This paper presents DMP3 (Dynamic Multilayer Perceptron 3), a multilayer perceptron (MLP) constructive training method that constructs MLPs by incrementally adding network elements of varying complexity to the network. DMP3 differs from other MLP construction techniques in several important ways, and the motivation for these differences are given. Information gain rather than error minimization...

A methodology based on adaptive ANN models is proposed for flood routing in river systems. The proposed methodology is capable of modeling both converging and diverging river networks. A Multilayer Perceptron Network (MLP), a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), a Time Delay Neural Network (TDNN) and a Time Delay Recurrent Neural Network (TDRNN) are applied in this study. An Adaptive training proced...

Data mining is the upcoming research area to solve various problems and classification is one of main problem in the field of data mining. In this paper, we use two classification algorithms J48 (which is java implementation of C4. 5 algorithm) and multilayer perceptron alias MLP (which is a modification of the standard linear perceptron) of the Weka interface. It can be used for testing severa...

This paper proposes two hybrid connectionist structural acoustical models for robust context independent phone like and word like units for speaker-independent recognition system. Such structure combines strength of Hidden Markov Models (HMM) in modeling stochastic sequences and the non-linear classification capability of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Two kinds of Neural Networks (NN) are i...

This paper focuses on an automated ANN classification system consisting of two modules: an unsupervised Kohonen’s Self-Organizing Mapping (SOM) neural network module, and a supervised Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural network module using the Backpropagation (BP) training algorithm. Two training algorithms were provided for the SOM network module: the standard SOM, and a refined SOM learning a...

Snoring detection is important for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and other respiratory sleep disorders. In general, audio signal processing such as snoring sound analysis uses the frequency characteristics of the signal. Recently, a correlational filter Multilayer Perceptron neural network (f-MLP) has been proposed, which has the first hidden layer of correlational filter o...
