Additive manufacturing (AM) continues to rise in popularity due to its various advantages over traditional manufacturing processes. AM interests industry, but achieving repeatable production quality remains problematic for many AM technologies. Thus, modeling the influence of process variables on the production quality in AM can be highly beneficial in creating useful knowledge of the process and product. An approach combining dimensional analysis conceptual modeling, mutual information based analysis, experimental sampling, factors selection, and modeling based on Knowledge-Based Artificial Neural Network (KB-ANN) is proposed for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) process. KB-ANN reduces the excessive amount of training samples required in traditional neural networks. The developed KB-ANN’s topology for FDM, integrates existing literature and expert knowledge of the process. The KB-ANN is compared to conventional ANN using prescribed performance metrics. This research presents a methodology to concurrently perform experiments, classify influential factors, limit the effect of noise in the modeled system, and model using KB-ANN. This research can contribute to the qualification efforts of AM technologies.

Additive manufacturing (AM) continues to rise in popularity due to its various advantages over traditional manufacturing processes. AM interests industry, but achieving repeatable production quality remains problematic for many AM technologies. Thus, modeling different process variables in AM using machine learning can be highly beneficial in creating useful knowledge of the process. Such developed artificial neural network (ANN) models would aid designers and manufacturers to make informed decisions about their products and processes. However, it is challenging to define an appropriate ANN topology that captures the AM system behavior. Toward that goal, an approach combining dimensional analysis conceptual modeling (DACM) and classical ANNs is proposed to create a new type of knowledge-based ANN (KB-ANN). This approach integrates existing literature and expert knowledge of the AM process to define a topology for the KB-ANN model. The proposed KB-ANN is a hybrid learning network that encompasses topological zones derived from knowledge of the process and other zones where missing knowledge is modeled using classical ANNs. The usefulness of the method is demonstrated using a case study to model wall thickness, part height, and total part mass in a fused deposition modeling (FDM) process. The KB-ANN-based model for FDM has the same performance with better generalization capabilities using fewer weights trained, when compared to a classical ANN.

Support generation is an essential for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) process which is dependent on part deposition orientation. Various part deposition orientation result in formation of different support and non-support features. Present work focuses on extracting the support features containing Externally-Supported Features (ESF) which are able to determine the volume and number of support structure. The methodology proposed in this work uses these information as an input for Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in order to automate the selection of optimum part deposition orientation. The results produced in present methodology can be predicted and are in agreement with the results published earlier.

Rare event detections are performed using spatial domain and frequency domain-based procedures. Omnipresent surveillance camera footages are increasing exponentially due course the time. Monitoring all the events manually is an insignificant and more time-consuming process. Therefore, an automated rare event detection contrivance is required to make this process manageable. In this work, a Context-Free Grammar (CFG) is developed for detecting rare events from a video stream and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used to train CFG. A set of dedicated algorithms are used to perform frame split process, edge detection, background subtraction and convert the processed data into CFG. The developed CFG is converted into nodes and edges to form a graph. The graph is given to the input layer of an ANN to classify normal and rare event classes. Graph derived from CFG using input video stream is used to train ANN Further the performance of developed Artificial Neural Network Based Context-Free Grammar – Rare Event Detection (ACFG-RED) is compared with other existing techniques and performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, sensitivity, recall, average processing time and average processing power are used for performance estimation and analyzed. Better performance metrics values have been observed for the ANN-CFG model compared with other techniques. The developed model will provide a better solution in detecting rare events using video streams.

Summary Objectives: The aim of the paper is to analyze transient events in inter-ictal EEG recordings, and classify epileptic activity into focal or generalized epilepsy using an automated method. Methods: A two-stage approach is proposed. In the first stage the observed transient events of a single channel are classified into four categories: epileptic spike (ES), muscle activity (EMG), eye blinking activity (EOG), and sharp alpha activity (SAA). The process is based on an artificial neural network. Different artificial neural network architectures have been tried and the network having the lowest error has been selected using the hold out approach. In the second stage a knowledge-based system is used to produce diagnosis for focal or generalized epileptic activity. Results: The classification of transient events reported high overall accuracy (84.48%), while the knowledge-based system for epilepsy diagnosis correctly classified nine out of ten cases. Conclusions: The proposed method is advantageous since it effectively detects and classifies the undesirable activity into appropriate categories and produces a final outcome related to the existence of epilepsy.

Bp Neural Network Model

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) has been widely applied in complex parts manufacturing and rapid tooling and so on. The precision of prototype was affected by many factors during FDM, so it is difficult to depict the process using a precise mathematical model. A novel approach for establishing a BP neural network model to predict FDM prototype precision was proposed in this paper. Firstly, based on analyzing effect of each factor on prototyping precision, some key parameters were confirmed to be feature parameters of BP neural networks. Then, the dimensional numbers of input layer and middle hidden layer were confirmed according to practical conditions, and therefore the model structure was fixed. Finally, the structure was trained by a great lot of experimental data, a model of BP neural network to predict precision of FDM prototype was constituted. The results show that the error can be controlled within 10%, which possesses excellent capability of predicting precision.

Abstract Globally, the provision of energy is becoming an absolute necessity. Biomass resources are abundant and have been described as a potential alternative source of energy. However, it is important to assess the fuel characteristics of the various available biomass sources. Soft computing techniques are presented in this study to predict the mass yield (MY), energy yield (EY), and higher heating value (HHV) of hydrothermally carbonized biomass by using Gene Expression Programming (GEP), multiple-input single output-artificial neural network (MISO-ANN), and Multilinear regression (MLR). The three techniques were compared using statistical performance metrics. The coefficient of determination (R2), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean bias error (MBE) were used to evaluate the performance of the models. The MISO-ANN with 5-10-10-1 and 5-15-15-1 network architectures provided the most satisfactory performance of the three proposed models (R2 = 0.976, 0.955, 0.996; MAE = 2.24, 2.11, 0.93; MBE = 0.16, 0.37, 0.12) for MY, EY and HHV respectively. The GEP technique’s ability to predict hydrochar properties based on the input parameters was found to be satisfactory, while MLR provided an unsatisfactory predictive model. Sensitivity analysis was conducted, and the analysis revealed that volatile matter (VM) and temperature (Temp) have more influence on the MY, EY, and HHV.
