The damping parameter of Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm switches between error backpropagation and Gauss-Newton learning and affects learning speed. Fixing the damping parameter induces some oscillation of error and decreases learning speed. Therefore, we propose the way of a variable damping parameter with referring to the alternation of error. The proposed method makes the damping parameter increase if error rate is large and makes it decrease if error rate is small. This method so plays the role of momentum that it can improve learning speed. We tested both iris recognition and wine recognition for this paper. We found out that this method improved learning speed in 67% cases on iris recognition and in 78% cases on wine recognition. It was also showed that the oscillation of error by the proposed way was less than those of other algorithms.

This paper is based on a simple approach that the most efficient learning of a multi-layered network is the process of finding the optimal set of weight vectors. To overcome the disadvantages of general learning problems, the proposed model uses a combination of features of EBP and OVSSA. In other words, the proposed method can construct a single model by taking advantage of each algorithm so that it can escape to the probability theory of OVSSA in order to reinforce the property that EBP falls into local minimum value. In the proposed algorithm, methods for reducing errors in EBP are used as energy functions and the energy is minimized to OVSSA. A simple experimental result confirms that two algorithms with different properties can be combined.

In this paper, we propose a method for nonlinear grapheme segmentation in Korean printed character type classification. The characters are subdivided into six types based on character type information. The feature vector is consist of mesh features, vertical projection features and horizontal projection features which are extracted from gray-level images. We classify characters into 6 types using Back propagation. Character segmentation regions are determined based on character type information. Then, an optimal nonlinear grapheme segmentation path is found using multi-stage graph search algorithm. As the result, a proposed methodology is proper to classify character type and to find nonlinear char segmentation paths.

In this paper, we propose an effective method that recognizes the vehicle license plate using RGB color information and back-propagation neural network algorithm. First, the image of the vehicle license plate is adjusted by the Mean of Blue values in the vehicle plate and two candidate areas of Red and Green region are classified by calculating the differences of pixel values and the final Green area is searched by back-propagation algorithm. Second, our method detects the area of the vehicle plate using the frequence of the horizontal and the vertical histogram. Finally, each of codes are detected by an edge detection algorithm and are recognized by error back-propagation algorithm. In order to evaluate the performance of our proposed extraction and recognition method, we have run experiments on a new car plates. Experimental results showed that the proposed license plate extraction is better than that of existing HSI information model and the overall recognition was effective.

Monitoring of the drill wear :md hole quality change is conducted during the drilling process. Cutting force measured by tool dynamometer is a evident feature estimating abnormal state of drilling. One major difficulty in using tool dynamometer is that the work-piece must be mounted on the dynamometer, and thus the machining process is disturbed and discontinuous. Acoustic transducer do not disturb the normal machining process and provide a relatively easy way to monitor a machining process for industrial application. for this advantage, AE signal is used to estimate the abnormal fate. In this study vision system is used to detect flank wear tendency and hole quality, there are many formal factors in hole quality decision circularity, cylindricity, straightness, and so of but these are difficult to measure in on-line monitoring. The movement of hole center and increasement of hole diameter is presented to determine hole quality. As the results of this experiment AE RMS signal and measurements by vision system are shorn the similar tendency as abnormal state of drilling.

The cutting characteristics of hardened steel by a PCBN tool is investigated with respect to workpiece surface roughness, cutting force and tool flank wear of the vision system. Backpropagation neural networks (BPNs) were used for detection of tool wear. The neural network consisted of three layers: input, hidden and output. The input vectors comprised of spindle rotational speed, feed rates, vision flank wear, and thrust force signals. The output was the tool wear state which was either usable or failure. Hard turning experiments with various spindle rotational speed and feed rates were carried out. The learning process was performed effectively by utilizing backpropagation. The detection of the abnormal states using BPNs achieved 96.4% reliability even when the spindle rotational speed and feedrate were changed.

This paper proposes a novel recognition model, a recurrent fuzzy associative memory(RFAM), for recognizing time-series patterns contained an ambiguity. RFAM is basically extended from FAM(Fuzzy Associative memory) by adding a recurrent layer which can be used to deal with sequential input patterns and to characterize their temporal relations. RFAM provides a Hebbian-style learning method which establishes the degree of association between input and output. The error back-propagation algorithm is also adopted to train the weights of the recurrent layer of RFAM. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, we applied it to a word boundary detection problem of speech signal.

MLP(multilayer perceptron)는 다른 패턴인식 방법에 비해 몇 가지 이점이 있어 다양한 문제영역에서 사용되고 있다 그러나 MLP의 학습에 일반적으로 사용되는 EBP(error backpropagation) 알고리즘은 학습시간이 비교적 오래 걸린다는 단점이 있으며, 이는 실시간 처리를 요구하는 문제나 대규모 데이터 및 MLP 구조로 인해 학습시간이 상당히 긴 문제에서 제약으로 작용한다. 패턴인식에 사용되는 학습데이터는 풍부한 중복특성을 내포하고 있으므로 패턴마다 MLP의 내부변수를 갱신하는 은라인 계열의 학습방식이 속도의 향상에 상당한 효과가 있다. 일반적인 온라인 EBP 알고리즘에서는 내부 가중치 갱신시 고정된 학습률을 적용한다. 고정 학습률을 적절히 선택함으로써 패턴인식 응용에서 상당한 속도개선을 얻을 수 있지만, 학습률을 고정함으로써 온라인 방식에서 패턴별 갱신의 특성을 완전히 활용하지 못하는 비효율성이 발생한다. 또한, 학습도중 패턴군이 학습된 패턴과 그렇지 못한 패턴으로 나뉘고 이 가운데 학습된 패턴은 학습을 위한 계산에 포함될 필요가 없음에도 불구하고, 기존의 온라인 EBP에서는 에폭에 할당된 모든 패턴을 일률적으로 계산에 포함시킨다. 이 문제에 대해 본 논문에서는 학습이 진행됨에 따라 패턴마다 적절한 학습률을 적용하고 필요한 패턴만을 학습에 반영하는 패턴별 가변학습률 및 학습생략(COIL) 방댑을 제안한다. 제안한 COIL의 성능을 입증하기 위해 화자증명과 음성인식을 실험하고 그 결과를 제시한다.

This paper suggests a systematic methodology to predict chip forms using the experimental design technique and the neural network. Significant factors determined with ANOVA analysis are used as input variables of the neural network back-propagation algorithm. It has been shown that cutting conditions and cutting tool shapes have distinct effects on the chip forms, so chip breaking. Cutting tools are represented using the Z-map method, which differs from existing methods using some chip breaker parameters. After training the neural network with selected input variables, chip forms are predicted and compared with original chip forms obtained from experiments under same input conditions, showing that chip forms are same at all conditions. To verify the suggested model, one tool not used in training the model is chosen and input to the model. Under various cutting conditions, predicted chip forms agree well with those obtained from cutting experiments. The suggested method could reduce the cost and time significantly in designing cutting tools as well as replacing the“trial-and-error”design method.
