Blasting vibration is harmful to the nearby habitants and dwellings in diverse geotechnical engineering. In this paper, a novel scheme based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method optimized by dimensionality reduction of Factor Analysis and Mean Impact Value (FA-MIV) is proposed to predict peak particle velocity (PPV) of blasting vibration. To construct the model, nine parameters of field measurement are taken as undetermined input parameters for research, while peak particle velocity (PPV) is considered as output parameter. With the application of FA, common factors are extracted from undetermined input parameters. Then, principal components are defined as a linear combination of common factors. The weight of each principal components effected on output parameter is ranked according to the calculation of MIV, and two principal components with minimum weight are eliminated. Ultimately, output parameter (PPV) is explained in a low-dimensional space with four input characteristic parameters. In the prepared database consisting of 108 datasets, 98 datasets are used for the training of the model, while the rest are used for testing performance. The performances of the ANN models are compared with regression analysis, in terms of coefficient of determination (R2) and mean absolute error (MAE). It is found that the performances of ANN models with using FA-MIV are superior to those of models without using FA-MIV in the prediction of PPV. In addition, the abilities of ANN models are all superior to regression analysis in the prediction of PPV. The result obtained from ELM is more accurate than BPNN and MVRA models.

In remote sensing community, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is widely utilized for dimensionality reduction in order to deal with high spectral-dimension data. However, dimensionality reduction through PCA results in loss of some spectral information. Analysis of an Earth-scene, based on first few principal component bands/channels, introduces error in classification, particularly since the dimensionality reduction in PCA does not consider accuracy of classification as a requirement. The present research work explores a different approach called Multi-Classifier System (MCS)/Ensemble classification to analyse high spectral-dimension satellite remote sensing data of WorldView-2 sensor. It examines the utility of MCS in landuse-landcover (LULC) classification without compromising any channel i.e. avoiding loss of information by utilizing all of the available spectral channels. It also presents a comparative study of classification results obtained by using only principal components by a single classifier and using all the original spectral channels in MCS. Comparative study of the classification results in the present work, demonstrates that utilizing all channels in MCS of five Artificial Neural Network classifiers outperforms a single Artificial Neural Network classifier that uses only first three principal components for classification process.

All manufacturing engineers are faced with a lot of difficulties and high expenses associated with grinding processes of AZ61. For that reason, manufacturing engineers waste a lot of time and effort trying to reach the required surface roughness values according to the design drawing during the turning process. In this paper, an artificial neural network (ANN) modeling is used to estimate and optimize the surface roughness (Ra) value in cutting conditions of AZ61 magnesium alloy. A number of ANN models were developed and evaluated to obtain the most successful one. In addition to ANN models, traditional regression analysis was also used to build a mathematical model representing the equation required to obtain the surface roughness. Predictions from the model were examined against experimental data and then compared to the ANN model predictions using different performance criteria such as the mean absolute error, mean square error, and coefficient of determination.

AbstractRegression models are often used to predict age of an individual based on methylation patterns. Artificial neural network (ANN) however was recently shown to be more accurate for age prediction. Additionally, the impact of ethnicity and sex on our previous regression model have not been studied. Furthermore, there is currently no age prediction study investigating the lower limit of input DNA at the bisulfite treatment stage prior to pyrosequencing. Herein, we evaluated both regression and ANN models, and the impact of ethnicity and sex on age prediction for 333 local blood samples using three loci on the pyrosequencing platform. Subsequently, we trained a one locus-based ANN model to reduce the amount of DNA used. We demonstrated that the ANN model has a higher accuracy of age prediction than the regression model. Additionally, we showed that ethnicity did not affect age prediction among local Chinese, Malays and Indians. Although the predicted age of males were marginally overestimated, sex did not impact the accuracy of age prediction. Lastly, we present a one locus, dual CpG model using 25 ng of input DNA that is sufficient for forensic age prediction. In conclusion, the two ANN models validated would be useful for age prediction to provide forensic intelligence leads.

A review is given of a new artificial neural network architecture in which the weights converge to the principal component subspace. The weights learn by only simple Hebbian learning yet require no clipping, normalization or weight decay. The net self-organizes using negative feedback of activation from a set of "interneurons" to the input neurons. By allowing this negative feedback from the interneurons to act on other interneurons we can introduce the necessary asymmetry to cause convergence to the actual principal components. Simulations and analysis confirm such convergence.

Accurate information about groundwater level prediction is crucial for effective planning and management of groundwater resources. In the present study, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN), optimized with a Genetic Algorithm (GA-ANN), was employed for seasonal groundwater table depth (GWTD) prediction in the area between the Ganga and Hindon rivers located in Uttar Pradesh State, India. A total of 18 models for both seasons (nine for the pre-monsoon and nine for the post-monsoon) have been formulated by using groundwater recharge (GWR), groundwater discharge (GWD), and previous groundwater level data from a 21-year period (1994–2014). The hybrid GA-ANN models’ predictive ability was evaluated against the traditional GA models based on statistical indicators and visual inspection. The results appraisal indicates that the hybrid GA-ANN models outperformed the GA models for predicting the seasonal GWTD in the study region. Overall, the hybrid GA-ANN-8 model with an 8-9-1 structure (i.e., 8: inputs, 9: neurons in the hidden layer, and 1: output) was nominated optimal for predicting the GWTD during pre- and post-monsoon seasons. Additionally, it was noted that the maximum number of input variables in the hybrid GA-ANN approach improved the prediction accuracy. In conclusion, the proposed hybrid GA-ANN model’s findings could be readily transferable or implemented in other parts of the world, specifically those with similar geology and hydrogeology conditions for sustainable planning and groundwater resources management.

Coagulant dosing is one of the major operation costs in water treatment plant, and conventional control of this process for most plants is generally determined by the jar test. However, this method can only provide periodic information and is difficult to apply to automatic control. This paper presents the feasibility of applying artificial neural network (ANN) to automatically control the coagulant dosing in water treatment plant. Five on-line monitoring variables including turbidity (NTUin), pH (pHin) and conductivity (Conin) in raw water, effluent turbidity (NTUout) of settling tank, and alum dosage (Dos) were used to build the coagulant dosing prediction model. Three methods including regression model, time series model and ANN models were used to predict alum dosage. According to the result of this study, the regression model performed a poor prediction on coagulant dosage. Both time-series and ANN models performed precise prediction results of dosage. The ANN model with ahead coagulant dosage performed the best prediction of alum dosage with a R2 of 0.97 (RMS=0.016), very low average predicted error of 0.75 mg/L of alum were also found in the ANN model. Consequently, the application of ANN model to control the coagulant dosing is feasible in water treatment.
