The neural controller is trained to model the experimental inverse model of the plant using the backpropagation algorithm with simulated annealing. The inverse model of the plant is obtained by the training mechanism that uses experimental input and output data. After the training, the neural network is used as a forward controller. The efficiency and the robustness of the controller are shown through experimental tests. The neural control algorithm is implemented in a computer and the performance of controller is evaluated under a set of experimental tests made to the active control of vibrations of a mechanical system of one degree of freedom actuated by magnetic actuators.","PeriodicalId":448461,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

It is a two-dimensional array consisting of discrete chaotic elements. Time evolution of chaotic maps corresponding to an object in the given scene are synchronized and desynchronized with respect to time evolution of chaotic elements corresponding to different objects. As a continuous chaotic oscillatory correlation network, this model can escape from the synchrony-desynchrony dilemma and so has unbounded capacity of segmentation too. In the present model, coupling range of each active element dynamically increases according to predefined rules, until a saturated state is achieved, i.e., locally coupled chaotic maps corresponding to an object at the start are coupled globally at the end. Consequently, both of the advantages of global coupling and local coupling are incorporated in a unique scheme. Another significant result is that good performance and transparent dynamics of the model are obtained by utilizing only one-dimensional chaotic map instead of complex neurons as each element.","PeriodicalId":448461,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Maptu classifies a pattern vector, x, by determining whether x max-prod w is less than 0.5 or greater than 0.5. Here w, consisting of non-negative values, is referred to as the weight vector. As part of training w is found by setting it equal to c* 0.5/max X/sup -/. X/sup -/ is the matrix whose rows are the training patterns belonging to class-. Maximization is done within the columns of X/sup -/. Since (x max-prod w<0.5) vs. (x max-prod w>0.5) is not symmetrical because the former is much more restrictive than the latter a satisfiability factor based on X/sup -/ and X/sup +/ is calculated to determine which set of training data should be labeled class-and which should be labeled class/sup +/. Let X/sup +/ denote the matrix whose rows are the training patterns belonging to class/sup +/. The only iteration is involved in finding c by trying values greater than 0 near 1. The method is tried with success on 4 different sets of data. Results obtained by other methods in classification of this data is used for comparison to the method using maptu.","PeriodicalId":448461,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. Vol.1.

Despite the many successful applications of backpropagation, it has many drawbacks. For complex problems it may require a long time to train the networks, and it may not train at all. Long training time can be the result of the non-optimal parameters. It is not easy to choose appropriate value of the parameters for a particular problem. In the paper, by interconnection of fixed structure learning automata (FSLA) to the feedforward neural networks, we apply learning automata scheme for adjusting these parameters based on the observation of random response of neural networks. The main motivation in using learning automata as an adaptation algorithm is to use its capability of global optimization when dealing with multi-model surface. The feasibility of proposed method is shown through simulations on three learning problems: exclusive-or, encoding problems, and digit recognition. The simulation results show that the adaptation of these parameters using this method not only increases the convergence rate of learning but it increases the likelihood of escaping from the local minima.","PeriodicalId":448461,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The elastic net algorithm is a mechanical metaphor in which an elastic ring is attracted by points in a bi-dimensional space while their internal elastic forces try to shun the elastic expansion. The different weights associated with these two kinds of forces lead the elastic to a gradual expansion in the direction of the bi-dimensional points. In this method, the elastic net algorithm is employed with the help of a heuristic framework that improves its performance for application in the n-dimensional space of cluster analysis. Tests were made with two types of data sets: (1) simulated data sets with up to 1000 points randomly generated in groups linearly separable with up to dimension 10 and (2) the Fisher Iris Plant database, a well-known database referred to in the pattern recognition literature. The advantages of the method presented are its simplicity, its fast and stable convergence, beyond efficiency in cluster analysis.","PeriodicalId":448461,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. Vol.1.

However, combinatorial coding theory is an independent area of investigations. Algebraic codes own fertile geometric properties. Packing and covering radii are two important parameters of an algebraic code. In the author's previous paper (1997), two inequalities relating these parameters with thoroughness and sparsity of a blind search algorithm were established. In this paper we present a closed expression for the thoroughness of a random blind search algorithm in two cases: baseline random search and random blind search guided by an algebraic code.
