Visual Cortex Stimulator is among artificial retina prosthesis for blind man, is the method that stimulate the brain cell directly without processing the information from retina to visual cortex. In this paper, we propose image construction and recognition model that is similar to human visual processing by recognizing the feature data with orientation information, that is, the characteristics of visual cortex. Back propagation algorithm based on Delta-bar delta is used to recognize after extracting image feature by Kirsh edge detector. Various numerical patterns are used to analyze the performance of proposed method. In experiment, the proposed recognition model to extract image characteristics with the orientation of information from retinal cells to visual cortex makes a little difference in a recognition rate but shows that it is not sensitive in a variety of learning rates similar to human vision system.

This paper proposed an automatic recognition system of shipping container identifiers using fuzzy-based noise removal method and ART2-based self-organizing supervised learning algorithm. Generally, identifiers of a shipping container have a feature that the color of characters is blacker white. Considering such a feature, in a container image, all areas excepting areas with black or white colors are regarded as noises, and areas of identifiers and noises are discriminated by using a fuzzy-based noise detection method. Areas of identifiers are extracted by applying the edge detection by Sobel masking operation and the vertical and horizontal block extraction in turn to the noise-removed image. Extracted areas are binarized by using the iteration binarization algorithm, and individual identifiers are extracted by applying 8-directional contour tacking method. This paper proposed an ART2-based self-organizing supervised learning algorithm for the identifier recognition, which improves the performance of learning by applying generalized delta learning and Delta-bar-Delta algorithm. Experiments using real images of shipping containers showed that the proposed identifier extraction method and the ART2-based self-organizing supervised learning algorithm are more improved compared with the methods previously proposed.

In this paper, fuzzy logic system equipped with the back-propagation training algorithm as identifiers for nonlinear dynamic systems is described. To improve its performance, Jacob's delta-bar -delta rule is adapted in adjusting stepsize ${\alpha}$, and only y and ${\alpha}$ updating algorithm is suggested. In identifying and predicting the chaotic time series, suggested method is better than Li-Xin Wang's method,[1]

In this paper, identifier for thermal storage system using multi-layer feedforward neural network (MFNN) is designed. It is very difficult to control thermal storage system, since thermal storage system is nonlinear and its time constant is very large. Thus, in the MFNN, delta-bar-delta algorithm for high running speed and 2-bit status input are used. Also hardware using microprocessor for identifier is developed. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method can predict temperature more accurately.

Heart Failure represents a critical pathological case that is challenging to predict and discover at an early age, with a notable increase in morbidity and mortality. Machine Learning and Neural Network techniques play a crucial role in predicting heart attacks, diseases and more. These techniques give valuable perspectives for clinicians who may then adjust their diagnosis for each individual patient. This paper evaluated neural network models for heart attacks predictions. Several online learning methods were investigated to automatically and accurately predict heart attacks. The UCI dataset was used in this work to train and evaluate First Order and Second Order Online Learning methods; namely Backpropagation, Delta bar Delta, Levenberg Marquardt and QuickProp learning methods. An optimizer technique was also used to minimize the random noise in the database. A regularization concept was employed to further improve the generalization of the model. Results show that a three layers' NN model with a Backpropagation algorithm and Nadam optimizer achieved a promising accuracy for the heart attach prediction tasks.

In this raper, an enhanced learning method is proposed for improving the learning speed of the error back propagation learning algorithm. In order to cope with the premature saturation phenomenon at the initial learning stage, a variation scheme of active functions is introduced by using higher order functions, which does not need much increase of computation load. It naturally changes the learning rate of inter-connection weights to a large value as the derivative of sigmoid function abnormally decrease to a small value during the learning epoch. Also, we suggest the hybrid learning method incorporated the proposed method with the momentum training algorithm. Computer simulation results show that the proposed learning algorithm outperforms the conventional methods such as momentum and delta-bar-delta algorithms.

본 논문에서는 ART2 기반 자가 생성 지도 학습 알고리즘을 이용한 운송 컨테이너 식별자 인식 시스템을 제안한다. 일반적으로 운송 컨테이너의 식별자들은 글자의 색이 검정색 또는 흰색으로 이루어져 있는 특징이 있다. 이러한 특성을 고려하여 원 컨테이너 영상에 대해 검은색과 흰색을 제외한 모든 부분을 잡음으로 처리하기 위해 퍼지를 이용한 잡은 판단 방법을 적용하여 식별자 영역과 잡음을 구별한다. 식별자 영역을 제외한 잡음 영역을 전체 영상의 평균 픽셀값으로 대체시킨다. 그리고 Sobel 마스크를 이용하여 에지를 검출하고, 추출된 에지를 이용하여 수직 블록과 수평 블록을 검출하여 컨테이너의 식별자 영역을 추출하고 이진화한다. 이진화된 식별자 영역에 대해 검정색의 빈도수를 이용하여 흰바탕과 민바탕을 구분하고 8방향 윤곽선 추적 알고리즘을 적용하여 개별 식별자를 추출한다. 개별 식별자 인식을 위해 ART2 기반 자가 생성 지도 학습 알고리즘은 입력층과 은닉층 사이에 ART2를 적용하여 은닉층의 노드를 생성하고, 은닉층과 출력층 사이에 일반화된 델타 학습 방법과 Delta-bar-Delta 알고리즘을 적용하여 학습 성능을 개선한다. 실제 컨테이너 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 기존의 식별자 추출 방법보다 제안된 식별자 추출 방법이 개선되었다. 그리고 기존의 식별자 인식 알고리즘보다 제안된 ART2 기반 자가 생성 지도 학습 알고리즘이 식별자의 학습 및 인식에 있어서 우수한 성능이 있음을 확인하였다.
