in this paper, two methods have been used: multi-layer perceptron artificial neural network (ann-mlp) and universal kriging to estimate of velocity field. neural network is an information processing system which is formed by a large number of simple processing elements, known as artificial nerves. it is formed by a number of nodes and weights connecting the nodes. the input data are multiplied ...

This paper proposes an intelligent approach for dynamic identification of the vehicles. The proposed approach is based on the data-driven identification and uses a high-performance local model network (LMN) for estimation of the vehicle’s longitudinal velocity, lateral acceleration and yaw rate. The proposed LMN requires no pre-defined standard vehicle model and uses measurement data to identif...

Abstract Erosion and sedimentation are the most complicated problems in hydrodynamic which are very important in water-related projects of arid and semi-arid basins. For this reason, the presence of suitable methods for good estimation of suspended sediment load of rivers is very valuable. Solving hydrodynamic equations related to these phenomenons and access to a mathematical-conceptual mode...

In this paper, we present a neural network architecture that belongs to the multi-layer perceptron family, associated with two different algorithms: the ordinary gradient and the natural gradient, we compare performances of those algorithms. The identification of a non-normalized power amplifier yielded to the introduction of an additional weight in the classical multilayer perceptron structure...

To estimate the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), indirect manner used of Pedotransfer Functions (PTFs). CEC is one of the important soil fertility factors, and not measured directly because it is costly and time consuming. Thus, used from regression equations between easily and non-easily soil properties. The purpose of this research, is develop the PTFs for CEC, with use of easily available soi...

This report examines the fault tolerance of multi-layer perceptron networks. First, the operation of a single perceptron unit is analysed, and it is found that they are highly fault tolerant. This suggests that neural networks composed from these units could in theory be extremely reliable. The multi-layer perceptron network was then examined, but surprisingly was found to be non-fault tolerant...

The present paper presented a methodology for prioritizing the innovative and entrepreneurial indicators using Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), taking into account three individual, organizational and cultural dimensions simultaneously in decision making procedure. This methodology has two main advantages: first, the speed of operation in the accounti...

A multilayer perceptron is a feed forward artificial neural network model that maps sets of input data onto a set of appropriate output. It is a modification of the standard linear perceptron in that it uses three or more layers of neurons (nodes) with nonlinear activation functions and is more powerful than the perceptron in that it can distinguish data that is not linearly separable, or separ...
