Firstly, the damage patterns are defined based on dynamical calculation. The analysis of damage pattern reveals that the damage patterns caused by different damage locations have inherent distinctness, while the damage extent only linearly amplifies the damage pattern curves. And 4th, 6th and 7th order frequencies are canceled from the patterns because of their insensitiveness to cable damage. Then a MLP network is designed by trail-error method to describe the 7-D mapping space of damage pattern. Identification results prove that the properly organized MLP can grasp the damage pattern and identify the damage location.展开更多

Its top layer is a novel single layer temporal sequence recognizer called TS which can transform sparse temporal sequential pattern into abstract spatial feature representations. The bottom layer of TS-LM-SOFM, a modified self-organizing feature map, is used as a spatial feature detector. A learning matrix connects the two layers. Experiments show that the hybrid network can well capture the spatio-temporal features of input signals.展开更多

The measures of fuzziness are known as fuzzy information measures. The measure of a quantity of fuzzy information gained from a fuzzy set or fuzzy system is known as fuzzy entropy. Fuzzy entropy has been focused and studied by many researchers in various fields. In this paper, firstly, the axiomatic definition of fuzzy entropy is discussed. Then, neural networks model of fuzzy entropy is proposed, based on the computing capability of neural networks. In the end, two examples are discussed to show the efficiency of the model.展开更多

Every neuron in the network represents one pixel in the image and the network is locally connected. Each group of the neurons that correspond to each object synchronizes while different groups of the neurons oscillate at different period. Applying this period difference, different objects are divided. In addition to simulation, an analysis of the mechanism of the method is presented in this paper.展开更多

Pattern recognition is an important function of information processing in brain. Due to heterogeneous degree of scale-free network, different blurred ways have different influences on pattern recognition with same errors. Simulation shows that among partial recognition, the larger loading ratio （the number of patterns to average degree P/ （k） ） is, the smaller the overlap of SFHN is. The influence of directed （large） way is largest and the directed （small） way is smallest while random way is intermediate between them. Under the ratio of the numbers of stored patterns to the size of the network PIN is less than O. 1 conditions, there are three families curves of the overlap corresponding to directed （small）, random and directed （large） blurred ways of patterns and these curves are not associated with the size of network and the number of patterns. This phenomenon only occurs in the SFHN. These conclusions are benefit for understanding the relation between neural network structure and brain function.展开更多

The color images of wear debris were used as initial data. Each particle was characterized by a set of numerical parameters combined by its shape, color and surface texture features through a computer vision system. Those features were used as input vector of artificial neural network for wear debris identification. A radius basis function (RBF) network based model suitable for wear debris recognition was established, and its algorithm was presented in detail. Compared with traditional recognition methods, the RBF network model is faster in convergence, and higher in accuracy.展开更多
