The paper presents an artificial neural network based approach in support of cash demand forecasting for automatic teller machine (ATM). On the start phase a three layer feed-forward neural network was trained using Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm and historical data sets. Then ANN was retuned every week using the last observations from ATM. The generalization properties of the ANN were improved ...

in this study the wavelet neural network (wnn) and artificial neural network (ann) were used to simulate barley breakage percentage in combine harvester. the models have been trained using the same data conditions. air temperature, thresher cylinder speed, distance between thresher cylinder and concave (back and forth) and the percentage of barely moisture were as the input variables. the resul...

background: the purpose of this investigation was to compare empirically predictive ability of an artificial neu­ral network with a logistic regression in prediction of low back pain. methods: data from the second national health survey were considered in this investigation. this data in­cludes the information of low back pain and its associated risk factors among iranian people aged 15 years a...

In this paper, we propose the block-diagonal matrix to approximate the Hessian matrix in the Levenberg Mar-quardt method in the training of neural networks. Two weight updating strategies, namely asynchronous and synchronous updating methods were investigated. Asyn-chronous method updates weights of one block at a time while synchronous method updates all weights at the same time. Variations of...

bedload transport is an essential component of river dynamics and estimation of its rate is important to many aspects of river management. in this study, measured bedload by helley- smith sampler was used to estimate the bedload transport of kurau river in malaysia. an artificial neural network, genetic programming and a combination of genetic programming and a neural network were used to estim...

Abstract— An educational platform is presented here for the beginner students in the Simulation and Artificial Intelligence sciences. It provides with a start point of building and simulation of the manipulators, especially of 2R planar Robot. It also displays a method to replace the inverse kinematic model (IKM) of the Robot with a simpler one, by using a Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Network ...

This study was conducted to rate the land characteristics of corn in hot areas based on artificial neural networks and regression models. For this purpose, 63 corn fields were selected in southern Iran. In each farm, a pedon was excavated, described and sampled. A questionnaire was completed for each farm. A stepwise regression model was used to study the relationship between land characteristi...
