GA-based approaches have optimized the production of many different types of models (artificial neural network architectures in particular) and simultaneously selected variables and optimized neural network mod-els. ° ° GAs coupled with well-known and less well-known modeling methods have also been used by scientists in variable selection. The combination of a GA with multiple linear regression was shown to perform well on datasets containing 15, 26, and 35 descriptors. PLS coupled with a GA has also been shown to be useful in variable selection. Spline fitting...

Since biological systems can reasonably cope with some of these problems, the intuition behind neural nets is that computing systems based on the architecture of the brain can better emulate human cognitive behavior than systems based on symbol manipulation. Unfortunately, the processing characteristics of the brain are as yet incompletely understood. Consequendy, computational systems based on brain architecture are highly simplified models of thek biological analogues. To make this distinction clear, neural nets are often referred to as artificial neural networks.

Not all neural networks are the same their connections, elemental functions, training methods and applications may differ in significant ways. The types of elements in a network and the connections between them are referred to as the network architecture. Commonly used elements in artificial neural networks will be presented in Chapter 2. The multilayer perception, one of the most commonly used architectures, is described in Chapter 3. Other architectures, such as radial basis function networks and self organizing maps (SOM) or Kohonen architectures, will be described in Chapter 4. 

Application of artificial neural networks (ANN) for modelling of the kinetics of a catalytic hydrogenation reaction in a gas-liquid-solid system has been studied and discussed. The kinetics of the hydrogenation of 2,4-DNT over a palladium on alumina catalyst has been described with feedforward neural networks of dififerent architectures. A simple experimental procedure to supply learning data has been proposed. The accuracy and flexibility of the hybrid first principles-neural network model have been tested and compared with those of the classical model. 

The artificial neural network (ANN) based prediction model utilized in the present study is the multilayer perceptrons (MLPs). It is adopted as the benchmark to compare with the time-varying statistical models since it has been shown that the MLP architecture could approximate... 

Neural network models in artificial intelligence definitions are usually referred to as artificial neural networks (ANNs) these are essentially simple mathematical models defining a function or a distribution over or both and, but sometimes models are also intimately associated with a particular learning algorithm or learning rule. A common use of the phrase ANN model really means the definition of a class of such functions (where members of the class are obtained by varying parameters, connection weights, or specifics of the architecture such as the number of neurons or their connectivity). 

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are a non-linear function mapping technique that was initially developed to imitate the brain from both a structural and computational perspective. Its parallel architecture is primarily responsible for its computational power. The multilayer perceptron network architecture is probably the most popular and is used here.

Model based control schemes such as model predictive control are highly related to the accuracy of the process model. A regional-knowledge index is proposed in this study and applied in the analysis of dynamic artificial neural network models in process control. To tackle the extrapolation problem and assure stability of the control system, we propose to run a neural adaptive controller in parallel with a model predictive control. A coordinator weights the outputs of these two controllers to make the final control decision. The proposed analysis method and the modified model predictive control architecture have been applied to a neutralization process and excellent control performance is observed in this highly nonlinear system.
