In this study soft computing techniques including, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) were investigated for the prediction of Cr(VI) transport efficiency by novel Polymer Inclusion Membranes (PIMs). Transport experiments carried out by varying parameters such as time, film thickness, carrier type, carier rate, plasticizer type, and plasticizer rate. The predictive performance of ANN and ANFIS model was evaluated by using statistical performance criteria such as Root Mean Standard Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Coefficient of Determination (R²). Moreover, Sensitivity Analysis (SA) was carried out to investigate the effect of each input on PIMs Cr(VI) removal efficiency. The proposed ANN model presented reliable and valid results, followed by ANFIS model results. RMSE and MAE values were 0.00556, 0.00163 for ANN and 0.00924, 0.00493 for ANFIS model in the prediction of Cr(VI) removal efficiency on testing data sets. The R² values were 0.973 and 0.867 on testing data sets by ANN and ANFIS, respectively. Results show that the ANN-based prediction model performed better than ANFIS. SA demonstrated that time; film thickness; carrier type and plasticizer type are major operating parameters having 33.61%, 26.85%, 21.07% and 8.917% contribution, respectively.

This study aimed to develop AI- (Artificial Intelligence) based thermal control logics and test their performance for identifying the optimal thermal control method in buildings. For this objective, a conventional Two-Position On/Off logic and two AI-based variable logics, which applied ANN (Artificial Neural Network) and ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System), have developed. Performance of each logic was tested in a typical two-story residential building in U.S.A. using the computer simulation incorporating MATLAB and IBPT (International Building Physics Toolbox). In the analysis of the test results, AI-based control logic presented the advanced thermal comfort with stability compared to the conventional logic while they did not show significant energy saving effects. In conclusion, the predictive and adaptive AI-based control logics have a potential to maintain interior air temperature more comfortably, and the findings in this study could be a solid foundation for identifying the optimal thermal control method in buildings.

최근 들어 그 심각성을 더하고 있는 이상기후 현상으로 가용 수자원의 변동이 커지고 있으며, 이에 따라 수자원의 효율적인 운영이 요구되고 있다. 그러나 효율적인 운영을 위해서는 미래 유입량의 불확실성의 고려하고, 홍수 조절용량의 확보하면서도, 용수공급을 위한 저수량을 확보하고, 수력 발전을 해야 하는 복잡한 상황을 모두 고려하여야한다. 이러한 복잡한 시스템에서 하나의 최적화 기법으로는 모든 고려사항들을 만족시키는 최적해를 찾는 것은 사실상 불가능에 가깝다. 그러므로 저수지 운영의 최적화를 위한 연구에서 한 가지 이상의 기법을 조합하는 기법을 사용하게 되었다. 이러한 기법은 각 기법의 장점을 취하고 각각의 한계를 극복하기 위해 주로 사용되었다. 본 연구에서는 저수지 운영 최적화를 모의하기 위하여 대청댐에서의 저수위, 유입량, 용수이용량 등을 고려하여 방류량의 예측을 동적 계획법(Dynamic Programming Model)으로부터 동적 신경망(Dynamic Neural Network Model)과 적응 퍼지 제어기법(Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System)을 개발하여 실제 방류량과 세 가지 최적화 방법에 의한 결과를 비교 검정하였다. 본 연구의 수행으로 인해 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 동적 신경망과 적응 퍼지 제어기법에 의한 최적화 모의가 동적 계획법에 비해 시스템의 구축이 쉽고 유연하다. 둘째, 퍼지추론의 Membership 함수의 구축에 따라 단시간에 많은 양의 강우가 발생하는 국지성 강우에 대해서도 최적 방류량을 예측할 수 있다. 셋째, 저수지 운영 과거자료의 부족과 불확실성을 해결하면, 보다 용이하고 양호한 예측결과를 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

Signals of the Electroencephalogram (EEG) can reflect the electrical background activity of the brain generated by the cerebral cortex nerve cells. This has been the mostly utilized signal, which helps in effective analysis of brain functions by supervised learning methods. In this paper, an approach for improving the accuracy of EEG signal classification is presented to detect epileptic seizures. Moreover, Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is incorporated as a preprocessing step and Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) is used for denoising the signal adequately. Feature extraction of EEG signals is accomplished on the basis of three parameters namely, Standard Deviation, Correlation Dimension and Lyapunov Exponents. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is trained by incorporating Levenberg-Marquardt(LM) training algorithm into the backpropagation algorithm that results in high classification accuracy. Experimental results reveal that the methodology will improve the clinical service of the EEG recording and also provide better decision making in epileptic seizure detection than the existing techniques. The proposed EEG signal classification using feed forward Backpropagation Neural Network performs better than to the EEG signal classification using Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) classifier in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity.

