Figure 13 A two-layer neural network to solve the discriminant problem illustated in Figure 12. The weighting coefficients are shown adjacent to each connection and the threshold or bias for each neuron is given above each unit...

Figure 18 A neural network, comprising an input layer (I), a hidden layer (H), and an output layer (O). This is capable of correctly classifying the analytical data from Table 1. The required weighting coefficients are shown on each connection and the bias values for a sigmoidal threshold function are shown above each neuron...

The basic feedforward neural network performs a non-linear transformation of the input data in order to approximate the output data. This net is composed of many simple, locally interacting, computational elements (nodes/neurons), where each node works as a simple processor. The schematic diagram of a single neuron is shown in Fig 1. The input to each i-th neuron consists of a A-dimensional vector X and a single bias (threshold) bj. Each of the input signals Xj is weighted by the appropiate weight Wij, where] = 1- N.

In order to describe the nonlinear stress-strain relations of the marine soft soil, a single hidden layer BP model was setup with the use of neural network technology. For the model, the input values are bias stress, confining pressure and time, the output value is the strain. Therefore, nodes of the input layer is 3, the number of nodes of the output layer is 1. The number of hidden layer units ranging from 5 to 25, and it need to be determined based on the training and fitting results. The neurons in the hidden layer is a sigmoid transform function, the neurons of the... 

The multilayer neural network is made up of simple components. A singlelayer network of neurons having numbers of neutron S, with multiple inputs R, is shown in Figure 12.32. Each scalar input p (i = 1,... R) is multiplied by the scalar weight Wi to form Wf) which is sent to the summer. The other input, 1, is multiplied by a bias bj j = 1,... S) and is then passed to the summer. The summer output, often referred to as the net input, goes into a transfer function, which produces the scalar neuron output a j, or in matrix form ...
