Multilayer perceptron network

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. 

The overall architecture of our proposed system begins with data acquisition of ECG signals, and then the identification of the QRS complex used for the feature extraction procedures. From the QRS waves, coefficients of the polynomial based approach are used as the unique extracted features. By using these coefficients, classification of the features are performed using Multilayer Perceptron Network and finally with this classification results, the identity of unknown attributes can be determined. The proposed model is summarised as in Fig. 1.

A neural network consists of many neurons organized into a structure called the network architecture. Although there are many possible network architectures, one of the most popular and successful is the multilayer perceptron (MLP) network. This consists of identical neurons all interconnected and organized in layers, with those in one layer connected to those in the next layer so that the outputs in one layer become the inputs in the subsequent...

Among the most wide-spread neural networks are feedforward networks, namely multilayer perceptron (MLP). This network type has been proven to be universal function approximators [11], Another important feature of MLP is the ability to generalization. Therefore MLP can be powerful tool for design of intrusion detection systems. 

We describe the intrusion detection system, which consists of two different neural networks. The first neural network is nonlinear PCA (principal component analysis) network, which permits to identify normal or anomalous system behavior. The second one is multilayer perceptron (MLP), which can recognize type of attack. 

The rest of the paper is organized as follows. The Section 2 describes attack classification and training data set. In the Section 3 the intrusion detection system is described, based on neural network approach. Section 4 presents the nonlinear PCA neural network and multilayer perceptron for identification and classification of computer network attack. In Section 5 the results of experiments are presented. Conclusion is given in Section 6. 

The neural network for identification is nonlinear PCA (NPCA) network [18]. As input data in this case, four features service, duration, src bytes, and dst bytes are used. The neural network for recognition is multilayer perceptron. In this case, all of the listed features above (Table 3) are used as input data. Such a system permits to identify and recognize the network attacks.

The characters are first normalized by rotating the original scanned image to correct for scanning error and by combinations of scaling under sampling and contrast and density adjustments of the scanned characters. In operation, the normalized characters are then presented to a multilayer perceptron neural network for recognition the network was trained on exemplars of characters form numerous serif and sans serif fonts to achieve font invariance. Where the output from the neural network indicates more than one option, for example 5 and s, the correct interpretation is determined from context. 

Usually complex structures with more than 15 layers are employed, called the multilayer perceptron (MLP). Some of the commercial programs which have been used to fit tableting parameters are INForm (Intelligensys, Billingham Teesside), CAD/Chem (AI Ware, Cleveland, OH), which is no longer commercially available, and the Neural Network Toolbox of MATLAB (MathWorks, Natick, MA). 

In the previous chapter a simple two-layer artificial neural network was illustrated. Such two-layer, feed-forward networks have an interesting history and are commonly called perceptrons. Similar networks with more than two layers are called multilayer perceptrons, often abbreviated as MLPs. In this chapter the development of perceptrons is sketched with a discussion of particular applications and limitations. Multilayer perceptron concepts are developed applications, limitations and extensions to other kinds of networks are discussed. 

There are literally dozens of kinds of neural network architectures in use. A simple taxonomy divides them into two types based on learning algorithms (supervised, unsupervised) and into subtypes based upon whether they are feed-forward or feedback type networks. In this chapter, two other commonly used architectures, radial basis functions and Kohonen self-organizing architectures, will be discussed. Additionally, variants of multilayer perceptrons that have enhanced statistical properties will be presented.
