Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been widely used in pattern recognition and classification applications. However, ANNs are notably slow in computation especially when the size of data is large. Nowadays, big data has received a momentum from both industry and academia. To fulfill the potentials of ANNs for big data applications, the computation process must be speeded up. For this purpos...

This paper describes the time variant changes in satellite images using Self Organizing Feature Map (SOFM) technique associated with Artificial Neural Network. In this paper, we take a satellite image and find the time variant changes using above technique with the help of MATLAB. This paper reviews remotely sensed data analysis with neural networks. First, we present an overview of the main co...

The aim of this paper is to rank the impact of Object Oriented(OO) metrics in fault prediction modeling using Artificial Neural Networks(ANNs). Past studies on empirical validation of object oriented metrics as fault predictors using ANNs have focused on the predictive quality of neural networks versus standard statistical techniques. In this empirical study we turn our attention to the capabil...

The automatic classification of non stationary signals is an important practical goal in several domains. An essential classification task is to allocate the incoming signal to a group associated with the kind of physical phenomena producing it. In this paper, we present a modular system composed by three blocs: 1) Representation, 2) Dimensionality reduction and 3) Classification. The originali...

In recent years, due to the powerful abilities to deal with highly complex tasks, the artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been studied in the hope of achieving human-like performance in many applications. Since the ANNs have the ability to approximate complex functions from observations, it is straightforward to consider the ANNs for steganography. In this paper, we aim to implement the well...

Estimate of sediment load is required in a wide spectrum of water resources engineering problems. The nonlinear nature of suspended sediment load series necessitates the utilization of nonlinear methods to simulate the suspended sediment load. In this study Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are employed to estimate daily suspended sediment load. Two different ANN algorithms, Multi Layer Perce...

This paper presents an alternative approach to time series forecasting, through use of artificial neural networks (ANNs), a relatively new concept in hydrological research. Box and Jenkins ARMAX (autoregressive moving average with exogenous inputs) models have been widely used in modeling various time series with satisfactory results. This study shows that ANNs can produce comparable, to ARMAX,...

This article presents a new approach based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) to calculate the characteristic parameters of elliptic and circular-shaped microshield lines. Six learning algorithms, bayesian regularization (BR), Levenberg-Marquardt (LM), quasiNewton (QN), scaled conjugate gradient (SCG), resilient propagation (RP), and conjugate gradient of Fletcher-Reeves (CGF), are used to tr...

In this paper, different types of learning networks, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs), Bayesian neural networks (BNNs), support vector machines (SVMs) and Bayesian support vector machines (BSVMs) are applied for tornado forecasting. The last two approaches utilize kernel methods to address nonlinearity of the data in the input space. All methods are applied to forecast when tornadoes o...
