There are a lot of extensions made to the classic model of multi-layer perceptron (MLP). A notable amount of them has been designed to hasten the learning process without considering the quality of generalization. The paper proposes a new MLP extension based on exploiting topology of the input layer of the network. Experimental results show the extended model to improve upon generalization capa...

A novel speech separation structure which simulates the cocktail party e ect using a modi ed iterative Wiener lter and a multi-layer perceptron neural network is presented. The neural network is used as a speaker recognition system to control the iterative Wiener lter. The neural network is a modi ed perceptron with a hidden layer using feature data extracted from LPC cepstral analysis. The pro...

A nonlinearity is required before matched filtering in mInimum error receivers when additive noise is present which is impulsive and highly non-Gaussian. Experiments were performed to determine whether the correct clipping nonlinearity could be provided by a single-input singleoutput multi-layer perceptron trained with back propagation. It was found that a multi-layer perceptron with one input ...

In this paper, an automatic system is presented for word recognition using real Turkish word signals. This paper especially deals with combination of the feature extraction and classification from real Turkish word signals. A Discrete Wavelet Neural Network (DWNN) model is used, which consists of two layers: discrete wavelet layer and multi-layer perceptron. The discrete wavelet layer is used f...

this paper presents the prediction of vehicle's velocity time series using neural networks. for this purpose, driving data is firstly collected in real world traffic conditions in the city of tehran using advance vehicle location devices installed on private cars. a multi-layer perceptron network is then designed for driving time series forecasting. in addition, the results of this study a...

Bankruptcy prediction is an important classification problem for a business, and has become a major concern of managers. In this paper, two well-known backpropagation neural network models serving as data mining tools for classification problems are employed to perform bankruptcy forecasting: one is the backpropagation multi-layer perceptron, and the other is the radial basis function network. ...
