Several neural network architectures have been developed over the past several years. One of the most popular and most powerful architectures is the multilayer perceptron. This architecture will be described in detail and recent advances in training of the multilayer perceptron will be presented. Multilayer perceptrons are trained using various techniques. For years the most used training metho...

Kalveram, KTh., Power series and neurat-net computing, Neurocomputing 5 (1993) 165-174. A power series expansion is represented by a threeJayer feedforward network, the number of nodes in the hidden layer conesponding to the number of terms retained in the series, and the synaptic weights in the hidden layer representing the exponents used. The activation functions addrcssed to input, hidden an...

The well-known backpropagation (BP) derivative computation process for multilayer perceptrons (MLP) learning can be viewed as a simplified version of the Kelley-Bryson gradient formula in the classical discrete-time optimal control theory [1]. We detail the derivation in the spirit of dynamic programming, showing how they can serve to implement more elaborate learning whereby teacher signals ca...

In this paper, a novel learning algorithm termed Hybrid Online Sequential Extreme Learning Machine (HOSELM) is proposed. The proposed HOS-ELM algorithm is a fusion of the Online Sequential Extreme Learning Machine (OS-ELM) and the Minimal Resource Allocation Network (MRAN). It is capable of reducing the number of hidden nodes in Single-hidden Layer Feed-forward Neural Networks (SLFNs) with Radi...

Peter G. Anderson Roger S. Gaborski Ming Ge Sanjay Raghavendra Mei-Ling Lung Abstract We present a novel training algorithm for a feed forward neural network with a single hidden layer of nodes (i.e., two layers of connection weights). Our algorithm is capable of training networks for hard problems, such as the classic two-spirals problem. The weights in the rst layer are determined using a qua...

Mobile Ad Hoc network is a self-organizing infrastructure less network where the nodes are responsible for routing the packets. MANET has dynamic topology which allows nodes to join and leave the network at any time. This paper proposes a channel adaptive routing protocol which extends AOMDV routing protocol to accommodate channel fading. The proposed Channel Aware AOMDV protocol uses channel a...

This paper presents a thorough experimental analysis to investigate the behavior of neural network classifier for classification of multispectral satellite images. For this series of experiments have been performed to study the effect of various neural network parameters upon classification accuracy. It is per pixel supervised classification using spectral bands (original feature space). The pa...

Artificial neural networks have been showed their effectiveness in many real world problems such as signal processing, pattern recognition, and classification problems. Although they provide highly generalized solutions, we find several unanswered problems in using artificial neural networks. Determining the most appropriate architecture of artificial neural network is identified as one of thos...
