LVQ Neural Network Based Classification Decision Approach to Mechanism Type in Conceptual Design
نویسنده
چکیده
A decision approach to mechanism type selection is presented, which employs LVQ neural network as classifier and decision-maker to recognize a satisfactory mechanism from a range of mechanisms achieving a required kinematic function. Through learning from correct samples extracted from different mechanisms, expert knowledge is acquired and expressed in the form of weight matrix by LVQ network. When selecting mechanism type, through digitizing the design requirements, converting into a characteristic factor set, and fed into the trained LVQ network, a satisfactory mechanism can be automatically recognized from a range of mechanisms with the same kinematic function. Under this approach, the problem of knowledge acquisition and expression can be effectively solved, and the rationality of the decision can be improved at some extent. It is verified this approach is feasible to perform mechanism type selection and possesses a better characteristic of pattern classification compared with BP neural network.

متن کاملAn Approach to Seafloor Classification with GA-Based Neural Network
SUMMARY The Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) Neural Network approach has been widely used in acoustic seafloor classification. However, one of its major weak points is the sensitivity to the initialization, affecting the seafloor classification accuracy. In this paper, Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to optimize the initial values of LVQ. The GA-based LVQ can rapidly provide the optimum initia...
