At the HERA e-p collider the expected machine background rates are typically 105 times higher than the rates from physics. The greatest challenge in the trigger is finding methods which suppress the machine background without using lengthy pattern recognition algorithms with prohibitive computing times. This task is optimally suited to a neural network solution. Our present investigations show that feed-forward networks, trained on the topological energy sums from the H1 calorimeter and on first level tracking trigger information, provide an additional background suppression factor compared to the traditional method which operates with fixed thresholds. The neural network algorithm — implemented by special purpose fast matrix-vector multiplier chips at the second level of the trigger — allows the lowering of the first level thresholds which is shown to be important to get good efficiencies for specific physics event classes.

Ultrasonic sensors have been used in a variety of applications to measure ranges to objects. Hand gestures via ultrasonic sensors form unique motion patterns for controls. In this research, patterns formed by placing a set of objects in a grid of cells are used for control purposes. A neural network algorithm is implemented on a microcontroller which takes in range signals as inputs read from ultrasonic sensors and classifies them in one of four classes. The neural network is then trained to classify patterns based on objects’ locations in real-time. The testing of the neural network for pattern recognition is performed on a testbed consisting of Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) ultrasonic sensors and a microcontroller. The performance of the proposed model is presented and it is observed the model is highly scalable, accurate, robust and reliable for applications requiring high accuracy such as in robotics and artificial intelligence.

This paper presents the application of Artificial Neural Networks to predict the malfunction probability of the human-machine-environment system, in order to provide some guidance to designers of manufacturing processes. Artificial Neural Networks excel in gathering difficult non-linear relationships between the inputs and outputs of a system. We used, in this work, a feed forward neural network in order to predict the malfunction probability. The neural network is simulated with Matlab. The design experiment presented in this paper was realized at University of Pitesti, at the Faculty of Mechanics and Technology, Technology and Management Department.

In this paper, the winter visibility in Jiangsu Province is simulated by WRF-Chem (Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model coupled with Chemistry) with high spatiotemporal resolutions. Simulation results show that WRF-Chem has good capability to simulate the visibility and related local meteorological elements and air pollutants in Jiangsu in the winters of 2013–2017. For visibility inversion, this study adopts the neural network algorithm. Meteorological elements, including wind speed, humidity and temperature, are introduced to improve the performance of WRF-Chem relative to the visibility inversion scheme, which is based on the Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) extinction coefficient algorithm. The neural network offers a noticeable improvement relative to the inversion scheme of the IMPROVE visibility extinction coefficient, substantially improving the underestimation of winter visibility in Jiangsu Province. For instance, the correlation coefficient increased from 0.17 to 0.42, and root mean square error decreased from 2.62 to 1.76. The visibility inversion results under different humidity and wind speed levels show that the underestimation of the visibility using the IMPROVE scheme is especially remarkable. However, the underestimation issue is essentially solved using the neural network algorithm. This study serves as a basis for further predicting winter haze events in Jiangsu Province using WRF-Chem and deep-learning methods.

Purpose Estimation of the rental price of a residential property is important to real estate investors, financial institutions, buyers and the government. These estimates provide information for assessing the economic viability and the tax accruable, respectively. The purpose of this study is to develop a neural network model for estimating the rental prices of residential properties in Cape Town, South Africa. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected on 14 property attributes and the rental prices were collected from relevant sources. The neural network algorithm was used for model estimation and validation. The data relating to 286 residential properties were collected in 2018. Findings The results show that the predictive accuracy of the developed neural network model is 78.95 per cent. Based on the sensitivity analysis of the model, it was revealed that balcony and floor area have the most significant impact on the rental price of residential properties. However, parking type and swimming pool had the least impact on rental price. Also, the availability of garden and proximity of police station had a low impact on rental price when compared to balcony. Practical implications In the light of these results, the developed neural network model could be used to estimate rental price for taxation. Also, the significant variables identified need to be included in the designs of new residential homes and this would ensure optimal returns to the investors. Originality/value A number of studies have shown that crime influences the value of residential properties. However, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, there is limited research investigating this relationship within the South African context.

This study improves the neural network algorithm that was presented by J.J.Hopfield for solving TSP(travelling salesman problem) and gets an effective algorithm whose time complexity is O(n*n), so we can solve quickly TSP more than 500 cities in microcomputer. The paper considers the algorithm based on the replacement function of the V Value. The improved algorithm can greatly reduces the time and space complexities of Hopfield method. The TSP examples show that the proposed algorithm could efficiently find a satisfactory solution and has a fast convergence speed.
