We propose the design method for the VLSI architecture of FNNPDS combined PDS(partial distance search) and FNNS(fast nearest neighbor search), which are used to fast encoding in vector quantization, and obtain the results that FNNPDS(fast nearest neighbor partial distance search) is faster method than the conventional methods by simulation. In simulations, we investigate timing diagrams described searching time of the nearest codevector for an input vector, and compare the average clock cycles per input vector for Lena and Peppers images. According to the result of simulations, the number of the clock cycle of FNNPDS was reduced to $79.2\%\~11.7\%$ as compared with the number using the conventional techniques.

This paper presents to control speed of induction motors with uncertainties. We use an adaptive backstepping controller with fuzzy neural networks(FNNs) and model reference adaptive system(MRAS) at Indirect vector control method. The adaptive backstepping controller using FNNs can control speed of induction motors even we have a minimum of information. And this controller can be used to approximate most of uncertainties which are derived from unknown motor parameters, load torque such as disturbances. MRAS estimates to rotor resistance and also can find optimal flux to minimize power losses of Induction motor. Indirect vector PI current controller is used to keep rotor flux constant without measuring or estimating the rotor flux. Simulation and experiment results are verified the effectiveness of this proposed approach.

This paper presents and adaptive fuzzy controller using fuzzy neural networks(FNNs). The adaptive controller uses two FNNs. One FNN is used to identify a fuzzy model of controlled object. The other FNN is used as a fuzzy controller. The fuzzy controller is designed with the linguistic rules of the fuzzy model. The response of the designed control system is checked with a linguistic response analysis proposed by the authors. An adaptive tuning of the control rules of the FNN controller is made possible utilizing the fuzzy model. Simulations using nonlinear controlled objects were done to verify the proposed control system.

본 논문에서는 단일패턴과 다중패턴 학습이 가능한 FNNs(Feedforward Neural Networks)을 하드웨어로 구현하는데 필요한 학습방안을 제안한다. 제안된 학습방안은 기존의 하드웨어 구현에 이용되는 방식과는 전혀 다른 방식이며, 오히려 기존의 소프트웨어 학습방식과 유사하다. 기존의 하드웨어 구현에서 사용되는 방법은 오프라인 학습이나 단일패턴 온 칩(on-chip) 학습방식인데 반해, 제안된 학습방식은 단일/다중패턴은 칩 학습방식으로 다층 FNNs 회로와 학습회로 사이에 스위칭 회로를 넣어 구현되었으며, FNNs의 학습회로는 선형 시냅스 회로와 선형 곱셈기 회로를 사용하여MEBP(Modified Error Back-Propagation) 학습규칙을 구현하였다. 제안된 방식은 기존의 CMOS 공정으로 구현되었고 HSPICE 회로 시뮬레이터로 그 동작을 검증하였다 구현된 FNNs은 어떤 학습패턴 쌍에 의해 유일하게 결정되는 출력 전압을 생성한다. 제안된 학습방안은 향후 학습 가능한 대용량 신경망의 구현에 매우 적합하리라 예상된다.

In this paper, we introduce a category of Multi-FNN (Fuzzy-Neural Networks) models, analyze the underlying architectures and propose a comprehensive identification framework. The proposed Multi-FNNs dwell on a concept of fuzzy rule-based FNNs based on HCM clustering and evolutionary fuzzy granulation, and exploit linear inference being treated as a generic inference mechanism. By this nature, this FNN model is geared toward capturing relationships between information granules known as fuzzy sets. The form of the information granules themselves (in particular their distribution and a type of membership function) becomes an important design feature of the FNN model contributing to its structural as well as parametric optimization. The identification environment uses clustering techniques (Hard C - Means, HCM) and exploits genetic optimization as a vehicle of global optimization. The global optimization is augmented by more refined gradient-based learning mechanisms such as standard back-propagation. The HCM algorithm, whose role is to carry out preprocessing of the process data for system modeling, is utilized to determine the structure of Multi-FNNs. The detailed parameters of the Multi-FNN (such as apexes of membership functions, learning rates and momentum coefficients) are adjusted using genetic algorithms. An aggregate performance index with a weighting factor is proposed in order to achieve a sound balance between approximation and generalization (predictive) abilities of the model. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, two numeric data sets are experimented with. One is the numerical data coming from a description of a certain nonlinear function and the other is NOx emission process data from a gas turbine power plant.

This paper presents a unique study of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) for the maintenance decision making about a real life movable bridge. The mechanical components of movable bridges are maintained on a scheduled basis. However, it is desired to have a condition-based maintenance by taking advantage of SHM. The main objective is to track the operation of a gearbox and a rack-pinion/open gear assembly, which are critical parts of bascule type movable bridges. Maintenance needs that may lead to major damage to these components needs to be identified and diagnosed timely since an early detection of faults may help avoid unexpected bridge closures or costly repairs. The fault prediction of the gearbox and rack-pinion/open gear is carried out using two types of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs): 1) Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Networks (MLP-NNs) and 2) Fuzzy Neural Networks (FNNs). Monitoring data is collected during regular opening and closing of the bridge as well as during artificially induced reversible damage conditions. Several statistical parameters are extracted from the time-domain vibration signals as characteristic features to be fed to the ANNs for constructing the MLP-NNs and FNNs independently. The required training and testing sets are obtained by processing the acceleration data for both damaged and undamaged condition of the aforementioned mechanical components. The performances of the developed ANNs are first evaluated using unseen test sets. Second, the selected networks are used for long-term condition evaluation of the rack-pinion/open gear of the movable bridge. It is shown that the vibration monitoring data with selected statistical parameters and particular network architectures give successful results to predict the undamaged and damaged condition of the bridge. It is also observed that the MLP-NNs performed better than the FNNs in the presented case. The successful results indicate that ANNs are promising tools for maintenance monitoring of movable bridge components and it is also shown that the ANN results can be employed in simple approach for day-to-day operation and maintenance of movable bridges.

In this paper, pattern classifier is designed to classify precipitation and non-precipitation events from weather radar data. The proposed classifier is based on Fuzzy Neural Network(FNN) and consists of three FNNs which operate in parallel. In the proposed network, the connection weights of the consequent part of fuzzy rules are expressed as two polynomial types such as constant or linear polynomial function, and their coefficients are learned by using Least Square Estimation(LSE). In addition, parametric as well as structural factors of the proposed classifier are optimized through Differential Evolution(DE) algorithm. After event classification between precipitation and non-precipitation echo, non-precipitation event is to get rid of all echo, while precipitation event including non-precipitation echo is to get rid of non-precipitation echo by classifier that is also based on Fuzzy Neural Network. Weather radar data obtained from meteorological office is to analysis and discuss performance of the proposed event and echo patter classifier, result of echo pattern classifier compare to QC(Quality Control) data obtained from meteorological office.

In this paper, an optimal idenfication method using fuzzy-neural networks is proposed for modeling of nonlinear complex systems. The proposed fuzzy-neural modeling implements system structure and parameter identification using the intelligent schemes together wlth optimization theory, linguistic fuzzy implication rules, and neural networks(NNs) from input and output data of processes. Inference type for this fuzzy-neural modeling is presented as simplified inference. To obtain optimal model, the learning rates and momentum coefficients of fuzzy-neural networks(FNNs) are tuned automatically using improved modified complex method and modified learning algorithm. For the purpose of its application to nonlinear processes, data for route choice of traffic problems and those for activateti sluge process of sewage treatment system are used for the purpose of evaluating the performance of the proposed fuzzy-neural network modeling. The results show that the proposed method can produce the intelligence model with higher accuracy than other works achieved previously.
