-Fuzzy ARTMAP is one of the recently proposed neural network paradigm where the fuzzy logic is incorporated. In this paper, we compare the Fuzzy ARTMAP neural network and the well-known back-propagation based Multi-layer perceptron (MLP), in the context of hand-written character recognition problem. The results presented in this paper shows that the Fuzzy ARTMAP out-performs its counterpart, bo...

A globally convergent homotopy method is defined that is capable of sequentially producing large numbers of stationary points of the multi-layer perceptron mean-squared error surface. Using this algorithm large subsets of the stationary points of two test problems are found. It is shown empirically that the MLP neural network appears to have an extreme ratio of saddle points compared to local m...

A nonlinear version of independent component analysis is presented. The mapping from sources to observations is modelled by a multi-layer perceptron network and the distributions of sources are modelled by mixtures of Gaussians. The posterior probability of all the unknown parameters is estimated by ensemble learning. In this paper, we present the theory of the method, and in a companion paper ...

Since artificial neural networks (ANNs) can approximate any function, they have been applied in many fields including hydrology. In hydrology, there are important issues such as flood estimation and predicting rainfall-runoff in a certain area. In this presentation, we briefly introduce a popular feed-forward neural network model, so called “multi-layer perceptron (MLP)”, and review its applica...

We propose the concept of using superconducting quantum interferometers for the implementation of neural network algorithms with extremely low power dissipation. These adiabatic elements are Josephson cells with sigmoid- and Gaussian-like activation functions. We optimize their parameters for application in three-layer perceptron and radial basis function networks.

introduction: with using multiple linear regression (mlr), can simultaneously analyses several different variables, but to get the desirable results from the mlr, the samples must be much and accurate. therefore, this method has high sensitivity and may cause errors in results. in addition, to use this method, the variable must have normal distribution and modification follow from a linear rela...

This work presents results of the use of a wavelet filter for noise reduction and data compression of signals generated by artificial nose sensors. To verify the performance of the wavelet analysis in the treatment of odor patterns, we compare two widely used artificial nose classifiers, multi-layer perceptron neural network and time delay neural network in the analysis of signals generated by ...

In now a days Password authentication plays a vital role typing biometrics as a transparent layer of user authentication for security. Keystroke authentication provides security to the applications like electronic mail, banking and any other web services etc., There are several types of techniques to protect our passwords but it can be easily hacked by the hackers through so many algorithms. By...

In this paper a statistical point of view of feedforwared neural networks is presented. The hidden layer of a multilayer perceptrokneural network is identified of representing the mapping of random vectors. Utilizing hard limiter activation functions, the second and all further layers of the multilayer perceptron, including the output layer; represent the mapping of a boolean function. Boolean ...

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) measure brain signals activity, intentionally and unintentionally induced by users, and provides a communication channel without depending on the brain’s normal peripheral nerves and muscles output pathway. Feature Selection (FS) is a global optimization machine learning problem that reduces features, removes irrelevant and noisy data resulting in acceptable rec...
