This paper presents an approach to Mongolian car plate recognition using artificial neural network. Our proposed method consists of two steps: detection and recognition. In detection step, we implement Flood fill algorithm. In recognition step we proceed to segment the plate for each Cyrillic character, and use an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) machine - learning algorithm to recognize the character. We have learned the theory of ANN and implemented it without using any library. A total of 150 vehicles images obtained from community entrance gates have been tested. The recognition algorithm shows an accuracy rate of 89.75%.

선박의 접안운동을 자동화하기 위하여 인공신경망(Artificial Neural Network, 이하 ANN)에 의한 제어를 수행하였다. ANN은 시스템의 비선형성이 표현 가능하므로 접안운동과 같은 비선형성이 강한 조종운동에 적합하다. 입력층과 출력층 사이에 하나 이상의 중간층이 존재하는 다층 인식자(Multi-layer perceptron)를 사용하였고, 교사 데이터(Teaching data)와 역전파(Back-Propagation) 알고리즘을 사용하여 신경망의 출력값과 목표 출력값 사이의 오차가 최소가 되도록 신경망 학습을 수행하였다. 접안 시 저속조종 수학모델을 사용하여 접안 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, ANN의 입력층 성분(unit)이 8개인 구조와 6개인 구조의 접안 제어를 비교하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 두 ANN에 의하여 접안 경로 선택에 차이가 나타났으나 접안 조건은 모두 만족하였다.

Artificial neural network(ANN) models have been widely used for the classification problems in business such as bankruptcy prediction, credit evaluation, etc. Although the application of ANN to classification of consumers＇ choice behavior is a promising research area, there have been only a few researches. In general, most of the researches have reported that the classification performance of the ANN models were better than conventional statistical model Because the survey data on consumer behavior may include much noise and missing data, ANN model will be more robust than conventional statistical models welch need various assumptions. The purpose of this paper is to study the potential of the ANN model for forecasting consumers＇ choice behavior based on survey data. The data was collected by questionnaires to the shoppers of department stores and discount stores. Then the correct classification rates of the ANN models for the training and test sample with that of multiple discriminant analysis(MDA) and logistic regression(Logit) model. The performance of the ANN models were betted than the performance of the MDA and Logit model with respect to correct classification rate. By using input variables identified as significant in the stepwise MDA, the performance of the ANN models were improved.

This study proposed a robust artificial intelligence (AI) model based on the social behaviour of the imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) and artificial neural network (ANN) for modelling the deflection of reinforced concrete beams, abbreviated as ICA-ANN model. Accordingly, the ICA was used to adjust and optimize the parameters of an ANN model (i.e., weights and biases) aiming to improve the accuracy of the ANN model in modelling the deflection reinforced concrete beams. A total of 120 experimental datasets of reinforced concrete beams were employed for this aim. Therein, applied load, tensile reinforcement strength and the reinforcement percentage were used to simulate the deflection of reinforced concrete beams. Besides, five other AI models, such as ANN, SVM (support vector machine), GLMNET (lasso and elastic-net regularized generalized linear models), CART (classification and regression tree) and KNN (k-nearest neighbours), were also used for the comprehensive assessment of the proposed model (i.e., ICA-ANN). The comparison of the derived results with the experimental findings demonstrates that among the developed models the ICA-ANN model is that can approximate the reinforced concrete beams deflection in a more reliable and robust manner.

