In the process of the global search, DE is an evolutionary algorithm based on the difference in group that can quickly approach a approximate optimal solution. During the local search, as a powerful local search capabilities algorithm EO with adaptive lévy mutation helps DE out of local maximum points. Simulation study and its application have proved its capability of strong global search and high immunity against premature convergence. Then HEODE is applied to train artificial neural network to construct a practical soft-sensor of jet fuel endpoint of main fractionator of hydrocracking unit. The obtained results indicate that the new method proposed by this paper is feasible and effective in soft-sensing of jet fuel endpoint.","PeriodicalId":235382,"journal":{"name":"2009 Fifth International Conference on Natural Computation","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114821462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A novel algorithm named Iterative Suppression Polynomial Fitting algorithm (ISPF) based on modified polynomial fitting method was proposed in this work, which could eliminate the baseline automatically compared to former mathematical methods. The principle of ISPF is intelligible. Raman spectra signal was selected as the investigated subject of experimental section. The drift baseline which is caused by fluorescence blocked up further analysis. After processing with ISPF algorithm, baseline drifts were subtracted from the original Raman spectra signals, rice grains from different places were clearly classified by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results proved the efficiency of ISPF algorithm, which could be extended to other field for signal de-noising.","PeriodicalId":235382,"journal":{"name":"2009 Fifth International Conference on Natural Computation","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114852502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is very time consuming since a complete model development cycle is needed for each input variable combination. In this study, the Gamma Test (GT) is explored for its suitability in reducing model development workload and providing input data guidance before actual models are developed. The nonlinear dynamic model tested is the generalized regression neural network (GRNN). It has been found that the overall performance of the Gamma Test is quite encouraging and the GT demonstrates its huge potential for efficient GRNN model development. The Gamma values are able to provide a good indication about the achievable accuracy for the GRNN models and this has a distinctive advantage over the traditional model selection approaches.","PeriodicalId":235382,"journal":{"name":"2009 Fifth International Conference on Natural Computation","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116021972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, a hybrid PSO algorithm combined with chaotic search is proposed in application to improve the local exploitation quality.

The whole consumer environment is represented with a 2-dimensional grid. Our purpose is to look into the interactions between consumers and markets. Each grid represents a consumer, whose behavior is determined by itself, other consumers, and market. Four constructs are considered, including feedback, interaction, static, and term (to be referred as FIST).
