In this paper we apply the Full Combination (FC) multi-band approach, which has originally been introduced in the framework of posterior-based HMM/ANN (Hidden Markov Model/Artificial Neural Network) hybrid systems, to systems in which the ANN (or Multilayer Perceptron (MLP)) is itself replaced by a Multi Gaussian HMM (MGM). Both systems represent the most widely used statistical models for robu...

In this study, autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and artificial neural network (ANN) models were applied to predict the monthly flow time series of two stations, named Begova Chemcermo, for Khabour River. The analysis was performed using several criteria tests. autocorrelation function (ACF) partial (PACF) check accuracy ARIMA model. Akaike (AIC) Bayesian (BIC) equations determin...

The development of parallel batch pattern back propagation training algorithm of multilayer perceptron and its scalability research on general-purpose parallel computer are presented in this paper. The model of multilayer perceptron and batch pattern training algorithm are theoretically described. The algorithmic description of the parallel batch pattern training method is presented. The scalab...

We here compare the performance (predictive accuracy and processing time) of different neural network ensembles with that of nearest neighbor classifier ensembles. Concerning the connectionist models, the multilayer perceptron and the modular neural network are employed. Experiments on several real-problem data sets demonstrate a certain superiority of the nearest-neighborbased schemes, in term...

The application of artificial neural network to compressor performance map prediction is investigated. Different types of artificial neural networks such as general regression neural network, rotated general regression neural network proposed by the authors, radial basis function network, and multilayer perceptron network are considered. Two different models are utilized in simulating the perfo...

This paper presents a comparative study of automatic classification of different types of heart beat arrhythmias. The heart beats are classified into normal, premature ventricular contraction, atrial premature, right bundle branch block and left bundle branch block classes. Different classifiers are used in this work, namely support vector machine, multilayer perceptron neural networks, and Tre...

In this paper we present a novel classifier which integrates a multilayer perceptron and a error-correcting decoder. There are two stages in the classifier, in the first stage, mapping feature vectors from feature space to code space is achieved by a multilayer perceptron; in the second stage, error correcting decoding is done on code space, by which the index of the noisy codeword can be obtai...
