We propose a system for conducting an auction over locations in a continuous space. It enables participants to express their preferences over possible choices of location in the space, selecting the location that maximizes the total utility of all agents. We prevent agents from tricking the system into selecting a location that improves their individual utility at the expense of others by using a pricing rule that gives agents no incentive to misreport their true preferences. The system queries participants for their utility in many random locations, then trains a neural network to approximate the preference function of each participant. The parameters of these neural network models are transmitted and processed by the auction mechanism, which composes these into differentiable models that are optimized through gradient ascent to compute the final chosen location and charged prices.

Intelligent Decision Making

Decision-making process in manufacturing environment is increasingly difficult due to the rapid changes in design anddemand of quality products. To make decision making process online, effective and efficient artificial intelligent tools likeneural networks are being attempted. This paper proposes the development of neural network models for prediction ofweld quality in Submerged Arc Welding (SAW). Experiments are designed according to Taguchi’s principles andmathematical equations are developed using multiple regression model. Proposed neural network models are developedusing experimental data, supported with the data generated by regression model. The performances of the developedmodels are compared in terms of computational speed and prediction accuracy. It is found that Neural Network trainedwith Particle Swarm Optimization (NNPSO) performs better than Neural Network trained with Back Propagation (BPNN)algorithm, Radial Basis Functional Neural Network (RBFNN) and Neural Network trained with Genetic Algorithm(NNGA). The developed scheme for weld quality prediction is flexible, competent, and accurate than existing models andit scopes better online monitoring system. Finally the developed models are validated. The proposed and developedtechnique finds a good scope and a better future in the relevant field where human can avoid unwanted risks duringoperations with the deployment of robots.

Representational Model

Modeling higher order cognitive processes like human decision making come in three representational approaches namely symbolic, connectionist and symbolic-connectionist. Many connectionist neural network models are evolved over the decades for optimizing decision making behaviors and their agents are also in place. There had been attempts to implement symbolic structures within connectionist architectures with distributed representations. Our work was aimed at proposing an enhanced connectionist approach of optimizing the decisions within the framework of a symbolic cognitive model. The action selection module of this framework is forefront in evolving intelligent agents through a variety of soft computing models. As a continous effort, a Connectionist Cognitive Model (CCN) had been evolved by bringing a traditional symbolic cognitive process model proposed by LIDA as an inspiration to a feed forward neural network model for optimizing decion making behaviours in intelligent agents. Significanct progress was observed while comparing its performance with other varients.

Ground Penetrating

Bridges are aging and deteriorating. Thus, the development of Bridge Management Systems (BMSs) became imperative nowadays. Condition assessment is one of the most critical and vital components of BMSs. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is one of the non-destructive techniques (NDTs) that are used to evaluate the condition of bridge decks which are subjected to the rebar corrosion. The objective of the proposed method is to develop standardized amplitude scale for bridge decks based on a hybrid optimization-decision making model. Shuffled frog leaping algorithm is employed to compute the optimum thresholds. Then, polynomial regression and artificial neural network models are designed to predict the prioritizing index based on a set of multi-criteria decision-making methods. The weibull distribution is utilized to capture the stochastic nature of deterioration of concrete bridge decks. Lastly, a case study is presented to demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed method.
