Abstract-This paper investigates the ability of feed-forward neural network (FFNN) classifiers trained with examples to generalize and estimate the structure of the feature space in the form of class membership information. A functional theory of FFNN classifiers is developed from formal definitions. The properties of discriminant functions learned by FFNN classifiers from sample data are also ...

t is becoming increasingly difficult to have data security nowadays. There have been used various cryptography methods in literature, but recent developments in computational area have heightened the need of new methods. In this study the feed-forward artificial neural network (FFNN) was used with a different perspective by using the structure of artificial neural network as a key as a solution...

A feed forward neural network (FFNN) has been trained to discriminate between power transformer magnetizing inrush and fault currents. The training algorithm used was back-propagation, assuming initially a sigmoid transfer function for the network’s processing units (“neurons”). Once the network was trained the units’ transfer function was changed to hard limiters with thresholds equal to the b...

This article presents an approach for data association in single camera, multi-object tracking scenarios using feed-forward neural networks (FFNN). The challenges of data association are object occlusions and changing features which are used to describe objects during the process. The presented algorithm within this article can be applied to any kind of object which has to be tracked, e.g. pers...

This paper presents novel technique for recognizing faces. The proposed method uses hybrid feature extraction techniques such as Chi square and entropy are combined together. Feed forward and self-organizing neural network are used for classification. We evaluate proposed method using FACE94 and ORL database and achieved better performance. Keywords-Biometric; Chi square test; Entropy; FFNN; SOM.

Recurrent neural network (RNN) are being extensively used over feed-forward neural networks (FFNN) because of their inherent capability to capture temporal relationships that exist in the sequential data such as speech. This aspect of RNN is advantageous especially when there is no a priori knowledge about the temporal correlations within the data. However, RNNs require large amount of data to ...

In this paper, we investigate the robustness of Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN) ensemble models applied to quarterly time series forecasting tasks, by comparing their prediction ability with that of Seasonal Auto-regressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) models. We obtained adequate SARIMA models which required statistical knowledge and considerable effort. On the other hand, FFNN ensemb...

In India and across the globe, liver disease is a serious area of concern in medicine. Therefore, it becomes essential to use classification algorithms for assessing the disease in order to improve the efficiency of medical diagnosis which eventually leads to appropriate and timely treatment. The study accordingly implemented various classification algorithms including linear discriminant analy...

Automatic license plate recognition system is an image processing technology used to identify vehicles by their license plates. Such systems require the recognition of characters from the plate image. Artificial neural networks are commonly used to perform character recognition due to their high noise tolerance. Feed-Forward Neural Network (FFNN) can be used to recognize the characters from ima...
