The prognosis and management of machine health statuses are emerging research topics. In this study, the performance degradation of a wafer-handling robot arm (WHRA) was predicted using the proposed machine-learning approach. This method considers the eccentric vertical and planar position deviations from a wafer mark using a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. Synthesized position signals were defined using the square root of x- and y-axes deviations in the horizontal view and the square of the wafer mark diameter in the vertical view. A feature extraction method was used to determine the position status on the basis of these displacements and the area of a wafer mark in a CCD image. The root mean square error and mean, maximum, and minimum of the synthesized position signals were extracted through feature extraction and used for data mining by a general regression neural network (GRNN) and logistic regression (LR) models. The lifetime assessment by confidence value of the WHRA’s remaining useful life (RUL) by the genetic algorithm/GRNN exhibited nearly the same trend as that predicted through a run-to-failure LR model. The experimental results indicated that the proposed methodology can be used for proactive assessments of the RUL of WHRAs.

In command and control applications, feature extraction process is very important for good accuracy and less learning time. In order to deal with these metrics, we have proposed an automated combined speaker and speech recognition technique. In this paper five isolated words are recorded with four speakers, two males and two females. We have used the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC)  feature extraction method with Genetic Algorithm to optimize the extracted features and generate an appropriate feature set. In first phase, feature extraction using MFCC is executed following the feature optimization using Genetic Algorithm and in last & third phase, training is conducted using the Deep Neural Network. In the end, evaluation and validation of the proposed work model is done by setting real environment. To check the efficiency of the proposed work, we have calculated the parameters like accuracy, precision rate, recall rate, sensitivity and specificity..

The safety of water delivery and water quality in the South to North Water Transfer Project of China is important to northern China. Water quality data, flow data and data on factors that influence water quality were collected from 25 May to 26 August, 2013. These data were used to forecast water quality and calculate the relative error when using a genetic algorithm optimized general regression neural network (GA-GRNN) model as well as conventional general regression neural network (GRNN) and genetic algorithm optimized back propagation (GA-BP) models. The GA-GRNN method requires few network parameters and has good network stability, a high learning speed and strong approximation ability. The overall forecasted result of GA-GRNN is the best of three models, of which the root mean square error (RMSE) of every index is nearly the least among three models. The results reveal that the GA-GRNN model is efficient for water quality prediction under normal conditions and it can be used to ensure the security of water delivery and water quality in the South to North Water Transfer Project.

AbstractRailway freight transportation is an important part of the national economy. Accurate forecast of railway freight volume is significant to the planning, construction, operation, and decision making of railways. After analyzing the application status of generalized regression neural network (GRNN) in the prediction method of railway freight volume, this paper improves the performance of this model by using improved neural network. In the improved method, genetic algorithm (GA) is adopted to search the optimal spread, which is the only factor of GRNN, and then the optimal spread is used for forecasting in GRNN. In the process of railway freight volume forecasting, through this method, the increments of data are taken in the calculation process and the goal values are obtained after calculation as the forecasted results. Compared with the results of GRNN, a higher prediction accuracy is obtained through the GA-improved GRNN. Finally, the railway freight volumes in the next 2 years are forecasted based on this method.

Objective: The estimation accuracy of wind power is an important subject of concern for reliable grid operations and taking part in open access. So, with an objective to improve the wind power forecasting accuracy. Methods: This article presents Wavelet Transform (WT) based General Regression Neural Network (GRNN) with statistical time series input selection technique. Results: The results of the proposed model are compared with four different models namely naïve benchmark model, feed forward neural networks, recurrent neural networks and GRNN on the basis of Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) performance metric. Conclusion: The historical data used by the presented models has been collected from the Ontario Electricity Market for the year 2011 to 2015 and tested for a long time period of more than two years (28 months) from November 2012 to February 2015 with one month estimation moving window.
