Hybrid Artificial Neural Network

In this work, we developed a data-driven framework to predict near-surface (0–5 cm) soil moisture (SM) by mapping inputs from the Soil & Water Assessment Tool to SM time series from NASA’s Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite for the period 1 January 2016–31 December 2018. We developed a hybrid artificial neural network (ANN) combining long short-term memory and multilayer perceptron networks that were used to simultaneously incorporate dynamic weather and static spatial data into the training algorithm, respectively. We evaluated the generalizability of the hybrid ANN using training datasets comprising several watersheds with different environmental conditions, examined the effects of standard and physics-guided loss functions, and experimented with feature augmentation. Our model could estimate SM on par with the accuracy of SMAP. We demonstrated that the most critical learning of the physical processes governing SM variability was learned from meteorological time series, and that additional physical context supported model performance when test data were not fully encapsulated by the variability of the training data. Additionally, we found that when forecasting SM based on trends learned during the earlier training period, the models appreciated seasonal trends.

Bpnn Model

In this work artificial neural network with a back-propagation learning algorithm (BPNN) is employed to solve soil moisture retrieval for Sichuan Middle Hilly Area in China. Eighteen kinds of BPNN models have been developed using AMSR-E observations to retrieve soil moisture. The results show that the 18.7GHz band has some positive effect on improving soil moisture estimation accuracy while the 36.5GHz may interfere with deriving soil moisture, and vertical brightness temperature has a closer relationship with observed near-surface soil moisture than horizontal TB. The BPNN model driven by vertical and horizontal TB dataset at 6.9GHz and 10.7GHz frequency has the best performance of all the BPNN models withr value of 0.4968 and RMSE 10.2976%. Generally, the BPNN model is more suitable for soil moisture estimation than NASA product for the study area and can provide significant soil moisture information due to its ability of capturing non-linear and complex relationship.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals captured from brain activities demonstrate chaotic features, and can be simulated by nonlinear dynamic time series outputs of chaotic systems. This article presents the research work of chaotic system generator design based on artificial neural network (ANN), for studying the chaotic features of human brain dynamics. The ANN training performances of Nonlinear Auto-Regressive (NAR) model are evaluated for the generation and prediction of chaotic system time series outputs, based on varying the ANN architecture and the precision of the generated training data. The NAR model is trained in open loop form with 1,000 training samples generated using Lorenz system equations and the forward Euler method. The close loop NAR model is used for the generation and prediction of Lorenz chaotic time series outputs. The training results show that better training performance can be achieved by increasing the number of feedback delays and the number of hidden neurons, at the cost of increasing the computational load.

An artificial neural network (ANN) is an automatic way of capturing linear and nonlinear correlations, spatial and other structural dependence among features. This machine performs well in many application areas such as classification and prediction from magnetic resonance imaging, spatial data and computer vision tasks. Most commonly used ANNs assume the availability of large training data compared to the dimension of feature vector. However, in modern applications, as mentioned above, the training sample sizes are often low, and may be even lower than the dimension of feature vector. In this paper, we consider a single layer ANN classification model that is suitable for analyzing high-dimensional low sample-size (HDLSS) data. We investigate the theoretical properties of the sparse group lasso regularized neural network and show that under mild conditions, the classification risk converges to the optimal Bayes classifier’s risk (universal consistency). Moreover, we proposed a variation on the regularization term. A few examples in popular research fields are also provided to illustrate the theory and methods.

Hybrid Artificial Neural Network

Four distinct regimes were found existent (namely sliding bed, saltation, heterogeneous suspension and homogeneous suspension) in slurry flow in pipeline depending upon the average velocity of flow. In the literature, few numbers of correlations has been proposed for identification of these regimes in slurry pipelines. Regime identification is important for slurry pipeline design as they are the prerequisite to apply different pressure drop correlation in different regime. However, available correlations fail to predict the regime over a wide range of conditions. Based on a databank of around 800 measurements collected from the open literature, a method has been proposed to identify the regime using artificial neural network (ANN) modeling. The method incorporates hybrid artificial neural network and genetic algorithm technique (ANN-GA) for efficient tuning of ANN meta parameters. Statistical analysis showed that the proposed method has an average misclassification error of 0.03%. A comparison with selected correlations in the literature showed that the developed ANN-GA method noticeably improved prediction of regime over a wide range of operating conditions, physical properties, and pipe diameters.
