This paper proposes an Art Modified Single Linkage Clustering approach (ART-MOD-SLC) to solve cell formation problems in Cellular Manufacturing. In this study, an ART1 network is integrated with Modified Single Linkage Clustering (MOD-SLC) to solve cell formation problems. The Percentage of Exceptional Elements (PE), Machine Utilization (MU), Grouping Efficiency (GE) and Grouping Efficacy (GC) ...

Substrate-transport-elicited endocytosis is a common control mechanism of membrane transporters avoiding excess uptake of external compounds, though poorly understood at the molecular level. In yeast, endocytosis of transporters is triggered by their ubiquitylation mediated by the Rsp5 ubiquitin-ligase, recruited by α-arrestin-family adaptors. We here report that transport-elicited ubiquitylati...

Yield enhancement in semiconductor fabrication is important. Even though IC yield loss may be attributed to many problems, the existence of defects on the wafer is one of the main causes. When the defects on the wafer form spatial patterns, it is usually a clue for the identification of equipment problems or process variations. This research intends to develop an intelligent system, which will ...

In semiconductor manufacturing, the spatial pattern of failed devices in a wafer can give precious hints on which step of the process is responsible for the failures. In particular, the use of unsupervised learning is a promising strategy towards the development of fully automated classification tools. In the literature, Kohonen’s Self Organizing Feature Maps (SOFM) and Adaptive Resonance Theor...

Abstract : In this paper, a complete preprocessing methodology for discovering patterns in web usage mining process to improve the quality of data by reducing the quantity of data has been proposed. A dynamic ART1 neural network clustering algorithm to group users according to their Web access patterns with its neat architecture is also proposed. Several experiments are conducted and the result...

Introduction: The adaptive rcsonance theory neural network (ART) as suggested by Grossberg [l] is a useful tool for pattern recognition. The original ART architecture (ART1 j, however, is capable of processing binary inputs only. The fuzzy ART [2] overcomes some of the limitations of ART1. While it has a similar architecture to that of ARTI, it can process continuous valued data, and has a fast...
