An Improved Constructive Neural Network Ensemble Approach to Medical Diagnoses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neural networks have played an important role in intelligent medical diagnoses. This paper presents an Improved Constructive Neural Network Ensemble (ICNNE) approach to three medical diagnosis problems. New initial structure of the ensemble, new freezing criterion, and a different error function are presented. Experiment results show that our ICNNE approach performed better for most problems.

متن کاملEnsemble strategies to build neural network to facilitate decision making
There are three major strategies to form neural network ensembles. The simplest one is the Cross Validation strategy in which all members are trained with the same training data. Bagging and boosting strategies pro-duce perturbed sample from training data. This paper provides an ideal model based on two important factors: activation function and number of neurons in the hidden layer and based u...
متن کاملAn artificial Neural Network approach to monitor and diagnose multi-attribute quality control processes
One of the existing problems of multi-attribute process monitoring is the occurrence of high number of false alarms (Type I error). Another problem is an increase in the probability of not detecting defects when the process is monitored by a set of independent uni-attribute control charts. In this paper, we address both of these problems and consider monitoring correlated multi-attributes proce...
متن کاملA constructive algorithm for training cooperative neural network ensembles
Presents a constructive algorithm for training cooperative neural-network ensembles (CNNEs). CNNE combines ensemble architecture design with cooperative training for individual neural networks (NNs) in ensembles. Unlike most previous studies on training ensembles, CNNE puts emphasis on both accuracy and diversity among individual NNs in an ensemble. In order to maintain accuracy among individua...
