River monitoring and predicting analysis for establishing pollutant loads management require numerous budgets and human resources. However, it is general that the number of government officials in charge of these tasks is few. Although the government has been commissioning a study related to river management to experts, it has been inevitable to avoid the consumption of a massive budget because the characteristics of pollutant loads present various patterns according to topographic of the watershed, such as topology like South Korea. To address this, previous studies have used conceptual and empirical models and have recently used artificial neural network models. The conceptual model has a shortcoming in which it required massive data and has vexatious that has to enforce the sensitivity and uncertain analysis. The empirical model and artificial neural network (ANN) need lower data than a conceptual model; however, these models have a flaw that could not reflect the topographical characteristic. To this end, this study has used a convolution neural network (CNN), one of the deep learning algorithms, to reflect the topographical characteristic and had estimated the pollutant loads of ungauged watersheds. The estimation results for the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total phosphorus (TP) loads for three ungauged watersheds were all excellent. However, prediction results with low accuracy were obtained when the hydrological images of a watershed with a land cover status different from the ungauged watersheds were used as training data for the CNN model.

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.

The purpose of this research is the evaluation of artificial neural network models in the prediction of stresses in a 400 MVA power transformer winding conductor caused by the circulation of fault currents. The models were compared considering the training, validation, and test data errors’ behavior. Different combinations of hyperparameters were analyzed based on the variation of architectures, optimizers, and activation functions. The data for the process was created from finite element simulations performed in the FEMM software. The design of the Artificial Neural Network was performed using the Keras framework. As a result, a model with one hidden layer was the best suited architecture for the problem at hand, with the optimizer Adam and the activation function ReLU. The final Artificial Neural Network model predictions were compared with the Finite Element Method results, showing good agreement but with a much shorter solution time.

Abstract This simulation study used actual SNP genotypes on the first chromosome of Brangus beef cattle to simulate 0.50 genetically correlated two traits with heritabilities of 0.25 and 0.50 determined either by 50, 100, 250 or 500 QTL and then aimed to compare the accuracies of genomic prediction from bivariate linear and artificial neural network with 1 to 10 neurons models based on G genomic relationship matrix. QTL effects of 50, 100, 250 and 500 SNPs from the 3361 SNPs of 719 animals were sampled from a bivariate normal distribution. In each QTL scenario, the breeding values (Σgijβj) of animal i for two traits were generated by using genotype (gij) of animal i at QTL j and the effects (βj) of QTL j from a bivariate normal distribution. Phenotypic values of animal i for traits were generated by adding residuals from a bivariate normal distribution to the breeding values of animal i. Genomic predictions for traits were carried out by bivariate Feed Forward MultiLayer Perceptron ANN-1–10 neurons and linear (GBLUP) models. Three sets of SNP panels were used for genomic prediction: only QTL genotypes (Panel1), all SNP markers, including the QTL (Panel2), and all SNP markers, excluding the QTL (Panel3). Correlations from 10-fold cross validation for traits were used to assess predictive ability of bivariate linear (GBLUP) and artificial neural network models based on 4 QTL scenarios with 3 Panels of SNP panels. Table 1 shows that the trait with high heritability (0.50) resulted in higher correlation than the trait with low heritability (0.25) in bivariate linear (GBLUP) and artificial neural network models. However, bivariate linear (GBLUP) model produced higher correlation than bivariate neural network. Panel1 performed the best correlations for all QTL scenarios, then Panel2 including QTL and SNP markers resulted in better prediction than Panel3.

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%.
