We examine various and different approaches for the prediction of economic crisis periods of US economy. We examine the traditional econometric discrete choice Logit and Probit models then a feed-forward neural network (FFNN) model and finally we apply an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). We examine the period 1950-2009, where we take as the in-sample or training period 1950-2005, ...

Feedforward neural networks (FFNN) have been utilised for various research in machine learning and they have gained a significantly wide acceptance. However, it was recently noted that the feedforward neural network has been functioning slower than needed. As a result, it has created critical bottlenecks among its applications. Extreme Learning Machines (ELM) were suggested as alternative learn...

CONTEXT is vital in formulating intelligent classifications and responses, especially under uncertainty. In a standard feed-forward neural network (FFNN), context comes in the form of information encoded in the input vector and trained in weight parameters. However, useful information can also be present in the temporal nature of the input vectors, or from past internal states of a network. Fut...

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...

A vector matrix real time backpropagation algorithm for recurrent neural networks that approximate multi-valued periodic functions," Received Unlike feedforward neural networks (FFNN) which can act as universal function ap-proximators, recursive, or recurrent, neural networks can act as universal approximators for multi-valued functions. In this paper, a real time recursive backpropagation (RTR...

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...

We present in this paper, Fourier descriptor and feedforward neural network for face recognition. Analysis is done for various numbers of iterations. Comparison shows that faces are recognized with FFNN more accurately with 50000 iterations. For experiment, FERET database is used.

Rainfall prediction is very complex hydrologic process and is important as it holds the key to any countries’ economy. Proposed model presents a new approach for yearly rainfall prediction of 30 Indian subdivisions. Yearly rainfall data of the Indian subdivision is available from IITM, Pune. The combination of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN) is applied for ne...
