چکیده

Extracting rules from RBFs is not a trivial task because of nonlinear functions or high input dimensionality. In such cases, some of the hidden units of the RBF network have a tendency to be “shared” across several output classes or even may not contribute to any output class. To address this we have developed an algorithm called LREX (for Local Rule EXtraction) which tackles these issues by extracting rules at two levels: hREX extracts rules by examining the hidden unit to class assignments while mREX extracts rules based on the input space to output space mappings. The rules extracted by our algorithm are compared and contrasted against a competing local rule extraction system. The central claim of this paper is that local function networks such as radial basis function (RBF) networks have a suitable architecture based on Gaussian functions that is amenable to rule extraction.

Using Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms for Modelling and Multi-objective Optimal Heat Exchange through a Tube Bank

In this study, by using a multi-objective optimization technique, the optimal design points of forced convective heat transfer in tubular arrangements were predicted upon the size, pitch and geometric configurations of a tube bank. In this way, the main concern of the study is focused on calculating the most favorable geometric characters which may gain to a maximum heat exchange as well as a m...

Modeling and Multi-Objective Optimization of Stall Control on NACA0015 Airfoil with a Synthetic Jet using GMDH Type Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms

This study concerns numerical simulation, modeling and optimization of aerodynamic stall control using a synthetic jet actuator. Thenumerical simulation was carried out by a large-eddy simulation that employs a RNG-based model as the subgrid-scale model. The flow around a NACA0015 airfoil, including a synthetic jet located at 10 % of the chord, is studied under Reynolds number Re = 12.7 × 106 a...
