A neural network-based data analysis model for the prediction and classification of field data has many attractions. However, there are problems in ensuring the generalisation capability of the data analysis model, in measuring the similarity between the original training data and the new unknown data and in processing large data volumes. This paper reports the use of self-organising maps (SOM) to overcome these difficulties and illustrates the utilisation of this approach though applications in the agricultural, resource exploration and mineral processing areas.

Knowledge discovery from databases (KDD) in biology largely depends on the use of accurate computer models of biological processes. KDD applications in immunology include the discovery of vaccine targets and new functional relations within the immune system. We describe a process of development and refinement of artificial neural network models of the human HLA-DR1 molecule, useful for the discovery of peptide vaccines. High accuracy of these models was achieved by data cleansing techniques and by cyclical retraining using new data.

A single framework is shown to encompass several existing learning rules, separating them into positive and negative terms, respectively corresponding to long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) phenomena. Each term is expressed as an integral of a Hebbian product over time, modulated by a kernel function. Carefully chosen kernel functions are shown to exhibit computational properties of temporal contrast enhancement and prediction. Some preliminary simulation results are presented for illustration purposes.

Proposes a computational handwriting model based on the optimization principle. The computational theory, the representation level and the hardware involved are the minimum commanded torque-change criterion, a set of via-points extracted from handwritten characters and a forward-inverse-relaxation neural network model, respectively. However, for via-point representation in the model, both timing and spatial information are needed. In this paper, we propose a new model in which the time passing through via-points is estimated by optimizing the criterion. The model is studied theoretically, and it is shown that the trajectory generated by the model is the same as the data obtained from human subjects in experiments.

Neuro-fuzzy classification approaches aim at creating fuzzy classification rules from data by using learning techniques derived from neural networks. NEFCLASS is able to learn fuzzy rules and fuzzy sets by simple heuristics. The aim of NEFCLASS is to quickly create interpretable fuzzy classifiers. Most neuro-fuzzy approaches can only deal with numerical attributes and cannot handle missing values. The authors present recent advances in the learning algorithms of NEFCLASS that address those problems.

The paper describes an indoor autonomous vision based obstacle avoidance robot system. The vision part of the system converts forward looking greyscale camera images into edge images using Canny edge detection. Both edge image and sonar ranging information is used as stimuli by the behaviours that make up the reactive part of the system. These behaviours all run concurrently and they couple perception to actions to generate motor responses. A priority based subsumption coordinator selects the most appropriate response to direct the robot away from obstacles.

A unified approach for integrating explicit and implicit knowledge in connectionist expert systems is proposed. The explicit knowledge is represented by discrete fuzzy rules, which are directly mapped into an equivalent multi-purpose neural network based on the MAPI neuron (A.F. Rocha et al., 1992). The learning result is a refinement process of data sets, which is represented in a module (or combination of modules) of classical feedforward structures incorporating implicit fuzzy rules. The combination of explicit and implicit knowledge modules is viewed as an iterative process in knowledge acquisition and refinement.

Investigates the dynamic range compression and contrast enhancement properties of shunting inhibition cellular neural networks (SICNN) used for colour image enhancement. First, the SICNN is formulated according to its structure and then the formulation is expressed in a digital format so that simulations can be performed. The resulting digital SICNN is then applied to a 1D ramp function to study its behaviour as compared to the logarithm of the function. Then, the SICNN is applied to colour images; the results show that, besides performing contrast enhancement, the SICNN also improves the colour constancy of the images as well as their sharpness.

A method of extracting rules from a rotation-invariant neural pattern recognition system formed using a genetic algorithm (GA) is presented. In particular, deterministic mutation (DM) is utilized to improve its convergence properties. It is performed on the basis of the result of neural network structure learning. DM can evolve chromosomes of individuals to increase their fitness functions in a deterministic manner. In this paper, coin data are used as inputs. The coins used are a Japanese 500-yen coin and a South Korean 500-won coin, which are very similar. GA is utilized to reduce the number of connection weights in the neural network. The network weights surviving after training represent rules to perform pattern classification for the coin data. The rules are then extracted from the network. Furthermore, the network has a procedure to substitute signum units for hidden sigmoid ones in examining its recognition accuracy. It enables us to easily extract rules. Simulation results show that this approach can generate a simple network structure and, as a result, simple rules for coin data classification.

We present a novel method-filter decomposition approach, for multichannel blind deconvolution of non-minimum phase systems. In earlier work we developed an efficient natural gradient algorithm for causal FIR filters. In this paper we further study the natural gradient method for noncausal filters. We decompose the doubly finite filters into a product of two filters, a noncausal FIR filter and a causal FIR filter. The natural gradient algorithm is employed to train the causal FIR filter, and a novel information backpropagation algorithm is developed for training the noncausal FIR filter. Simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness and validity of the algorithm.
