This paper presents the use of ANN as a pattern classifier for differential protection of power transformer, which makes the discrimination among normal, magnetizing inrush, over-excitation, external fault and internal fault currents. The Back Propagation Neural Network Algorithm and Genetic Algorithm are used to train the multi-layered feed forward neural network and simulated results are comp...

Currently, the back-propagation is the most widely applied neural network algorithm at present. However, its slow learning speed and local minima problem are often cited as the major weakness of the algorithm. In this paper, described are an adaptive training algorithm based on selective retraining of patterns through error analysis, and dynamic adaptation of learning rate and momentum through ...

in this paper, we present an application of evolved neural networks using a real coded genetic algorithm for simulations of monthly groundwater levels in a coastal aquifer located in the shabestar plain, iran. after initializing the model with groundwater elevations observed at a given time, the developed hybrid genetic algorithm-back propagation (ga-bp) should be able to reproduce groundwater ...

background and objectives: rheological characteristics of dough are important for achieving useful information about raw-material quality, dough behavior during mechanical handling, and textural characteristics of products. our purpose in the present research is to apply soft computation tools for predicting the rheological properties of dough out of simple measurable factors. materials and met...

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 ...

Embryogenesis, regeneration and cell differentiation in microbiological entities are influenced by mechanical forces. Therefore, development of mechanical properties of these materials is important. Neural network technique is a useful method which can be used to obtain cell deformation by the means of force-geometric deformation data or vice versa. Prior to insertion in the needle injection pr...

This paper, presents a theoretical and practical basis of preprocessing on handwritten text for character recognition using forward-feed neural networks. Afterwards, the Feed forward algorithm gives working of a neural network followed by the Back Propagation Algorithm which compromises Training, Calculating Error, and Modifying Weights. The proposed solutions focus on applying Back Propagation...

In this paper, we adapt the classical learning algorithm for feed-forward neural networks when monotonicity is require in the input-output mapping. Such requirements arise, for instance, when prior knowledge of the process being observed is available. Monotonicity can be imposed by the addition of suitable penalization terms to the error function. The objective function, however, depends nonlin...

a neural network with feed forward topology and back propagation algorithm was used to investigate the effect of composition on mechanical properties in api x65 microalloyed steel (used in manufacturing of large diameter pipes). experimental data was obtained by cutting 100 specimens from pipes manufactured in industrial scale (with similar heats and manufacturing processes). the chemical analy...
