Water quality prediction plays an important role in environmental monitoring, ecosystem sustainability, and aquaculture. Traditional prediction methods cannot capture the nonlinear and non-stationarity of water quality well. In recent years, the rapid development of artificial neural networks (ANNs) has made them a hotspot in water quality prediction. We have conducted extensive investigation and analysis on ANN-based water quality prediction from three aspects, namely feedforward, recurrent, and hybrid architectures. Based on 151 papers published from 2008 to 2019, 23 types of water quality variables were highlighted. The variables were primarily collected by the sensor, followed by specialist experimental equipment, such as a UV-visible photometer, as there is no mature sensor for measurement at present. Five different output strategies, namely Univariate-Input-Itself-Output, Univariate-Input-Other-Output, Multivariate-Input-Other(multi), Multivariate-Input-Itself-Other-Output, and Multivariate-Input-Itself-Other (multi)-Output, are summarized. From results of the review, it can be concluded that the ANN models are capable of dealing with different modeling problems in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), groundwater, ponds, and streams. The results of many of the review articles are useful to researchers in prediction and similar fields. Several new architectures presented in the study, such as recurrent and hybrid structures, are able to improve the modeling quality of future development.

In this paper, the artificial neural network method was used for Electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern analysis. The analysis of the ECG can benefit from the wide availability of computing technology as far as features and performances as well. This paper presents some results achieved by carrying out the classification tasks by integrating the most common features of ECG analysis. Four types of ECG patterns were chosen from the MIT-BIH database to be recognized, including normal sinus rhythm, long term atrial fibrillation, sudden cardiac death and congestive heart failure. The R-R interval features were performed as the characteristic representation of the original ECG signals to be fed into the neural network models. Two types of artificial neural network models, SOM (Self- Organizing maps) and RBF (Radial Basis Function) networks were separately trained and tested for ECG pattern recognition and experimental results of the different models have been compared. The trade-off between the time consuming training of artificial neural networks and their performance is also explored. The Radial Basis Function network exhibited the best performance and reached an overall accuracy of 93% and the Kohonen Self- Organizing map network reached an overall accuracy of 87.5%.

The study examined the use of artificial neural network models to predict the exchange rate in Sudan through annual exchange rate data between the US dollar and the Sudanese pound. This study aimed to formulate the models of artificial neural networks in which the exchange rate can be predicted in the coming period. The importance of the study is that it is necessary to use modern models to predict instead of other classical models. The study hypothesized that the models of artificial neural networks have a high ability to predict the exchange rate. Use models of artificial neural networks. The most important results ability of artificial neural networks models to predict the exchange rate accurately, Form MLP (1-1-1) is the best model chosen for that purpose. The study recommended the development of the proposed model for long-term forecasting.
