Design and development of an emulated human cognition using novel 3D neural networks
This paper describes the development of an Emulated Human Cognition (EHC) which is designed and based on a replicated human brain with a right- and a left- hand lobe, one a deductive side and the other a generic one. Right-hand lobe consists of a newly designed Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with a multi-hidden layer topology. Left-hand lobe is a newly designed 3-dimensional cellular neural network. The input variables presented to the EHC are immediately analysed for it to decide which lobe should be activated. The EHC, when fully developed, has almost an unlimited memory capacity and is capable of immediate recall of any data in its almost unlimited memory locations. EHC has been used in several applications where neural networks have been used to establish relationship between two or more sets of variables. In this paper the EHC has been used to forecast demand for a given product
Decision Making in the Medical Domain: Comparing the Effectiveness of GP-Generated Fuzzy Intelligent Structures
ABSTRACT: In this work, we examine the effectiveness of two intelligent models in medical domains. Namely, we apply grammar-guided genetic programming to produce fuzzy intelligent structures, such as fuzzy rule-based systems and fuzzy Petri nets, in medical data mining tasks. First, we use two context-free grammars to describe fuzzy rule-based systems and fuzzy Petri nets with genetic programming. Then, we apply cellular encoding in order to express the fuzzy Petri nets with arbitrary size and topology. The models are examined thoroughly in four real-world medical data sets. Results are presented in detail and the competitive advantages and drawbacks of the selected methodologies are discussed, in respect to the nature of each application domain. Conclusions are drawn on the effectiveness and efficiency of the presented approach
Intelligent systems in manufacturing: current developments and future prospects
Global competition and rapidly changing customer requirements are demanding increasing changes in manufacturing environments. Enterprises are required to constantly redesign their products and continuously reconfigure their manufacturing systems. Traditional approaches to manufacturing systems do not fully satisfy this new situation. Many authors have proposed that artificial intelligence will bring the flexibility and efficiency needed by manufacturing systems. This paper is a review of artificial intelligence techniques used in manufacturing systems. The paper first defines the components of a simplified intelligent manufacturing systems (IMS), the different Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to be considered and then shows how these AI techniques are used for the components of IMS
Understanding Mobile Traffic Patterns of Large Scale Cellular Towers in Urban Environment
Understanding mobile traffic patterns of large scale cellular towers in urban
environment is extremely valuable for Internet service providers, mobile users,
and government managers of modern metropolis. This paper aims at extracting and
modeling the traffic patterns of large scale towers deployed in a metropolitan
city. To achieve this goal, we need to address several challenges, including
lack of appropriate tools for processing large scale traffic measurement data,
unknown traffic patterns, as well as handling complicated factors of urban
ecology and human behaviors that affect traffic patterns. Our core contribution
is a powerful model which combines three dimensional information (time,
locations of towers, and traffic frequency spectrum) to extract and model the
traffic patterns of thousands of cellular towers. Our empirical analysis
reveals the following important observations. First, only five basic
time-domain traffic patterns exist among the 9,600 cellular towers. Second,
each of the extracted traffic pattern maps to one type of geographical
locations related to urban ecology, including residential area, business
district, transport, entertainment, and comprehensive area. Third, our
frequency-domain traffic spectrum analysis suggests that the traffic of any
tower among the 9,600 can be constructed using a linear combination of four
primary components corresponding to human activity behaviors. We believe that
the proposed traffic patterns extraction and modeling methodology, combined
with the empirical analysis on the mobile traffic, pave the way toward a deep
understanding of the traffic patterns of large scale cellular towers in modern
metropolis.Comment: To appear at IMC 201
Genetic Programming for Smart Phone Personalisation
Personalisation in smart phones requires adaptability to dynamic context
based on user mobility, application usage and sensor inputs. Current
personalisation approaches, which rely on static logic that is developed a
priori, do not provide sufficient adaptability to dynamic and unexpected
context. This paper proposes genetic programming (GP), which can evolve program
logic in realtime, as an online learning method to deal with the highly dynamic
context in smart phone personalisation. We introduce the concept of
collaborative smart phone personalisation through the GP Island Model, in order
to exploit shared context among co-located phone users and reduce convergence
time. We implement these concepts on real smartphones to demonstrate the
capability of personalisation through GP and to explore the benefits of the
Island Model. Our empirical evaluations on two example applications confirm
that the Island Model can reduce convergence time by up to two-thirds over
standalone GP personalisation.Comment: 43 pages, 11 figure
