Development of a method for assessment and forecasting of the radio electronic environment

Decision making support systems (DSS) are actively used in all spheres of human life. The system of the electronic environment analysis is not an exception. However, there are a number of problems in the analysis of the electronic environment, for example: the signals are analyzed in a complex electronic environment against the background of intentional and natural interference. Input signals do not match the standards, and their interpretation depends on the experience of the operator (expert), the completeness of additional information on a particular task (uncertainty condition). The best solution in this situation is found in the integration with the data of the information system analysis of the electronic environment, artificial neural networks and fuzzy cognitive models. Their advantages are also the ability to work in real time and quick adaptation to specific situations. The article develops a method for assessing and forecasting the electronic environment. Improving the efficiency of evaluation information processing is achieved through the use of evolving neuro-fuzzy artificial neural networks; learning not only the synaptic weights of the artificial neural network, the type and parameters of the membership function. The efficiency of information processing is also achieved through training in the architecture of artificial neural networks; taking into account the type of uncertainty of the information that has to be assessed; synthesis of rational structure of fuzzy cognitive model. It reduces the computational complexity of decision-making; has no accumulation of learning error of artificial neural networks as a result of processing the information coming to the input of artificial neural networks. The example of assessing the state of the electronic environment showed an increase in the efficiency of assessment at the level of 15–25 % on the efficiency of information processin

DEVELOPMENT OF AN ADVANCED METHOD OF FINDING SOLUTIONS FOR NEURO-FUZZY EXPERT SYSTEMS OF ANALYSIS OF THE RADIOELECTRONIC SITUATION

Nowadays, artificial intelligence has entered into all spheres of our life. The system of analysis of the electronic environment is not an exception. However, there are a number of problems in the analysis of the electronic environment, namely the signals. They are analyzed in a complex electronic environment against the background of intentional and natural interference. Also, the input signals do not match the standards due to the influence of different types of interference. Interpretation of signals depends on the experience of the operator, the completeness of additional information on a specific condition of uncertainty. The best solution in this situation is to integrate with the data of the information system analysis of the electronic environment and artificial neural networks. Their advantage is also the ability to work in real time and quick adaptation to specific situations. These circumstances cause uncertainty in the conditions of the task of signal recognition and fuzzy statements in their interpretation, when the additional involved information may be incomplete and the operator makes decisions based on their experience. That is why, in this article, an improved method for finding solutions for neuro-fuzzy expert systems of analysis of the electronic environment is developed. Improving the efficiency of information processing (reducing the error) of evaluation is achieved through the use of neuro-fuzzy artificial neural networks that are evolving and learning not only the synaptic weights of the artificial neural network, but also the type and parameters of the membership function. High efficiency of information processing is also achieved through training in the architecture of artificial neural networks by taking into account the type of uncertainty of the information that has to be assessed and work with clear and fuzzy products. This reduces the computational complexity of decision-making and absence of accumulation of an error of training of artificial neural networks as a result of processing of the arriving information on an input of artificial neural networks. The use of the proposed method was tested on the example of assessing the state of the electronic environment. This example showed an increase in the efficiency of assessment at the level of 20–25 % on the efficiency of the processing informatio

Learning Opposites Using Neural Networks

Many research works have successfully extended algorithms such as evolutionary algorithms, reinforcement agents and neural networks using "opposition-based learning" (OBL). Two types of the "opposites" have been defined in the literature, namely \textit{type-I} and \textit{type-II}. The former are linear in nature and applicable to the variable space, hence easy to calculate. On the other hand, type-II opposites capture the "oppositeness" in the output space. In fact, type-I opposites are considered a special case of type-II opposites where inputs and outputs have a linear relationship. However, in many real-world problems, inputs and outputs do in fact exhibit a nonlinear relationship. Therefore, type-II opposites are expected to be better in capturing the sense of "opposition" in terms of the input-output relation. In the absence of any knowledge about the problem at hand, there seems to be no intuitive way to calculate the type-II opposites. In this paper, we introduce an approach to learn type-II opposites from the given inputs and their outputs using the artificial neural networks (ANNs). We first perform \emph{opposition mining} on the sample data, and then use the mined data to learn the relationship between input $x$ and its opposite $\breve{x}$. We have validated our algorithm using various benchmark functions to compare it against an evolving fuzzy inference approach that has been recently introduced. The results show the better performance of a neural approach to learn the opposites. This will create new possibilities for integrating oppositional schemes within existing algorithms promising a potential increase in convergence speed and/or accuracy.Comment: To appear in proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR 2016), Cancun, Mexico, December 201

Born to learn: The inspiration, progress, and future of evolved plastic artificial neural networks

Biological plastic neural networks are systems of extraordinary computational capabilities shaped by evolution, development, and lifetime learning. The interplay of these elements leads to the emergence of adaptive behavior and intelligence. Inspired by such intricate natural phenomena, Evolved Plastic Artificial Neural Networks (EPANNs) use simulated evolution in-silico to breed plastic neural networks with a large variety of dynamics, architectures, and plasticity rules: these artificial systems are composed of inputs, outputs, and plastic components that change in response to experiences in an environment. These systems may autonomously discover novel adaptive algorithms, and lead to hypotheses on the emergence of biological adaptation. EPANNs have seen considerable progress over the last two decades. Current scientific and technological advances in artificial neural networks are now setting the conditions for radically new approaches and results. In particular, the limitations of hand-designed networks could be overcome by more flexible and innovative solutions. This paper brings together a variety of inspiring ideas that define the field of EPANNs. The main methods and results are reviewed. Finally, new opportunities and developments are presented
