An artificial neural network (ANN) that identifies radionuclides from low-count gamma spectra of a NaI scintillator is proposed. The ANN was trained and tested using simulated spectra. 14 target nuclides were considered corresponding to the requisite radionuclide library of a radionuclide identification device mentioned in IEC 62327-2017. The network shows an average identification accuracy of 98.63% on the validation dataset, with the gross counts in each spectrum N_c = 100~10000 and the signal to noise ratio SNR = 0.05-1. Most of the false predictions come from nuclides with low branching ratio and/or similar decay energies. If the N_c>1000 and SNR>0.3, which is defined as the minimum identifiable condition, the averaged identification accuracy is 99.87%. Even when the source and the detector are covered with lead bricks and the response function of the detector thus varies, the ANN which was trained using non-shielding spectra still shows high accuracy as long as the minimum identifiable condition is satisfied. Among all the considered nuclides, only the identification accuracy of ²³⁵U is seriously affected by the shielding. Identification of other nuclides shows high accuracy even the shielding condition is changed, which indicates that the ANN has good generalization performance.

This paper shows the application of artificial intelligence technique such as polynomial neural network in modeling and identification of sequencing batch reactor (SBR). A wastewater treatment process for nitrogen removal in the SBR is presented. Simulation results have shown that the nonlinear process can be modeled reasonably well by the Present scheme which is simple but efficient.

A major problem in automation of turning operation is the difficulty in obtaining a sufficient and reliable chip control. Therefore it becomes desirable to find a method which can detect the chip form. In this paper, a method of the identification of chip form using output of pyrometer and neural network technique is developed. An efficiency of developed method is examined by experiments in turning and the validity of it is confirmed.

Machine recognition of faces from still and video images is emerging as an active research area spanning several disciplines such as image processing, pattern recognition, computer vision and neural networks. In addition, human face identification has numerous applications such as human interface based systems and real-time video systems of surveillance and security. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that can identify a particular individual face. We consider human face identification system in color space, which hasn't often considered in conventional in conventional methods. In order to make the algorithm insensitive to luminance, we convert the conventional RGB coordinates into normalized CIE coordinates. The normalized-CIE-based facial images are KL-transformed. The transformed data are used as the input of multi-layered neural network and the network are trained using error-backpropagation methods. Finally, we verify the system performance of the proposed algorithm by experiments.

Semiconductor devices generate harmonics which induced bad effects against power distribution systems. To surpress harmonics, the filter design and the identification of harmonic load sources are needed. In this paper, artificial neural networks are used to identify the nonlinear relationship between harmonic loads and harmonic currents that vary at times. To find the best adequate network for solving this identification problem, we compared with recognition rates of neural networks by changing hidden layer neuron number.

This paper introduces an identification model called the Dynamic Neural Network(DNN) with a multilayer neural network in the forward path and a linear dynamical system in the feedback path, and defines Dynamic BackPropagation(DBP) as a learning algorithm for it. This identification model uses the feedback of its own output as a learning signal, which is not affected by a noise added to the output terminal of the plant so, it can be considered as a parallel identification model, and when compared with a series-parallel model which does not use the concept of the feedback, the proposed identification scheme exhibits more robust performance.

We propose a detection algorithm based on tree-structured convolutional neural networks (TsCNNs) that finds pornography, propaganda, or other inappropriate content on a social media network. The algorithm sequentially applies the typical convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm in a tree-like structure to minimize classification errors in similar classes, and thus improves accuracy. We implemented the detection system and conducted experiments on a data set comprised of 6 ordinary classes and 11 inappropriate classes collected from the Korean military social network. Each model of the proposed algorithm was trained, and the performance was then evaluated according to the images and videos identified. Experimental results with 20,005 new images showed that the overall accuracy in image identification achieved a high-performance level of 99.51%, and the effectiveness of the algorithm reduced identification errors by the typical CNN algorithm by 64.87 %. By reducing false alarms in video identification from the domain, the TsCNNs achieved optimal performance of 98.11% when using 10 minutes frame-sampling intervals. This indicates that classification through proper sampling contributes to the reduction of computational burden and false alarms.

Electro-mechanical impedance (EMI) technique is a low-cost structural damage detection method. It reflects structural damage through the change in admittance signal which contains the structural mechanical impedance information. The ambient temperature greatly affects the admittance signal, which hides the changes caused by structural damage and reduces the accuracy of damage identification. This study introduces a convolutional neural network to compensate for the temperature effect. The proposed method uses a framework that consists of a feature extraction network and a decoding network, and the original admittance signal with temperature information is used as the input. The output admittance signal is eliminated from the temperature effect, improving damage identification robustness. The admittance data simulated by the finite element model of the spatial grid structure is used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method has advantages in identification accuracy compared with the damage index minimization method and the principal component analysis method.

Two-phase flow may almost exist in every branch of the energy industry. For the corresponding engineering design, it is very essential and crucial to monitor flow patterns and their transitions accurately. With the high-speed development and success of deep learning based on convolutional neural network (CNN), the study of flow pattern identification recently almost focused on this methodology. Additionally, the photographing technique has attractive implementation features as well, since it is normally considerably less expensive than other techniques. The development of such a two-phase flow pattern online monitoring system is the objective of this work, which seldom studied before. The ongoing preliminary engineering design (including hardware and software) of the system are introduced. The flow pattern identification method based on CNNs and transfer learning was discussed in detail. Several potential CNN candidates such as ALexNet, VggNet16 and ResNets were introduced and compared with each other based on a flow pattern dataset. According to the results, ResNet50 is the most promising CNN network for the system owing to its high precision, fast classification and strong robustness. This work can be a reference for the online monitoring system design in the energy system.
