A new neural network architecture called the Parallel. Self-Organizing Hierarchical Neural Network (PSHNN) is presented. The new architecture involves a number of stages in which each stage can be a particular neural network (SNN). The experiments performed in comparison to multi-layered network with backpropagation training and indicated the superiority of the new architecture in the sense of classification accuracy, training time,parallelism.

In this study, we compared backpropagation neural network(BPNN) with probabilistic neural network(PNN) as shape recognition algorithm of welding flaws. For this purpose, variables are applied the same to two algorithm. Here, feature variable is composed of time domain signal itself and frequency domain signal itself, Through this process, we comfirmed advantages/disadvantages of two algorithms and identified application methods of two algorithms.

In this paper an induction motor control using fuzzy controller and neural network adptive observer is studied. The proposed observer which comprises neural network flux observer which comprises neural network flux observer and neural network torque observer is trained to learn the flux dynamics and torque dynamics and subjected to further on-line training by means of a backpropagation algorithem. Therefore it has been shown that the robust control of induction motor neglects the rotor time constant variations

Using a backpropagation neural network (BPNN), a high power semiconductor device was empirically modeled. The device modeled is a n-LDMOSFET and its electrical characteristics were measured with a HP4156A and a Tektronix curve tracer 370A. The drain-source current $(I_{DS})$ was measured over the drain-source voltage $(V_{DS})$ ranging between 1 V to 200 V at each gate-source voltage $(V_{GS}).$ For each $V_{GS},$ the BPNN was trained with 100 training data, and the trained model was tested with another 100 test data not pertaining to the training data. The prediction accuracy of each $V_{GS}$ model was optimized as a function of training factors, including training tolerance, number of hidden neurons, initial weight distribution, and two gradients of activation functions. Predictions from optimized models were highly consistent with actual measurements.

Medical diagnosis systems have been developed to make the knowledge and expertise of human experts more widely available, therefore achieving high-quality diagnosis. In this study, in order to support the diagnosis by the medical diagnosis system, we have preformed medical diagnosis inference three times: first by a neural network with the backpropagation algorithm, secondly by a discriminant analysis with all of the variables, and thirdly by a discriminant analysis with the selected variables. A discussion on comparison of these three methods has been provided.

A new technique is presented to construct a predictive model of plasma etch process. This was accomplished by combining a backpropagation neural network (BPNN) and a genetic algorithm (GA). The predictive model constructed in this way is referred to as a GA-BPNN. The GA played a role of controlling training factors simultaneously. The training factors to be optimized are the hidden neuron, training tolerance, initial weight magnitude, and two gradients of bipolar sigmoid and linear functions. Each etch response was optimized separately. The proposed scheme was evaluated with a set of experimental plasma etch data. The etch process was characterized by a $2^3$ full factorial experiment. The etch responses modeled are aluminum (A1) etch rate, silica profile angle, A1 selectivity, and dc bias. Additional test data were prepared to evaluate model appropriateness. The GA-BPNN was compared to a conventional BPNN. Compared to the BPNN, the GA-BPNN demonstrated an improvement of more than 20% for all etch responses. The improvement was significant in the case of A1 etch rate.

An artificial neural network model for the microwave characteristics of an InGaAs/InP hemt for 70 nm gate length has been developed. The small-signal microwave parameters have been evaluated to determine the transconductance and drain-conductance. We have further investigated the frequency characteristics of the device. The neural network training have been done using the three layer architecture using Levenberg-Marqaurdt Backpropagation algorithm. The results have been compared with the experimental data, which shows a close agreement and the validity of our proposed model.

Auto-Correlated time series (ATS) model was constructed by using the backpropagation neural network. The performance of ATS model was evaluated with sensor information collected from a large volume, industrial plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition system. A total of 18 sensor information were collected. The effect of inclusion of past and future information were examined. For all but three sensor information with a large data variance demonstrated a prediction error less than 4%. By integrating ATS model into equipment software, process quality can be more stringently monitored while improving device throughput.

Out of all metal-cutting processes, the hole-making process is the most widely used. It is estimated to be more than 30% of the total metal-cutting process. It is therefore desirable to monitor and detect drill wear during the hole-drilling process. In this paper, the vision system of the sensing methods of drill flank wear on the basis of image processing is used to detect the wear pattern by non-contact and direct method and get the reliable wear information about drill. In image processing of acquired image, median filter is applied for noise removal. The vision flank wear area of the drill was measured. Backpropagation neural networks (BPns) were used for no-line detection of drill 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, thrust and torque signals. The output was the drill wear state which was either usable or failure. Drilling experiments with various spindle rotational speed and feed rates were carried out. The learning process was peformed 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.

The color image of the rose was segmented by the cluster analysis on the color space into the characteristic sub-regions, the degree of bloom of the flower was represented numerically base on the segmented image and judged by the artificial neural network system whose input variable were the characteristic regions. Judgement by neural system were compared with that of the farmers and it was found that degree of agreement were fairly good.
