Over the last years, Enterprise Social Networks (ESN) have gained increasing attention both in academia and practice, resulting in a large number of publications dealing with ESN. Among them is a large number of case studies describing the benefits of ESN in each individual case. Based on the different research objects they focus, various benefits are described. However, an overview of the bene...

A method is provided for designing and training noise-driven recurrent neural networks as models of stochastic processes. The method unifies and generalizes two known separate modeling approaches, Echo State Networks (ESN) and Linear Inverse Modeling (LIM), under the common principle of relative entropy minimization. The power of the new method is demonstrated on a stochastic approximation of t...

the method of artificial neural network is used as a suitable tool for intelligent interpretation of gravity data in this paper. we have designed a hopfield neural network to estimate the gravity source depth. the designed network was tested by both synthetic and real data. as real data, this artificial neural network was used to estimate the depth of a qanat (an underground channel) located at...

the aim followed in this study was to compare the performance of multiple regression vs neural network models to predict the activity of antioxidant enzymes super oxide dismutase (sod), cat alase (cat), ascorbate pero xidase (apx) and peroxidase (pox) in the shoots of wheat (triticum aestivum), alvand cultivar in a soil polluted with cadmium. the treatments consisted of four levels of cadmium (...

estimation (forecasting) of industrial production costs is one of the most important factor affecting decisions in the highly competitive markets. thus, accuracy of the estimation is highly desirable. hibrid regression neural network is an approach proposed in this paper to obtain better fitness in comparison with regression analysis and the neural network methods. comparing the estimated resul...

The Web of Things (WoT) plays an important role in the representation of the objects connected to the Internet of Things in a more transparent and effective way. Thus, it enables seamless and ubiquitous web communication between users and the smart things. Considering the importance of WoT, we propose a WoT-based emerging sensor network (WoT-ESN), which collects data from sensors, routes sensor...

Echo State Networks are efficient time-series predictors, which highly depend on the value of the spectral radius of the reservoir connectivity matrix. Based on recent results on the mean field theory of driven random recurrent neural networks, enabling the computation of the largest Lyapunov exponent of an ESN, we develop a cheap algorithm to establish a local and operational version of the Ec...

PURPOSE Elder self-neglect (ESN) represents half or more of all cases reported to adult protective services. ESN directly affects older adults and also their families, neighbors, and the larger communities around them. ESN has public health implications and is associated with higher than expected mortality rates, hospitalizations, long-term care placements, and localized environmental and safet...
