Identifying the functional roles of elements of a neural network is one of the first challenges in understanding neural information processing. Aiming at this goal, lesion studies have been used in neuroscience, most of which employing single lesions and hence, limited in their ability to reveal...

The FIRST survey (Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-cm) is scheduled to cover 10,000 square degrees of the northern and southern galactic caps. Until recently, astronomers classified radio-emitting galaxies through a visual inspection of FIRST images. Besides being subjective, prone to...

An alternative model to class conditional probability estimation for classification problems is introduced. The model assumes a deterministic mapping between input space and the set of classes, training data consists of probability distributions of the classes at the measurements points. A...

It is well known that multilayer neural networks with generalized delta rule (GDR) can map any arbitrary functions. The relationship between statistical linear regression and network learning has been attributed to the principal components which can be extracted from the input patterns along....

Automated incident detection is an essential component of a modern freeway traffic monitoring system. A number of neural network-based incident detection models have been tested independently over the past decade. This paper evaluates the adaptability of three promising neural network models for...

This paper presents an algorithm of playing game tic-tac-toe. This algorithm is learned by a modified neural network (NN), which is trained by an improved genetic algorithm (GA). In the proposed NN, the neuron has two activation transfer functions and exhibits a node-to-node relationship in the...

A multilayer neural network with one hidden layer and with 1 hidden layer neurons can exactly implement an arbitrary training set with training patterns. It is only sufficient and not necessary to use -1 hidden neurons. For a particular training set, this number can be reduced. Here, monotone...

Nitrendipine is an effective and safe calcium channel blocker for the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension. The aim of this work is to show that a model of a relation between nitrendipine plasma levels and pharmacodynamic effects can be composed and used for pressure drop prediction after...

It is well-known that abstract neurons of the McCulloch-Pitts type compute input-output functions that are formally equivalent to suitably defined Boolean functions. Boolean functions, in turn, can be classified (up to isomorphism of underlying logical structure) into a limited number of basic...

In this paper we propose a neural network architecture that is capable of continuous learning multiple, possibly overlapping, arbitrary input sequences relatively quickly, autonomously and online. The architecture of this network has been constructed according to design principles derived from...
