The goal of this paper is to compare and analyze the forecasting performance of two artificial neural network models (i.e., MLP (multi-layer perceptron) and DNN (deep neural network)), and to conduct an experimental investigation by data flow, not economic flow. In this paper, we investigate beyond the scope of simple predictions, and conduct research based on the merits and data of each model,...

background: brain tissue segmentation for delineation of 3d anatomical structures from magnetic resonance (mr) images can be used for neuro-degenerative disorders, characterizing morphological differences between subjects based on volumetric analysis of gray matter (gm), white matter (wm) and cerebrospinal fluid (csf), but only if the obtained segmentation results are correct. due to image arti...

This paper reports a comparative study between continuous hidden Markov model (CHMM) and artificial neural network (ANN) on text dependent, closed set speaker identification (SID) system with Thai language recording in office environment. Thai isolated digit 0-9 and their concatenation are used as speaking text. Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) are selected as the studied features. Tw...

prediction of the heavy metals in the groundwater is important in developing any appropriate remediation strategy. this paper attempts to predict heavy metals (pb, zn and cu) in the groundwater from arak city, using artificial neural network (ann) algorithm by taking major elements (hco3, so4) in the groundwater from arak city. for this purpose, contamination sources in the groundwater were rec...

The forecast of fluctuations and prices is the major concern in financial markets. Thus, developing an accurate and robust forecasting decision model is critically favorable to the investors. As gold has shown a special capability to smooth inflation fluctuations, governors use gold as a price controlling lever. Thus, more information about future gold price trends will help to make the firm de...

the present investigation entails a procedure by which the surface tension and viscosity of liquids could be redicted.to this end, capillary experiments were performed for porous media by utilizing fifteen different liquids and powders. the time of capillary rise to a certain known height of each liquid in a particular powder was recorded. two artificial neural networks (anns) were designed and...

this study was conducted to investigate the prediction of growth performance using linear regression and artificial neural network (ann) in broiler chicken. artificial neural networks (anns) are powerful tools for modeling systems in a wide range of applications. the ann model with a back propagation algorithm successfully learned the relationship between the inputs of metabolizable energy (kca...
