An artificial neural network (ANN) was trained to identify a group of amino acids from near infrared (NIR) spectral data. The input, the hidden and the output layers were composed of 701 (for raw spectral data, fixed) or 324 (for second derivative of the spectral data, fixed) units, 1 to 100 (changeable) units and 20 (fixed) units, respectively. Using the raw spectral data, the ANN did not converge to a suitable error level. However, when the second derivative spectra were used, whether original or standardised spectra, the error reduced to a suitable level, because this mathematical treatment made their differences in NIR spectra clearer. The ANN was trained for non-pretreated amino acids and then applied to the other prediction sets. When standardised spectra were used, the ANN could almost correctly identify the amino acids not only for non-pretreated amino acids but also for ground samples or samples from different batches. The results obtained by principal component analysis (PCA) were also compared with those by the ANN.

Abstract The aim of the study was to compare the ability of multiple linear regression (MLR) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to predict the overall quality of spreadable Gouda cheese during storage at 8 °C, 20 °C and 30 °C. The ANN used five factors selected by Principal Component Analysis, which was used as input data for the ANN calculation. The datasets were divided into three subsets: a training set, a validation set, and a test set. The multiple regression models were highly significant with high determination coefficients: R2 = 0.99, 0.87 and 0.87 for 8, 20 and 30 °C, respectively, which made them a useful tool to predict quality deterioration. Simultaneously, the artificial neural networks models with determination coefficient of R2 = 0.99, 0.96 and 0.96 for 8, 20 and 30 °C, respectively were built. The models based on ANNs with higher values of determination coefficients and lower RMSE values proved to be more accurate. The best fit of the model to the experimental data was found for processed cheese stored at 8 °C.

In this work, a simplified Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based approach for recognition of various objects is explored using multiple features. The objective is to configure and train an ANN to be capable of recognizing an object using a feature set formed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Frequency Domain and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) components. The idea is to use these varied components to form a unique hybrid feature set so as to capture relevant details of objects for recognition using a ANN which for the work is a Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) trained with (error) Back Propagation learning.

With its potential, extensive data analysis is a vital part of biomedical applications and of medical practitioner interpretations, as data analysis ensures the integrity of multidimensional datasets and improves classification accuracy; however, with machine learning, the integrity of the sources is compromised when the acquired data pose a significant threat in diagnosing and analysing such information, such as by including noisy and biased samples in the multidimensional datasets. Removing noisy samples in dirty datasets is integral to and crucial in biomedical applications, such as the classification and prediction problems using artificial neural networks (ANNs) in the body’s physiological signal analysis. In this study, we developed a methodology to identify and remove noisy data from a dataset before addressing the classification problem of an artificial neural network (ANN) by proposing the use of the principal component analysis–sample reduction process (PCA–SRP) to improve its performance as a data-cleaning agent. We first discuss the theoretical background to this data-cleansing methodology in the classification problem of an artificial neural network (ANN). Then, we discuss how the PCA is used in data-cleansing techniques through a sample reduction process (SRP) using various publicly available biomedical datasets with different samples and feature sizes. Lastly, the cleaned datasets were tested through the following: PCA–SRP in ANN accuracy comparison testing, sensitivity vs. specificity testing, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve testing, and accuracy vs. additional random sample testing. The results show a significant improvement in the classification of ANNs using the developed methodology and suggested a recommended range of selectivity (Sc) factors for typical cleaning and ANN applications. Our approach successfully cleaned the noisy biomedical multidimensional datasets and yielded up to an 8% increase in accuracy with the aid of the Python language.

The recognition of human posture from images is currently a very active area of research in computer vision. This paper presents a novel recognition method to determine a human posture is of walking or sitting using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). In this paper, two types of learning are used to recognize the human posture. One is unsupervised and another is supervised learning. We have used PCA for unsupervised learning and ANN for supervised learning. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we have considered four types of human posture; walking, sitting, right leg up-down and left leg up-down. The experimental results on the human action of walking, sitting, right leg up-down and left leg up-down database show that our approach produces accurate recognition.

