In this paper, we propose a genetic algorithm based design procedure for a radial-basis function neural network. A Hierarchical Rank Density Genetic Algorithm (HRDGA) is used to evolve both the neural network’s topology and parameters. In addition, the rank-density based fitness assignment technique is used to optimize the performance and topology of the evolved neural network to deal with the ...

Aquatic ecosystems are facing a growing number of human induced changes and threats. Macroinvertebrate biomonitoring is particularly efficient in pinpointing the cause-effect structure between slow and subtle changes and their detrimental consequences in aquatic ecosystems. The greatest obstacle to implementing efficient biomonitoring is currently the cost-intensity of human expert taxonomic id...

In this study, a reliability-based RBF neural network ensemble forecasting model is proposed to overcome the shortcomings of the existing neural ensemble methods and ameliorate forecasting performance. In this model, the ensemble weights are determined by the reliability measure of RBF network output. For testing purposes, we compare the new ensemble model’s performance with some existing netwo...

In order to improve the precision of gyroscope, two decoupling method of DTG(Dynamic Tuned Gyroscope) were analyzed, the BP neural network and RBF network. The BP neural network has many advantages Compared to the traditional decoupling method, but still some drawbacks such as the over training, the congress process is very slow, and the hidden layer is also hard to determined. The paper introd...

A novel classi®er for the analysis of remote-sensing images is proposed. Such a classi®er is based on Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks and relies on an incremental-learning technique. This technique allows the periodical acquisition of new information whenever a new training set becomes available, while preserving the knowledge learnt by the network on previous training sets. In addi...

Recently, a new learning algorithm for the feedforward neural network named the extreme learning machine (ELM) which can give better performance than traditional tuning-based learning methods for feedforward neural networks in terms of generalization and learning speed has been proposed by Huang et al. In this paper, we first extend the ELM algorithm from the real domain to the complex domain, ...
