Studies on target motion in 4-dimensional radiotherapy are being world-widely conducted to enhance treatment record and protection of normal organs. Prediction of tumor motion might be very useful and/or essential for especially free-breathing system during radiation delivery such as respiratory gating system and tumor tracking system. Neural network is powerful to express a time series with nonlinearity because its prediction algorithm is not governed by statistic formula but finds a rule of data expression. This study intended to assess applicability of neural network method to predict tumor motion in 4-dimensional radiotherapy. Scaled Conjugate Gradient algorithm was employed as a learning algorithm. Considering reparation data for 10 patients, prediction by the neural network algorithms was compared with the measurement by the real-time position management (RPM) system. The results showed that the neural network algorithm has the excellent accuracy of maximum absolute error smaller than 3 mm, except for the cases in which the maximum amplitude of respiration is over the range of respiration used in the learning process of neural network. It indicates the insufficient learning of the neural network for extrapolation. The problem could be solved by acquiring a full range of respiration before learning procedure. Further works are programmed to verify a feasibility of practical application for 4-dimensional treatment system, including prediction performance according to various system latency and irregular patterns of respiration.

In The matching algorithm for automatic packaging of drugs is essential to determine whether the canister can exactly refill the suitable medicine. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical neural network with the upper and lower layers which can perform real-time processing and classification of many types of medicine bottles to prevent accidental medicine disaster. A few number of low-dimensional feature vector are extracted from the label images presenting medicine-bottle information. By using the extracted feature vectors, the lower layer of MLP(Multi-layer Perceptron) neural networks is learned. Then, the output of the learned middle layer of the MLP is used as the input to the upper layer of the MLP learning. The proposed hierarchical neural network shows good classification performance and real- time operation in the test of up to 30 degrees rotated to the left and right images of 100 different medicine bottles.

This presents a fault detecting method for a power transformer based upon a neural network. To maintain a normal relay operating conditions, external winding faults of a power transformer and magnetic inrush have been tested under consideration of the EMTP/ATP software and internal faults of power transformer have been tested by the EMTP/BCTRAN software. The neural network has been evaluated by the proposed fault. Input variables of the neural network for the proposed model can be obtained from fundamental currents, restraining and operating currents. This algorithm uses back-propagation and the ratio of a restraining current and an operating current as relay input parameters. The ratio may enhance the fault detection since the restraining currents increase rapidly at external faults. The proposed detecting method has been applied to the practical relay systems for transformer protection. As a result, the proposed detecting method based on the neural network has been shown to have better characteristics.

The intuitive understanding of the dynamic pattern generation in asymmetric networks may be useful for developing models of dynamic information processing. In this paper, dynamic behavior of the ring connection neural network in which each neuron is only to its nearest neurons with binary synaptic weights of ±1, has been inconnected vestigated Simulation results show that dynamic behavior of the network can be classified into only three categories: fixed points, limit cycles with basin and limit cycles with no basin. Furthermore, the number and the type of limit cycles generated by the networks have been derived through analytical method. The sufficient conditions for a state vector of n-neuron network to produce a limit cycle of n- or 2n-period are also given The results show that the estimated number of limit cycle is an exponential function of n. On the basis of this study, cyclic connection neural network may be capable of storing a large number of dynamic information.

This paper proposes a new parallel architecture for extracting the object from binarized images using recurrent linear threshold neural networks. Binary functions are initially obtained from the existing iterative thinning algorithms, and the linear threshold neural threshold neural networks are then synthesized using the MSP term grouping algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed architectures can be implemented easier than with other existing methods.

Recently, Extreme learning machine(ELM), a novel learning algorithm which is much faster than conventional gradient-based learning algorithm, was proposed for single-hidden-layer feedforward neural networks. The initial input weights and hidden biases of ELM are usually randomly chosen, and the output weights are analytically determined by using Moore-Penrose(MP) generalized inverse. But it has the difficulties to choose initial input weights and hidden biases. In this paper, an advanced method using the bacterial foraging algorithm to adjust the input weights and hidden biases is proposed. Experiment at results show that this method can achieve better performance for problems having higher dimension than others.

A position control algorithm of a flexible manipulator is studied. The proposed algorithm is based on an ACFAC(Automatic Constructed Fuzzy Adaptive Controller) system based on the neural network learning algorithms. The proposed system learns membership functions for input variables using unsupervised competitive learning algorithm and output information using supervised outstar learning algorithm. ACFAC does not need a dynamic modeling of the flexible manipulator. An ACFAC is designed that the end point of the flexible manipulator tracks the desired trajectory. The control input to the process is determined by error, velocity and variation of error. Simulation and experiment results show a robustness of ACFAC compared with the PID control and neural network algorithms.

In this paper, the recognition rate of isolated digits has been improved using the multiple neural networks combined with chaotic recurrent neural networks and MLP. Generally, the recognition rate has been increased from 1.2% to 2.5%. The experiments tell that the recognition rate is increased because MLP and CRNN(chaotic recurrent neural network) compensate for each other. Besides this, the chaotic dynamic properties have helped more in speech recognition. The best recognition rate is when the algorithm combined with MLP and chaotic multiple recurrent neural network has been used. However, in the respect of simple algorithm and reliability, the multiple neural networks combined with MLP and chaotic single recurrent neural networks have better properties. Largely, MLP has very good recognition rate in korean digits "il", "oh", while the chaotic recurrent neural network has best recognition in "young", "sam", "chil".

This paper presents an on-line learning algorithm for sequential construction of generalized radial basis function networks (GRBFNs) to model nonlinear systems from empirical data. The GRBFN, an extended from of standard radial basis function (RBF) networks with constant weights, is an architecture capable of representing nonlinear systems by smoothly integrating local linear models. The proposed learning algorithm has a two-stage learning scheme that performs both structure learning and parameter learning. The structure learning stage constructs the GRBFN model using two construction criteria, based on both training error criterion and Mahalanobis distance criterion, to assign new hidden units and the linear local models for given empirical training data. In the parameter learning stage the network parameters are updated using the gradient descent rule. To evaluate the modeling performance of the proposed algorithm, simulations and their results applied to two well-known benchmarks are discussed.
