Application of neural networks incorporated with real-valued genetic algorithms in knowledge acquisition

[[abstract]]Often a major difficulty in the design of rule-based systems is the process of acquiring the requisite knowledge in the form of If–Then rules. This paper presents a class of fuzzy degraded hyperellipsoidal composite neural networks (FDHECNNs) that are trained to provide appealing solutions to the problem of knowledge acquisition. The values of the network parameters, after sufficient training, are then utilized to generate If–Then rules on the basis of preselected meaningful features. In order to avoid the risk of getting stuck in local minima during the training process, a real-valued genetic algorithm is proposed to train FDHECNNs. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated on two problems, namely, the “truck backer-upper” problem as well as real-world application of a hypothesis regarding the pathophysiology of diabetes.[[notice]]補正完

Temperature-Aware Design and Management for 3D Multi-Core Architectures

Vertically-integrated 3D multiprocessors systems-on-chip (3D MPSoCs) provide the means to continue integrating more functionality within a unit area while enhancing manufacturing yields and runtime performance. However, 3D MPSoCs incur amplified thermal challenges that undermine the corresponding reliability. To address these issues, several advanced cooling technologies, alongside temperature-aware design-time optimizations and run-time management schemes have been proposed. In this monograph, we provide an overall survey on the recent advances in temperature-aware 3D MPSoC considerations. We explore the recent advanced cooling strategies, thermal modeling frameworks, design-time optimizations and run-time thermal management schemes that are primarily targeted for 3D MPSoCs. Our aim of proposing this survey is to provide a global perspective, highlighting the advancements and drawbacks on the recent state-of-the-ar
