    This article describes the design of a new model IKMART, for classification of documents and their incorporation into categories based on the KMART architecture. The architecture consists of two networks that mutually cooperate through the interconnection of weights and the output matrix of the coded documents. The architecture retains required network features such as incremental learning without the need of descriptive and input/output fuzzy data, learning acceleration and classification of documents and a minimal number of user-defined parameters. The conducted experiments with real documents showed a more precise categorization of documents and higher classification performance in comparison to the classic KMART algorithm.Web of Science145634

    Mining Wireless Sensor Network Data: an adaptive approach based on artificial neuralnetworks algorithm

    This paper proposes a layered modular architecture to adaptively perform data mining tasks in large sensor networks. The architecture consists in a lower layer which performs data aggregation in a modular fashion and in an upper layer which employs an adaptive local learning technique to extract a prediction model from the aggregated information. The rationale of the approach is that a modular aggregation of sensor data can serve jointly two purposes: first, the organization of sensors in clusters, then reducing the communication effort, second, the dimensionality reduction of the data mining task, then improving the accuracy of the sensing task . Here we show that some of the algorithms developed within the artificial neuralnetworks tradition can be easily adopted to wireless sensor-network platforms and will meet several aspects of the constraints for data mining in sensor networks like: limited communication bandwidth, limited computing resources, limited power supply, and the need for fault-tolerance. The analysis of the dimensionality reduction obtained from the outputs of the neural-networks clustering algorithms shows that the communication costs of the proposed approach are significantly smaller, which is an important consideration in sensor-networks due to limited power supply. In this paper we will present two possible implementations of the ART and FuzzyART neuralnetworks algorithms, which are unsupervised learning methods for categorization of the sensory inputs. They are tested on a data obtained from a set of several nodes, equipped with several sensors each

    POWER SYSTEM FAULT DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION BY WAVELET TRANSFORMS AND ADAPTIVE RESONANCE THEORY NEURAL NETWORKS

    This thesis aims at detecting and classifying the power system transmission line faults. To deal with the problem of an extremely large data set with different fault situations, a three step optimized Neural Network approach has been proposed. The approach utilizes Discrete Wavelet Transform for detection and two different types of self-organized, unsupervised Adaptive Resonance Theory Neural Networks for classification. The fault scenarios are simulated using Alternate Transients Program and the performance of this highly improved scheme is compared with the existing techniques. The simulation results prove that the proposed technique handles large data more efficiently and time of operation is considerably less when compared to the existing methods

    Machine learning and its applications in reliability analysis systems

    Get PDF
    In this thesis, we are interested in exploring some aspects of Machine Learning (ML) and its application in the Reliability Analysis systems (RAs). We begin by investigating some ML paradigms and their- techniques, go on to discuss the possible applications of ML in improving RAs performance, and lastly give guidelines of the architecture of learning RAs. Our survey of ML covers both levels of Neural Network learning and Symbolic learning. In symbolic process learning, five types of learning and their applications are discussed: rote learning, learning from instruction, learning from analogy, learning from examples, and learning from observation and discovery. The Reliability Analysis systems (RAs) presented in this thesis are mainly designed for maintaining plant safety supported by two functions: risk analysis function, i.e., failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) ; and diagnosis function, i.e., real-time fault location (RTFL). Three approaches have been discussed in creating the RAs. According to the result of our survey, we suggest currently the best design of RAs is to embed model-based RAs, i.e., MORA (as software) in a neural network based computer system (as hardware). However, there are still some improvement which can be made through the applications of Machine Learning. By implanting the 'learning element', the MORA will become learning MORA (La MORA) system, a learning Reliability Analysis system with the power of automatic knowledge acquisition and inconsistency checking, and more. To conclude our thesis, we propose an architecture of La MORA

    A Bottom-Up Design and Implementation for Ambiguity-Compatible Natural Language Sentence Parsing

    Although many theory-focused computer science textbooks give a brief outline of a context-free grammar model of natural language, the approach is often vague and, in reality, greatly simplifies the English language’s grammatical complexities. When applied to commonly-seen sentences, these sentence parsing models often fall short. In this paper, I detail my process of creating a programmable natural language context-free grammar that is able to parse (i.e. diagram) many common sentence forms, as well as the research which influenced the design of this project. In order to create a grammar that recognized the intricacies of the English language, I also incorporated the ability to identify and represent ambiguous sentences into my program. While the resulting program is not able to correctly parse every possible English sentence, ambiguous or not, it does function as an introduction to the field of computational linguistics and the difficulties present in this field

    The local Langlands correspondence for inner forms of SL_n

    Get PDF
    Let F be a non-archimedean local eld. We establish the local Langlands correspondence for all inner forms of the group SLn(F). It takes the form of a bijection between, on the one hand, conjugacy classes of Langlands parameters for SLn(F) enhanced with an irreducible representation of an S-group and, on the other hand, the union of the spaces of irreducible admissible representations of all inner forms of SLn(F) up to equivalence. An analogous result is shown in the archimedean case. For p-adic elds this is based on the work of Hiraga and Saito. To settle the case where F has positive characteristic, we employ the method of close elds. We prove that this method is compatible with the local Langlands correspondence for inner forms of GLn(F), when the elds are close enough compared to the depth of the representations.<br/
