The prediction of fatigue life of metal welded joints plays an important role at lower manufacturing costs and reduces accidents for engineering materials, the response of metal welded joints to fatigue properties has highly non-linear, so it is difficult to establish an accurate theoretical model using traditional method to predict its fatigue life. It is appropriate to consider modeling metho...

During the last decade the number of spam messages sent has increased significantly. These undesired emails place a heavy burden on end users and email service providers. As a result, a tenacious struggle to outsmart each other exists between people who send spam and the spam filter providers. Constant innovation is therefore of vital importance to curb the rapid increase of spam. In this artic...

With the advance of modern molecular biology it has become increasingly clear that few cellular processes are unaffected by protein phosphorylation. Therefore, computational identification of phosphorylation sites is very helpful to accelerate the functional understanding of huge available protein sequences obtained from genomic and proteomic studies. Using a genetic algorithm integrated neural...

Logistic regression occupies a central position in the field of credit scoring as it is relatively well understood and an explicit formula can be derived on which credit decisions may be based. Although artificial neural networks may be more powerful than logistic regression, it is not widely used in credit scoring because it is a black box with respect to interpretation and the absence of reas...

Genetic algorithms and neural networks have received great acclaim in the computer science research community since the 1980s. For the most part, this results from successful applications of these new computing models, but also, because the concepts share the spirit of a movement that goes beyond science. The major principle of this movement is the idea that for a broad set of complex problems ...
