This paper presents a novel method for the maximization of eigenfrequency gaps around external excitation frequencies by stacking sequence optimization in laminated structures. The proposed procedure enables the creation of an array of suggested lamination angles to avoid resonance for each excitation frequency within the considered range. The proposed optimization algorithm, which involves genetic algorithms, artificial neural networks, and iterative retraining of the networks using data obtained from tentative optimization loops, is accurate, robust, and significantly faster than typical genetic algorithm optimization in which the objective function values are calculated using the finite element method. The combined genetic algorithm–neural network procedure was successfully applied to problems related to the avoidance of vibration resonance, which is a major concern for every structure subjected to periodic external excitations. The presented examples illustrate a combined approach to avoiding resonance through the maximization of a frequency gap around external excitation frequencies complemented by the maximization of the fundamental natural frequency. The necessary changes in natural frequencies are caused only by appropriate changes in the lamination angles. The investigated structures are thin-walled, laminated one- or three-segment shells with different boundary conditions.

Abstract. The increasing incidence of groundwater pollution has led to recognition of a need to develop objective techniques for designing reniediation schemes. This paper outlines one such possibility for determining how many abstraction/injection wells are required, where they should be located etc., having regard to minimising the overall cost. To that end, an artificial neural network is used in association with a 2-D or 3-D groundwater simulation model to determine the performance of different combinations of abstraction/injection wells. Thereafter, a genetic algorithm is used to identify which of these combinations offers the least-cost solution to achieve the prescribed residual levels of pollutant within whatever timescale is specified. The resultant hybrid algorithm has been shown to be effective for a simplified but nevertheless representative problem; based on the results presented, it is expected the methodology developed will be equally applicable to large-scale, real-world situations.

Consumers have different ideas of what makes a design stylish. Some consumers may want a sporty looking car, while others may want a rugged looking or a fuel-efficient looking car. Can computers learn what it means to satisfy those style-based goals and use this knowledge to generate designs that target style-based goals in design? An experiment was conducted where participants were asked to rate computer generated car profiles for sportiness, ruggedness, beauty, and fuel efficiency. This survey data is used as an indicator of consumer stylistic form preferences, and was used to train Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for each of the four rating categories. The resulting ANNs were then inverted using a Genetic Algorithm (GA) in order to generate new designs that elicit targeted style goals from consumers.

 Acute Myeloid Leukimia (AML) is a type of cancer which attacks white blood cells from myeloid. AML subtypes M1, M2, and M3 are affected by the same type of cells called myeloblasts, so it needs more detailed analysis to classify.Momentum Backpropagation  is used to classified. In its application, optimal selection of architecture, learning rate, and momentum is still done by random trial. This is one of the disadvantage of Momentum Backpropagation. This study uses a genetic algorithm (GA) as an optimization method to get the best architecture, learning rate, and momentum of artificial neural network. Genetic algorithms are one of the optimization techniques that emulate the process of biological evolution.The dataset used in this study is numerical feature data resulting from the segmentation of white blood cell images taken from previous studies which has been done by Nurcahya Pradana Taufik Prakisya. Based on these data, an evaluation of the Momentum Backpropagation process was conducted the selection parameter in a random trial with the genetic algorithm. Furthermore, the comparison of accuracy values was carried out as an alternative to the ANN learning method that was able to provide more accurate values with the data used in this study.The results showed that training and testing with genetic algorithm optimization of ANN parameters resulted in an average memorization accuracy of 83.38% and validation accuracy of 94.3%. Whereas in other ways, training and testing with momentum backpropagation random trial resulted in an average memorization accuracy of 76.09% and validation accuracy of 88.22%.

This paper examines the correlation between numbers of computer cores in parallel genetic algorithms. The objective to determine the linear polynomial complementary equation in order represent the relation between number of parallel processing and optimum solutions. Model this relation as optimization function (f(x)) which able to produce many simulation results. F(x) performance is outperform genetic algorithms. Compression results between genetic algorithm and optimization function is done. Also the optimization function give model to speed up genetic algorithm. Optimization function is a complementary transformation which maps a TSP given to linear without changing the roots of the polynomials.

There are several challenges when modeling artificial intelligencemethods for autonomous players on games (bots). NEAT is one ofthe models that, combining genetic algorithms and neural networks,seek to describe a bot behavior more intelligently. In NEAT, a neuralnetwork is used for decision making, taking relevant inputs fromthe environment and giving real-time decisions. In a more abstractway, a genetic algorithm is applied for the learning step of the neuralnetworks’ weights, layers, and parameters. This paper proposes theuse of relative position as the input of the neural network, basedon the hypothesis that the bot profit will be improved.

The world of banking requires a marketer to be able to reduce the risk of borrowing by keeping his customers from occurring non-performing loans. One way to reduce this risk is by using data mining techniques. Data mining provides a powerful technique for finding meaningful and useful information from large amounts of data by way of classification. The classification algorithm that can be used to handle imbalance problems can use the Random Forest (RF) algorithm. However, several references state that an optimization algorithm is needed to improve the classification results of the RF algorithm. Optimization of the RF algorithm can be done using Bagging and Genetic Algorithm (GA). This study aims to classify Bank Marketing data in the form of loan application receipts, which data is taken from the www.data.world site. Classification is carried out using the RF algorithm to obtain a predictive model for loan application acceptance with optimal accuracy. This study will also compare the use of optimization in the RF algorithm with Bagging and Genetic Algorithms. Based on the tests that have been done, the results show that the most optimal performance of the classification of Bank Marketing data is by using the RF algorithm with an accuracy of 88.30%, AUC (+) of 0.500 and AUC (-) of 0.000. The optimization of Bagging and Genetic Algorithm has not been able to improve the performance of the RF algorithm for classification of Bank Marketing data.

Fuzzy measures and fuzzy integrals have been successfully used in many real applications. How to determine fuzzy measures is a very difficult problem in these applications. Though there have existed some methodologies for solving this problem, such as genetic algorithms, gradient descent algorithms, neural networks, and particle swarm algorithm, it is hard to say which one is more appropriate and more feasible. Each method has its advantages. Most of the existed works can only deal with the data consisting of classic numbers which may arise limitations in practical applications. It is not reasonable to assume that all data are real data before we elicit them from practical data. Sometimes, fuzzy data may exist, such as in pharmacological, financial and sociological applications. Thus, we make an attempt to determine a more generalized type of general fuzzy measures from fuzzy data by means of genetic algorithms and Choquet integrals. In this paper, we make the first effort to define theσ-λrules. Furthermore we define and characterize the Choquet integrals of interval-valued functions and fuzzy-number-valued functions based onσ-λrules. In addition, we design a special genetic algorithm to determine a type of general fuzzy measures from fuzzy data.

In this article, modified neural networks using genetic algorithms were employed to investigate the simultaneous effects of four of the most important parameters, namely; solution concentration (C); spinning distance (d); applied voltage (V); and volume flow rate (Q) on mean fiber diameter (MFD), as well as standard deviation of fiber diameter (StdFD) in electrospinning of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers. Genetic algorithm optimized neural networks (GANN) were used for modeling the electrospinning process. The results indicate better experimental conditions and more predictive ability of GANNs. Therefore, the approach of using genetic algorithms to optimize neural networks for modeling the electrospinning process has been successful. RSM could be employed when statistical analysis, quantitative study of the effects of the parameters and visualization of the response surfaces are of interest, whereas in the case of modeling the process and predicting new conditions, GANN is a more powerful tool and presents more desirable results.