With the proliferation of the Internet and smart mobile terminals, great progress has been made in the precision placement and benefit-sharing mechanism of commercial advertisements. Meanwhile, media marketing has become increasingly in-depth and precise. So far, mature theories have been proposed on consumer value and precision marketing. But further research is needed to mine the value from the big data on commercial precision marketing. To improve the accuracy of commercial precision marketing, this paper presents an evaluation index system (EIS) for commercial precision marketing based on improved attention-interest-desire-memory-action (ADIMA) model, and determines the principal evaluation indices through principal component analysis (PCA). Next, an artificial neural network (ANN) was established to evaluate commercial precision marketing, and optimized through k-means clustering (KMC). Finally, the optimized model was realized on MATLAB. The proposed EIS and ANN were proved scientific and effectiveness through simulations. The research results provide a reference for the application of the ANN in other fields of marketing.

This paper presents methods based on chemometrics analysis to select the optimal model for variety discrimination of ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba L.) tablets by using a visible/short-wave near-infrared spectroscopy (Vis/NIRS) system. The tablet varieties used in the research include Da na kang, Xin bang, Tian bao ning, Yi kang, Hua na xing, Dou le, Lv yuan, Hai wang, and Ji yao. All samples (n=270) were scanned in the Vis/NIR region between 325-1075nm using a spectrograph. Principal component artificial neural network (PC-ANN) was used to identify the tablet varieties. In PC-ANN models, the scores of the principal components were chosen as the input nodes for the input layer of ANN. Independent component analysis (ICA) was executed to select several optimal wavelengths based on loading weights. The absorbance values log (1/R), corresponding to the wavelengths of 481nm, 1000nm, 460nm, 572nm, 658nm, 401nm, 998nm, 996nm, 468nm and 661nm were then chosen as the input data of artificial neural network (IC-ANN), and the discrimination rate was reached at 95.6%, which was better than PC-ANN. The results indicated that ginkgo tablets discrimination was good based on the both methods.

AbstractBackgroundAfter mating, female mosquitoes need animal blood to develop their eggs. In the process of acquiring blood, they may acquire pathogens, which may cause different diseases to humans such as malaria, zika, dengue, and chikungunya. Therefore, knowing the parity status of mosquitoes is useful in control and evaluation of infectious diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, where parous mosquitoes are assumed to be potentially infectious. Ovary dissections, which currently are used to determine the parity status of mosquitoes, are very tedious and limited to very few experts. An alternative to ovary dissections is near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), which can estimate the age in days and the infectious state of laboratory and semi-field reared mosquitoes with accuracies between 80 and 99%. No study has tested the accuracy of NIRS for estimating the parity status of wild mosquitoes.Methods and resultsIn this study, we train artificial neural network (ANN) models on NIR spectra to estimate the parity status of wild mosquitoes. We use four different datasets: An. arabiensis collected from Minepa, Tanzania (Minepa-ARA); An. gambiae collected from Muleba, Tanzania (Muleba-GA); An. gambiae collected from Burkina Faso (Burkina-GA); and An.gambiae from Muleba and Burkina Faso combined (Muleba-Burkina-GA). We train ANN models on datasets with spectra preprocessed according to previous protocols. We then use autoencoders to reduce the spectra feature dimensions from 1851 to 10 and re-train ANN models. Before the autoencoder was applied, ANN models estimated parity status of mosquitoes in Minepa-ARA, Muleba-GA, Burkina-GA and Muleba-Burkina-GA with out-of-sample accuracies of 81.9 ± 2.8% (N=927), 68.7 ± 4.8% (N=140), 80.3 ± 2.0% (N=158), and 75.7 ± 2.5% (N=298), respectively. With the autoencoder, ANN models tested on out-of-sample data achieved 97.1 ± 2.2%, (N=927), 89.8 ± 1.7% (N=140), 93.3 ± 1.2% (N=158), and 92.7 ± 1.8% (N=298) accuracies for Minepa-ARA, Muleba-GA, Burkina-GA, and Muleba-Burkina-GA, respectively.ConclusionThese results show that a combination of an autoencoder and an ANN trained on NIR spectra to estimate parity status of wild mosquitoes yields models that can be used as an alternative tool to estimate parity status of wild mosquitoes, especially since NIRS is a high-throughput, reagent-free, and simple-to-use technique compared to ovary dissections.
