The forecast of fluctuations and prices is the major concern in financial markets. Thus, developing an accurate and robust forecasting decision model is critically favorable to the investors. As gold has shown a special capability to smooth inflation fluctuations, governors use gold as a price controlling lever. Thus, more information about future gold price trends will help to make the firm de...

image classification is an issue which utilizes image processing, pattern recognition and classification methods. automatic medical image classification is a progressive area in image classification and it expected to be more developed in the future. due to this fact that automatic diagnosis which use intelligent methods such as medical image classification can assist pathologists by providing ...

this paper presents the application of radial basis neural networks to the development of a novel method for the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of synchronous generators. in the proposed scheme, flux linkage analysis is used to reach a decision. probabilistic neural network (pnn) and discrete wavelet transform (dwt) are used in design of fault diagnosis system. pnn as main part of thi...

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...

this research intends to develop a method based on the artificial neural network (ann) to predict permanent earthquake-induced deformation of the earth dams and embankments. for this purpose, data sets of observations from 152 published case histories on the performance of the earth dams and embankments, during the past earthquakes, was used. in order to predict earthquake-induced deformation o...

it is necessary to use empirical models for estimating of instantaneous peak discharge because of deficit of gauging stations in the country. hence, at present study, two models including artificial neural networks and nonlinear multivariate regression were used to predict peak discharge in taleghan watershed. maximum daily mean discharge and corresponding daily rainfall, one day antecedent and...

neural network is one of the most widely used algorithms in the field of machine learning, on the other hand, neural network training is a complicated and important process. supervised learning needs to be organized to reach the goal as soon as possible. a supervised learning algorithm analyzes the training data and produces an inferred function, which can be used for mapping new examples.  hen...

in the current research the artificial neural network models were used for predicting mass transfer kinetics of osmotically dehydrated kiwifruit. osmotic dehydration operations were performed in sucrose solution with concentrations of 30, 40, 50 and 60% at temperatures of 20, 40 and 60°c for 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. multi-layer neural network with 3 inputs (operating conditions) was develope...
