Novel direct adaptive robust state and output feedback controllers are presented for the output tracking control of a class of nonlinear systems with unknown system dynamics and disturbances. Both controllers employ a variable-structure radial basis function (RBF) network that can determine its structure dynamically to approximate unknown system dynamics. Radial basis functions are added or rem...

Speaker identification is the computing task to identify an unknown identity based on the voice. A good speaker identification system must have a high accuracy rate to avoid invalid identity. Despite of last few decades’ efforts, accuracy rate in speaker identification is still low. In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach of unsupervised and supervised learning i.e. subtractive clustering a...

In this paper, we present a direct solution method based on wavelet networks for image compression. Wavelet networks are a combination of radial basis function (RBF) networks and wavelet decomposition, where radial basis functions were replaced by wavelets. The results show that the wavelet networks approach succeeded to improve high performances in terms of compression ratio and reconstruction...

The identification of nonlinear systems by artificial neural networks has been successfully applied in many applications. In this context, the radial basis function neural network (RBF-NN) is a powerful approach for nonlinear identification. A RBF neural network has an input layer, a hidden layer and an output layer. The neurons in the hidden layer contain Gaussian transfer functions whose outp...

This paper proposes an artificial neural network RBF to classification using feature descriptors. The theoretical and practical aspects of theory F distributions with different degrees of freedom introduced. The distribution F densities are similar in shape, making it difficult to identify the differences between the two densities. This paper is concerned with separating these same probability ...

Radial basis function-generated finite difference (RBF-FD) approximations generalize classical grid-based finite differences (FD) from lattice-based to scattered node layouts. This greatly increases the geometric flexibility of the discretizations and makes it easier to carry out local refinement in critical areas. Many different types of radial functions have been considered in this RBF-FD con...

An orthogonal forward selection (OFS) algorithm based on the leaveone-out (LOO) criterion is proposed for the construction of radial basis function (RBF) networks with tunable nodes. This OFS-LOO algorithm is computationally efficient and is capable of identifying parsimonious RBF networks that generalise well. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is fully automatic and the user does not need to sp...

Spatial prediction needs to account for spatial information, which makes conventional radial basis function (RBF) networks inappropriate, for they assume independent and identical distribution. In this paper, we fuse spatial information at different layers of RBF. Experiments show fusion at hidden layer gives the best result and suggest that the optimal value is around one for the coefficient, ...

In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach for mammographic images interpretation in order to detect the benign and malignant anomalies. Using a neural evolutionary approach based on the Radial Basis Function neural network (RBF) and the evolutionary strategy (ES). After applying the growing region algorithm in segmentation stage, the RBF neural network detects the suspect regions. The inferen...
