It is important to detect flammable or poisonous gas leaked from the cracks in pipes of petroleum refining plants or chemical plants. We applied a novel modular neural network to the acoustic diagnosis technique for the gas leakage. The novel model of the modular neural network is able to adapt...

One of the main factors affecting the effectiveness of Error Correcting Output Coding (ECOC) methods for classification is the dependence among the errors of the computed codeword bits. We present an extensive experimental work for evaluating the dependence among output errors of the...

This paper studies the Simultaneous Recurrent Neural Network (SRN), a trainable recurrent neural network, as a nonlinear dynamic system operating in relaxation mode for combinatorial optimization. Stability and convergence properties of the SRN dynamics in order to facilitate application of a...

Many fed-batch processes can be considered as a class of control affine nonlinear systems. In this paper, a new type of neural network for modelling fed-batch processes, called as Control Affine Feedforward Neural Network (CAFNN), is proposed. For constrained nonlinear optimal control of...

A new model of self-creating and self-organizing neural network, Cell-Splitting Grid (CSG), is presented. In this proposed CSG algorithm, the neurons and their connections are created and organized on a 2-dimensional plane according to the input data distribution. Compared with Self-Organizing...

In a landscape composed of randomly distributed sites in Euclidean space, a walker ("tourist") goes to the nearest one that has not been visited in the last steps. This procedure leads to trajectories composed of a transient part and a final cyclic attractor of period The tourist walk presents a...

Distributed computer systems may be used in various ways to find good solutions to difficult combinatorial optimization problems. An interesting approach consists in executing concurrently different search methods that exchange information gathered in previously explored regions of the solution...

With the advancement of computer graphics in the recent years, an increasing number of pictures, video and 3D content is generated by synthesis processing rather than acquired with capture devices such as cameras or scanners. Several techniques have been developed for compression of discrete...

Das Verhältnis zwischen dem Informationsträger (Substanz oder Energie) und der Information gleicht dem Zusammenhang zwischen den Gegenständen und ihren Eigenschaften: Ein Gegenstand ist nicht dasselbe wie seine Eigenschaften, sondern er besitzt Eigenschaften; die Eigenschaften ihrerseits...
