We propose a new self-adaptive Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm for the system of nonlinear equations F(x) = 0. The Levenberg-Marquardt parameter is chosen as the product of ‖Fk‖ with δ being a positive constant, and some function of the ratio between the actual reduction and predicted reduction of the merit function. Under the local error bound condition which is weaker than the nonsingularity, w...

Retrieving information from remotely sensed data is an important task. In the present work, data of L band microwave radiometer has been used to collect the brightness temperature over bare and vegetated fields in two polarizations at different moisture levels. Artificial neural network (ANN) trained with Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm has been used to determine soil moisture from brightness tem...

In our previous work we proposed some extensions of the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm; the Bacterial Memetic Algorithm and the Bacterial Memetic Algorithm with Modified Operator Execution Order for fuzzy rule base extraction from inputoutput data. Furthermore, we have investigated fuzzy flip-flop based feedforward neural networks. In this paper we introduce the adaptation of the Bacterial Memet...

For managing data in a smart card’s limited memory, containing medical and biometric images, images compression is resorted to. For image retrieval, it is necessary that the classification algorithm be efficient to search and locate the image in a compressed domain. This study proposes a novel training algorithm for Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Network (MLP-NN) to classify compressed images. M...

In this work, we describe a method for the classification of respiratory states based on four significant features using Artificial neural network (ANN). These features are extracted from the respiratory signals using modified threshold algorithm were fed as input parameters to the ANN for classification. A gradient based search algorithms are usually being used in ANN to find a set of suitable...
