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.

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.
