Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization With Genetic Algorithm to Train Artificial Neural Networks for Short-Term Load Forecasting
2019
This research proposes a new training algorithm for artificial neural networks (ANNs) to improve the short-term load forecasting (STLF) performance. The proposed algorithm overcomes the so-called training issue in ANNs, where it traps in local minima, by applying genetic algorithm operations in particle swarm optimization when it converges to local minima. The training ability of the hybridized training algorithm is evaluated using load data gathered by Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand. The ANN is trained using the new training algorithm with one-year data to forecast equal 48 periods of each day in 2013. During the testing phase, a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is used …
Application of Neural Networks in Animal Science
2010
Stock breeding has been one of the most important sources of food and labour throughout human history. Every advance in this field has always led to important and beneficial impacts on human society. These innovations have mainly taken place in machines or genetics, but data analysis has been somewhat ignored. Most of the published works in data analysis use linear models, and there are few works in the literature that use non-linear methods for data processing in stock breeding where these methods have proven to obtain better results and performance than linear, classical methods. This chapter demonstrates the use of non-linear methods by presenting two practical applications: milk yield p…
Towards reactive navigation and attention skills for 3D intelligent characters
2003
This paper presents a neural design which is able to provide the necessary reactive navigation and attention skills for 3D embodied agents (virtual humanoids or characters). Based on Grossberg's neural model of conditioning [6], as recently implemented by Chang and Gaudiando [7], and according to the Adaptative Resonance Theory (ART) and the neuroscientific concepts associated, the neural design introduced has been divided in two main phases. Firstly, an environmentcategorization phase, where an on-line pattern recognition and categorization of the current agent sensory input data is carried out by a self organizing neural network, which will finally provide the agent's short term memory la…
Preamble Transmission Prediction for mMTC Bursty Traffic : A Machine Learning based Approach
2020
The evolution of Internet of things (IoT) towards massive IoT in recent years has stimulated a surge of traffic volume among which a huge amount of traffic is generated in the form of massive machine type communications. Consequently, existing network infrastructure is facing challenges when handling rapidly growing traffic load, especially under bursty traffic conditions which may more often lead to congestion. By proactively predicting the occurrence of congestion, we can implement necessary means and conceivably avoid congestion. In this paper, we propose a machine learning (ML) based model for predicting successful preamble transmissions at a base station and subsequently forecasting th…
Automated microorganisms activity detection on the early growth stage using artificial neural networks
2019
The paper proposes an approach of a novel non-contact optical technique for early evaluation of microbial activity. Noncontact evaluation will exploit laser speckle contrast imaging technique in combination with artificial neural network (ANN) based image processing. Microbial activity evaluation process will comprise acquisition of time variable laser speckle patterns in given sample, ANN based image processing and visualization of obtained results. The proposed technology will measure microbial activity (like growth speed) and implement these results for counting live microbes. It is expected, that proposed technology will help to evaluate number of colony forming units (CFU) and return r…
Tabu and Scatter Search for Artificial Neural Networks
2003
In this paper we address the problem of training multilayer feed-forward neural networks. These networks have been widely used for both prediction and classification in many different areas. Although the most popular method for training these networks is back propagation, other optimization methods such as tabu search or scatter search have been applied to solve this problem. This paper presents a new training algorithm based on the tabu search methodology that incorporates elements for search intensification and diversification by utilizing strategic designs where other previous approaches resort to randomization. Our method considers context and search information, as it is provided by th…
Fall Detection Based on the Instantaneous Doppler Frequency : A Machine Learning Approach
2019
Modern societies are facing an ageing problem which comes with increased cost of healthcare. A major share of this ever-increasing cost is due to fall related injuries, which urges the development of fall detection systems. In this context, this paper paves the way for building of a radio-frequency-based fall detection system. This paper presents an activity simulator that generates the complex channel gain of indoor channels in the presence of one person performing three different activities, namely, slow fall, fast fall, and walking. We built a machine learning framework for activity recognition based on the complex channel gain. We assess the recognition accuracy of three different class…
Constructing Interpretable Classifiers to Diagnose Gastric Cancer Based on Breath Tests
2017
Quick, inexpensive and accurate diagnosis of gastric cancer is a necessity, but at this moment the available methods do not hold up. One of the most promising possibilities is breath test analysis, which is quick, relatively inexpensive and comfortable to the person tested. However, this method has not yet been well explored. Therefore in this article the authors propose using transparent classification models to explain diagnostic patterns and knowledge, which is acquired in the process. The models are induced using decision tree classification algorithms and RIPPER algorithm for decision rule induction. The accuracy of these models is compared to neural network accuracy.
Adaptive Continuous Feature Binarization for Tsetlin Machines Applied to Forecasting Dengue Incidences in the Philippines
2020
The Tsetlin Machine (TM) is a recent interpretable machine learning algorithm that requires relatively modest computational power, yet attains competitive accuracy in several benchmarks. TMs are inherently binary; however, many machine learning problems are continuous. While binarization of continuous data through brute-force thresholding has yielded promising accuracy, such an approach is computationally expensive and hinders extrapolation. In this paper, we address these limitations by standardizing features to support scale shifts in the transition from training data to real-world operation, typical for e.g. forecasting. For scalability, we employ sampling to reduce the number of binariz…
Automatic Myocardial Infarction Evaluation from Delayed-Enhancement Cardiac MRI Using Deep Convolutional Networks
2021
In this paper, we propose a new deep learning framework for an automatic myocardial infarction evaluation from clinical information and delayed enhancement-MRI (DE-MRI). The proposed framework addresses two tasks. The first task is automatic detection of myocardial contours, the infarcted area, the no-reflow area, and the left ventricular cavity from a short-axis DE-MRI series. It employs two segmentation neural networks. The first network is used to segment the anatomical structures such as the myocardium and left ventricular cavity. The second network is used to segment the pathological areas such as myocardial infarction, myocardial no-reflow, and normal myocardial region. The segmented …
