The optimization of force inputs for active structural acoustic control using a neural network
This paper investigates the use of a neural network to determine which force actuators, of a multi-actuator array, are best activated in order to achieve structural-acoustic control. The concept is demonstrated using a cylinder/cavity model on which the control forces, produced by piezoelectric actuators, are applied with the objective of reducing the interior noise. A two-layer neural network is employed and the back propagation solution is compared with the results calculated by a conventional, least-squares optimization analysis. The ability of the neural network to accurately and efficiently control actuator activation for interior noise reduction is demonstrated
Quaternion Backpropagation
Quaternion valued neural networks experienced rising popularity and interest
from researchers in the last years, whereby the derivatives with respect to
quaternions needed for optimization are calculated as the sum of the partial
derivatives with respect to the real and imaginary parts. However, we can show
that product- and chain-rule does not hold with this approach. We solve this by
employing the GHRCalculus and derive quaternion backpropagation based on this.
Furthermore, we experimentally prove the functionality of the derived
quaternion backpropagation
A Prediction Model to Diabetes using Artificial Metaplasticity
Diabetes is the most common disease nowadays in all populations and in all age groups. Different techniques of artificial intelligence has been applied to diabetes problem. This research proposed the artificial metaplasticity on multilayer perceptron (AMMLP) as prediction model for prediction of diabetes. The Pima Indians diabetes was used to test the proposed model AMMLP. The results obtained by AMMLP were compared with other algorithms, recently proposed by other researchers, that were applied to the same database. The best result obtained so far with the AMMLP algorithm is 89.93
