in the present study iran’s rice imports trend is forecasted, using artificial neural networks and econometric methods, during 2009 to 2013, and their results are compared. the results showed that feet forward neural network leading with less forecast error and had better performance in comparison to econometric techniques and also, other methods of neural networks, such as recurrent networks a...

Despite their success, convolutional neural networks are computationally expensive because they must examine all image locations. Stochastic attention-based models have been shown to improve computational efficiency at test time, but they remain difficult to train because of intractable posterior inference and high variance in the stochastic gradient estimates. Borrowing techniques from the lit...

Recurrent fuzzy neural networks (FNNs) have been widely applied to dynamic system processing problems. However, most recurrent FNNs focus on the use of type-1 fuzzy sets. This paper proposes a Mamdani-type recurrent interval type-2 FNN (M-RIT2FNN) that uses interval type-2 fuzzy sets in both rule antecedent and consequent parts. The reason for using interval type-2 fuzzy sets is to increase net...

Modelling and forecasting Stock market is a challenging task for economists and engineers since it has a dynamic structure and nonlinear characteristic. This nonlinearity affects the efficiency of the price characteristics. Using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a proper way to model this nonlinearity and it has been used successfully in one-step-ahead and multi-step-ahead prediction of di...

In this paper, a novel hybrid method based on learning algorithmof fuzzy neural network and Newton-Cotesmethods with positive coefficient for the solution of linear Fredholm integro-differential equation of the second kindwith fuzzy initial value is presented. Here neural network isconsidered as a part of large field called neural computing orsoft computing. We propose alearning algorithm from ...

The Kalman filter was named after Rudolph E. Kalman published in 1960 his famous paper (Kalman, 1960) describing a recursive solution to the discrete-data linear filtering problem. There are several tutorial papers and books dealing with the subject for a great variety of applications in many areas from engineering to finance (Grewal & Andrews, 2001; Sorenson, 1970; Haykin, 2001; Bar-Shalom & L...

Artificial neural networks have the advantages such as learning, adaptation, fault-tolerance, parallelism and generalization. This paper mainly intends to offer a novel method for finding a solution of a fuzzy equation that supposedly has a real solution. For this scope, we applied an architecture of fuzzy neural networks such that the corresponding connection weights are real numbers. The ...

A modification of the neo-fuzzy neuron is proposed (an extended neo-fuzzy neuron (ENFN)) that is characterized by improved approximating properties. An adaptive learning algorithm is proposed that has both tracking and smoothing properties and solves prediction, filtering and smoothing tasks of non-stationary “noisy” stochastic and chaotic signals. An ENFN distinctive feature is its computation...
