We devise a feed-forward Artiicial Neural Network (ANN) procedure for predicting utility loads and present the resulting predictions for two test problems given by \The Great Energy Predictor Shootout-The First Building Data Analysis and Prediction Competition" 1]. Key ingredients in our approach are a method (test) for determining relevant inputs and the Multilayer Perceptron. These methods ar...

Existing image layer representations methods are very feed-forward, and then not able to deal with small ambiguities. A probabilistic model is proposed, and it learns and deduces each layer in that hierarchy together. Therefore, we consider a recursive probabilistic decomposition process, and derive a new yielded method based on recursive Latent Dirichlet Allocation. We show 2 significant prope...

Since past few years, researchers have been concentrating on the classification of Electromyography Signal. This method is very useful in diagnosing the neuro-muscular disorders, which consists of wide spread diseases affecting peripheral nervous system. Progressive muscle weakness is the major form of these disorders. Out of various proposed methods, scholars are commonly focusing on Neural Ne...

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic, lifelong metabolism disorder that affects the ability of the body system to use the energy found in food. People living with high blood sugar will experience polyuria (frequent urination), which will make them to become increasingly thirsty (polydipsia) and hungry (polyphagia) .The improper management of this disease can lead to complication such as cardiovascula...

Functional complexity of a software module can be measured in terms of static complexity metrics of the program text. Classifying software modules, based on their static complexity measures, into different fault-prone categories is a difficult problem in software engineering. This research investigates the applicability of neural network classifiers for identifying fault-prone software modules ...

Hairpin bandpass filter are compact structures they may theoretically be obtained by folding the resonator of parallel-coupled half wave length resonator which reduces the coupling between resonators. This type of U shape resonator is so called hair pin resonator. In the present paper a novel technique has been proposed for the estimation of bandwidth for variation of slot length on the bandpas...

there is little consensus on the corporate diversification-efficiency relationship in the diversification literature. according to the corporate diversification, firms have a tendency to get more market share with diversifying in the local segment or in the international market. theoretically, a contradictory exists between the profitable strategy and the value reducing strategy in the diversif...

To revise / revisit basic control schemes covered in the second year control course (Process Control I). Schemes to be discussed are: • Feedback control • Feedforward Control • Cascade Control • Ratio Control For each scheme a typical process example is used to highlight the application of the methodology. On completion of this section of the course you should have an awareness of a common proc...
