In this paper, we propose a way to apply Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) to Functional Data Analysis. We introduce a computation model for functional input data and we show that this model is a well behaving extension of MLP: we show that the proposed model has the universal approximation property. Moreover, parameter estimation for this model is consistent. As a conclusion, we demonstrate functio...

In this paper we present an adaptive appoach to observe the joint velocity for rigid robot manipulators. This approach is based on the neural network and sliding mode technique. The adopted neural network is of the MLP (Multi Layer Perceptron) type with one hidden layer. The functions of the dynamic model of the robot manipulator are assumed unknown. The neural network parameters are adapted on...

In this paper, we present our recent progress on multi-layer perceptron (MLP) based data-driven feature extraction using improved MLP structures. Four-layer MLPs are used in this study. Different signal processing methods are applied before the input layer of the MLP. We show that the first hidden layer of a four-layer MLP is able to detect some basic patterns from the time-frequency plane. KLT...

In this paper, we propose a system for recognition handwritten characters Tifinagh, with the use of neural networks (the multi layer perceptron MLP), the hidden Markov model (HMM), the hybrid Model MLP/HMM and a feature extraction method based on mathematical morphology, this method is tested on the database of handwritten isolated characters Tifinagh size consistent (1800 images in learning an...

Weather prediction is an ever challenging area of investigation for scientists. The Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) has been widely used for modeling different kinds of nonlinear systems including rainfall forecasting. Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) combines the capabilities of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Fuzzy Inference Systems (FIS) to solve different ki...

Movable power sources of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are the important research done in the current fuel cells (FC) field. The PEMFC system control influences the cell performance greatly and it is a control system for industrial complex problems, due to the imprecision, uncertainty and partial truth and intrinsic nonlinear characteristics of PEMFCs. In this paper an adaptive PI...

Multi layer perceptron with back propagation algorithm is popular and more used than other neural network types in various fields of investigation as a non-linear predictor. Though MLP can solve complex and non-linear problems, it cannot use missing data for training directly. We propose a training algorithm with incomplete pattern data using conventional MLP network. Focusing on the fact that ...

Snoring detection is important for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and other respiratory sleep disorders. In general, audio signal processing such as snoring sound analysis uses the frequency characteristics of the signal. Recently, a correlational filter Multilayer Perceptron neural network (f-MLP) has been proposed, which has the first hidden layer of correlational filter o...

In this paper we propose adaptive brain-inspired emotional decayed learning to predict Kp, AE and Dst indices that characterize the chaotic activity of the earth's magnetosphere by their extreme lows and highs. In mammalian brain, the limbic system processes emotional stimulus and consists of two main components: Amygdala and Orbitofrontal Cortex (OFC). Here, we propose a learning algorithm for...

The nearest-neighbor multilayer perceptron (NN-MLP) is a single-hidden-layer network suitable for pattern recognition. To design an NN-MLP efficiently, this paper proposes a new evolutionary algorithm consisting of four basic operations: recognition, remembrance, reduction, and review. Experimental results show that this algorithm can produce the smallest or nearly smallest networks from random...
