06 Apr 2001TL;DR: In this article, a computer-implemented method and system for building a neural network is disclosed, where the neural network predicts at least one target based upon predictor variables defined in a state space.
Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for building a neural network is disclosed. The neural network predicts at least one target based upon predictor variables defined in a state space. First, an input data set is retrieved that includes the predictor variables and at least one target associated with the predictor variables for each observation. In the state space, a number of points is inserted in the state space based upon the values of the predictor variables. The number of points is less than the number of observations. A statistical measure is determined that describes a relationship between the observations and the inserted points. Weights and activation functions of the neural network are determined using the statistical measure.

TL;DR: A hybrid, error correction-based, neural network to predict the path loss for suburban areas at 800 MHz and 2600 MHz is presented, obtained by combining empirical propagation models, ECC-33, Ericsson 9999, Okumura Hata, and 3GPP's TR 36.942, with a backpropagation Artificial Neural Network (ANN).
Abstract: This article presents the development and analysis of a hybrid, error correction-based, neural network to predict the path loss for suburban areas at 800 MHz and 2600 MHz, obtained by combining empirical propagation models, ECC-33, Ericsson 9999, Okumura Hata, and 3GPP's TR 36.942, with a backpropagation Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The network performance was tested along with two optimization techniques - Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Least Mean Square (LMS). Results were compared with data obtained by measurements performed in the vicinity of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), in the city of Natal, Brazil. In the end, the hybrid neural network presented the best results, indicating greater similarity with experimental data. The results developed in this research will help to achieve better signal estimation, reducing errors in planning and implementation of LTE and LTE-A systems.

TL;DR: In this article, various schemes for controlling the glucose feed rate of fed-batch baker's yeast fermentation were evaluated, including fixed-gain proportionalintegral (PI), scheduled-gain PI, adaptive neural network and hybrid neural network PI.
Abstract: The crucial problem associated with control of fed-batch fermentation process is its time-varying characteristics. A successful controller should be able to deal with this feature in addition to the inherent nonlinear characteristics of the process. In this work, various schemes for controlling the glucose feed rate of fed-batch baker's yeast fermentation were evaluated. The controllers evaluated are fixed-gain proportional-integral (PI), scheduled-gain PI, adaptive neural network and hybrid neural network PI. The difference between the specific carbon dioxide evolution rate and oxygen uptake rate (Qc–Qo) was used as the controller variable. The evaluation was carried out by observing the performance of the controllers in dealing with setpoint tracking and disturbance rejection. The results confirm the unsatisfactory performance of the conventional controller where significant oscillation and offsets exist. Among the controllers considered, the hybrid neural network PI controller shows good performance.

TL;DR: A hybrid neural network is applied which preprocesses financial input data for improving the estimation of option market prices and provides better performance in terms of pricing accuracy than either the BS model with historical volatility (HV), or the BS models with volatility valued by the neural network.
Abstract: The Black–Scholes (BS) model is the standard approach used for pricing financial options. However, although being theoretically strong, option prices valued by the model often differ from the prices observed in the financial markets. This paper applies a hybrid neural network which preprocesses financial input data for improving the estimation of option market prices. This model is comprised of two parts. The first part is a neural network developed to estimate volatility. The second part is an additional neural network developed to value the difference between the BS model results and the actual market option prices. The resulting option price is then a summation between the BS model and the network response. The hybrid system with a neural network for estimating volatility provides better performance in terms of pricing accuracy than either the BS model with historical volatility (HV), or the BS model with volatility valued by the neural network.

TL;DR: In this article, a new hybrid neural network is developed to model engagement behaviors of automotive transmission wet friction component, which is used to estimate viscous torque and asperity contact torque as preprocessors to a two-layer neural network.
Abstract: In this research, a new hybrid neural network is developed to model engagement behaviors of automotive transmission wet friction component. Utilizing known first principles on the physics of engagement, special modules are created to estimate viscous torque and asperity contact torque as preprocessors to a two-layer neural network. Inside these modules, all the physical parameters are represented by neurons with various activation functions derived from first principles. These new features contribute to the improved performance and trainability over a conventional two-layer network model. Both the hybrid and conventional neural net models are trained and tested with experimental data collected from an SAE#2 test stand. The results show that the performance of the hybrid model is much superior to that of the conventional model. It successfully captures detailed characteristics of the friction component engagement torque as a function of time over a wide operating range.
