Quantitative structural property relations (QSPRs) for boiling points of aliphatic hydrocarbons were derived using a back-propagation neural network and a modified Fuzzy ARTMAP architecture. With the back-propagation model, the selected molecular descriptors were capable of distinguishing between diastereomers. The QSPRs were obtained from four valance molecular connectivity indices (1chiv,2chi...

Abstract: In this paper, a method for determination of refractive index in membrane of fuel cell on basis of three-longitudinal-mode laser heterodyne interferometer is presented. The optical path difference between the target and reference paths is fixed and phase shift is then calculated in terms of refractive index shift. The measurement accuracy of this system is limited by nonlinearity erro...

Multilayered feed-forward neural networks trained with back-propagation algorithm are one of the most popular “online” artificial neural networks. These networks are showing strong inherit parallelism because of the influence of high number of simple computational elements. So it is natural to try to implement this kind of parallelism on parallel computer architecture. The Parallel Hybrid Ring ...

Focused on the issue that conventional remote sensing image classification methods have run into the bottlenecks in accuracy, a new remote sensing image classification method inspired by deep learning is proposed, which is based on Stacked Denoising Autoencoder. First, the deep network model is built through the stacked layers of Denoising Autoencoder. Then, with noised input, the unsupervised ...

In this letter, the back-propagation algorithm with the momentum term is analyzed. It is shown that all local minima of the sum of least squares error are stable. Other equilibrium points are unstable.

A multi-channel piezoelectric quartz crystal sensor with a homemade computer interface was prepared and employed in the present study to detect mixture of organic molecules. Back propagation neural network (BPN) was used to distinguish the species in the mixture organic molecules and multivariate linear regression analysis (MLR) was used to compute the concentration of the species. A six-channe...

The conjugate gradient optimization algorithm is combined with the modified back propagation algorithm to yield a computationally efficient algorithm for training multilayer perceptron (MLP) networks (CGFR/AG). The computational efficiency is enhanced by adaptively modifying initial search direction as described in the following steps: (1) Modification on standard back propagation algorithm by ...

The back-propagation algorithm is widely used for learning in artificial neural networks. A challenge in machine learning is to create models that generalize to new data samples not seen in the training data. Recently, a common flaw in several machine learning algorithms was discovered: small perturbations added to the input data lead to consistent misclassification of data samples. Samples tha...

We introduce Equilibrium Propagation, a learning framework for energy-based models. It involves only one kind of neural computation, performed in both the first phase (when the prediction is made) and the second phase of training (after the target or prediction error is revealed). Although this algorithm computes the gradient of an objective function just like Backpropagation, it does not need ...

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...
