FTSET tool for fault tolerance evaluation and improvement of Artificial Neural Networks. Fault tolerance is a characteristic of parallel distributed systems such as neural networks. Although there is a built-in fault tolerance in neural networks, it is possible to improve this characteristic, but changing the structure of an artificial neural network to improve its fault...

Detection of Single and Dual Incipient Process Faults Using an Improved Artificial Neural Network

Changes in the physicochemical conditions of process unit, even under control, may lead to what are generically referred to as faults. The cognition of causes is very important, because the system can be diagnosed and fault tolerated. In this article, we discuss and propose an artificial neural network that can detect the incipient and gradual faults either individually or mutually. The mai...
