Localization with noisy distance measurements is a critical problem in many applications of wireless sensor networks. Different localization algorithms offer different tradeoffs between accuracy and hardware resource requirements. In order to provide insight into selecting the best algorithm that optimizes this tradeoff, this paper evaluates the accuracy, memory, and computational requirements ...

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...

In this research, a novel computational intelligencebased algorithm to detect artifacts, specifically arrows, in medical images is presented. Image analyses techniques are developed to find the symbols and text automatically. Features are computed from the shape of arrow for the discrimination of arrows from other artifacts. We investigate a biologically-inspired reinforcement learning (RL) app...

This paper presents some apprilcations of neural networks in the microwave modeling. The applications are related to modeling of either passive or active structures and devices. Modeling is performed using not only simple multilayer perceptron network (MLP) but also advanced knowledge based neural network (KBNN) structures. Keywords–Neural network, modeling, microwave, microstrip gap, microwave...

When designing artificial neural network (ANN) it is important to optimise the network architecture and the learning coefficients of the training algorithm, as well as the time the network training phase takes, since this is the more timeconsuming phase. In this paper an approach to cooperative co-evolutionary optimisation of multilayer perceptrons (MLP) is presented. The cooperative co-evoluti...

This paper presents an approach which is based on the use of supervised feed forward neural network, namely multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network and finite element method (FEM) to solve the inverse problem of parameters identification. The approach is used to identify unknown parameters of ferromagnetic materials. The methodology used in this study consists in the simulation of a large nu...

This study presents an integrated Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and time series framework to estimate and predict Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR) in Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS/CDMA) systems. It is difficult to model uncertain behavior of SIR with only conventional ANN or time series and the integrated algorithm could be an ideal substitute for such cases. Artificial ...