본 연구에서는 일 증발접시 증발량 산정을 위한 딥러닝 (deep learning) 모형의 적용성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 적용된 딥러닝 모형은 deep belief network (DBN) 기반 deep neural network (DNN) (DBN-DNN) 모형이다. 모형 적용성 평가를 위하여 부산 관측소에서 측정된 기상자료를 활용하였으며, 증발량과의 상관성이 높은 기상변수들 (일사량, 일조시간, 평균지상온도, 최대기온)의 조합을 고려하여 입력변수집합 (Set 1, Set 2, Set 3)별 모형을 구축하였다. DBN-DNN 모형의 성능은 통계학적 모형성능 평가지표 (coefficient of efficiency, CE; coefficient of determination, $r^2$; root mean square error, RMSE; mean absolute error, MAE)를 이용하여 평가되었으며, 기존의 두가지 형태의 ANN (artificial neural network), 즉 모형학습 시 SGD (stochastic gradient descent) 및 GD (gradient descent)를 각각 적용한 ANN-SGD 및 ANN-GD 모형과 비교하였다. 효과적인 모형학습을 위하여 각 모형의 초매개변수들은 GA (genetic algorithm)를 이용하여 최적화하였다. 그 결과, Set 1에 대하여 ANN-GD1 모형, Set 2에 대하여 DBN-DNN2 모형, Set 3에 대하여 DBN-DNN3 모형이 가장 우수한 모형 성능을 나타내는 것으로 분석되었다. 비록 비교 모형들 사이의 모형성능이 큰 차이를 보이지는 않았으나, 모든 입력집합에 대하여 DBN-DNN3, DBN-DNN2, ANN-SGD3 순으로 모형 효율성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

In the present study an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used to predict the compressive strength of self-compacting concrete. The data developed experimentally for self-compacting concrete and the data sets of a total of 99 concrete samples were used in this work. ANN's are considered as nonlinear statistical data modeling tools where complex relationships between inputs and outputs are modeled or patterns are found. In the present ANN model, eight input parameters are used to predict the compressive strength of self-compacting of concrete. These include varying amounts of cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, fly ash, fiber, water, super plasticizer (SP), viscosity modifying admixture (VMA) while the single output parameter is the compressive strength of concrete. The importance of different input parameters for predicting the strengths at various ages using neural network was discussed in the study. There is a perfect correlation between the experimental and prediction of the compressive strength of SCC based on ANN with very low root mean square errors. Also, the efficiency of ANN model is better compared to the multivariable regression analysis (MRA). Hence it can be concluded that the ANN model has more potential compared to MRA model in developing an optimum mix proportion for predicting the compressive strength of concrete without much loss of material and time.

In this study, an artificial neural network(ANN) was constructed to establish the relationship between process condition prameters and the qualities of the injection-molded product in the injection molding process. Six process parmeters were set as input parameter for ANN: melt temperature, mold temperature, injection speed, packing pressure, packing time, and cooling time. As output parameters, the mass, nominal diameter, and height of the injection-molded product were set. Two learning structures were applied to the ANN. The single-task learning, in which all output parameters are learned in correlation with each other, and the multi-task learning structure in which each output parameters is individually learned according to the characteristics, were constructed. As a result of constructing an artificial neural network with two learning structures and evaluating the prediction performance, it was confirmed that the predicted value of the ANN to which the multi-task learning structure was applied had a low RMSE compared with the single-task learning structure. In addition, when comparing the quality specifications of injection molded products with the prediction values of the ANN, it was confirmed that the ANN of the multi-task learning structure satisfies the quality specifications for all of the mass, diameter, and height.

This study proposes a new and highly-accurate artificial intelligence model, namely ANN-IP, which combines an interior-point (IP) algorithm and artificial neural network (ANN), to improve the axial compression capacity prediction of elliptical concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns. For this purpose, 145 tests of elliptical CFST columns extracted from the literature are used to develop the ANN-IP model. In this regard, axial compression capacity is considered as a function of the column length, the major axis diameter, the minor axis diameter, the thickness of the steel tube, the yield strength of the steel tube, and the compressive strength of concrete. The performance of the ANN-IP model is compared with the ANN-LM model, which uses the robust Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm to train the ANN model. The comparative results show that the ANN-IP model obtains more magnificent precision (R² = 0.983, RMSE = 59.963 kN, a20 - index = 0.979) than the ANN-LM model (R² = 0.938, RMSE = 116.634 kN, a20 - index = 0.890). Finally, a new Graphical User Interface (GUI) tool is developed to use the ANN-IP model for the practical design. In conclusion, this study reveals that the proposed ANN-IP model can properly predict the axial compression capacity of elliptical CFST columns and eliminate the need for conducting costly experiments to some extent.