본 논문에서는 효율적인 이동성 관리를 위한 이동성 예측 기법을 소개한다. 이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 사용자가 지리적 위치의 제약없이 언제, 어디서나 다른 네트워크 시스템과 메시지를 주고 받을수 있다. 그러나, 통신자원의 부족, 잦은 접속단절 , 사용자의 움직임 등과같은 이동 컴퓨팅 시스템의 특징 때문에, 지능적이고 효율적인 이동성관리가 요구된다. 이동 컴퓨팅 시스템이 지능적이고 효율적인 이동성관리를 통하여 높은 질의 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 이동 사용자의 움직임 패턴들을 능동적으로 고려하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 논문에서는 이동 사용자의 과거수일, 수개월동안의 움직임 패턴 즉, 이동사용자의 위치연혁으로부터 미래 위치를 예측하는 지능적 이동성 예측기법(intelligent mobility prediction scheme)을 제안한다. 모델링 방법으로서 뉴로-퍼지 추론시스템(neuro-fuzzy inference system)을 이용한다. 뉴로-퍼지 추론 시스템이 이동 사용자가 움직이게 되는 미래 위치를 예측하기 때문에 , 본 논문에서의 이동성 예측 기법은 통신채널의 사전 배당, 부족한 자원의 사전 할당등을 위해서 사용될 수 있다. 게다가, 본 논문의 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안하는 기법이 다양한 이동 환경에 대해서 높은 예측 정확도를 갖음을 보여준다.

The damage analysis of coastal structure is very important as it involves many design parameters to be considered for the better and safe design of structure. In the present study experimental data for non-reshaped berm breakwater are collected from Marine Structures Laboratory, Department of Applied Mechanics and Hydraulics, NITK, Surathkal, India. Soft computing techniques like Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference system (ANFIS) models are constructed using experimental data sets to predict the damage level of non-reshaped berm breakwater. The experimental data are used to train ANN, SVM and ANFIS models and results are determined in terms of statistical measures like mean square error, root mean square error, correla-tion coefficient and scatter index. The result shows that soft computing techniques i.e., ANN, SVM and ANFIS can be efficient tools in predicting damage levels of non reshaped berm breakwater.

Composite dowels are implemented as a powerful alternative to headed studs for the efficient combination of Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) with high-strength steel in novel composite structures. They are required to provide sufficient shear resistance and ensure the transmission of tensile forces in the composite connection in order to prevent lifting of the concrete slab. In this paper, the load bearing capacity of puzzle-shaped and clothoidal-shaped dowels encased in UHPC specimen were investigated based on validated experimental test data. Considering the influence of the embedment depth and the spacing width of shear dowels, the characteristics of UHPC square plate on the load bearing capacity of composite structure, 240 numeric models have been constructed and analyzed. Three artificial intelligence approaches have been implemented to learn the discipline from collected experimental data and then make prediction, which includes Artificial Neural Network-Particle Swarm Optimization (ANN-PSO), Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and an Extreme Learning Machine (ELM). Among the factors, the embedment depth of composite dowel is proved to be the most influential parameter on the load bearing capacity. Furthermore, the results of the prediction models reveal that ELM is capable to achieve more accurate prediction.

Elliptical concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) column is widely used in modern structures for both aesthetical appeal and structural performance benefits. The ultimate axial load is a critical factor for designing the elliptical CFST short columns. However, there are complications of geometric and material interactions, which make a difficulty in determining a simple model for predicting the ultimate axial load of elliptical CFST short columns. This study aims to propose an efficient adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model for predicting the ultimate axial load of elliptical CFST short columns. In the proposed method, the ANFIS model is used to establish a relationship between the ultimate axial load and geometric and material properties of elliptical CFST short columns. Accordingly, a total of 188 experimental and simulation datasets of elliptical CFST short columns are used to develop the ANFIS models. The performance of the proposed ANFIS model is compared with that of existing design formulas. The results show that the proposed ANFIS model is more accurate than existing empirical and theoretical formulas. Finally, an explicit formula and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) tool are developed to apply the proposed ANFIS model for practical use.

Maximum shear modulus (G_max or G₀) is an important soil property useful for many engineering applications, such as the analysis of soil-structure interactions, soil stability, liquefaction evaluation, ground deformation and performance of seismic design. In the current study, bender element (BE) tests are used to evaluate the effect of the void ratio, effective confining pressure, grading characteristics (D₅₀, C_u and C_c), anisotropic consolidation and initial fabric anisotropy produced during specimen preparation on the G_max of sand-gravel mixtures. Based on the tests results, an empirical equation is proposed to predict G_max in granular soils, evaluated by the experimental data. The artificial neural network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) models were also applied. Coefficient of determination (R²) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) between predicted and measured values of G_max were calculated for the empirical equation, ANN and ANFIS. The results indicate that all methods accuracy is high; however, ANFIS achieves the highest accuracy amongst the presented methods.

Recently, as HTTP-based video streaming traffic continues to increase, Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP(DASH), which is one of the HTTP-based adaptive streaming(HAS) technologies, is receiving attention. Accordingly, many video quality control techniques have been proposed to provide a high quality of experience(QoE) to clients in a DASH environment. In this paper, we propose a new quality control method using ANFIS(Adaptive Network based Fuzzy Inference System) which is one of the neuro-fuzzy system structure. By using ANFIS, the proposed scheme can find fuzzy parameters that selects the appropriate segment bitrate for clients. Also, considering the characteristic of VBR video, the next segment download time can be more accurately predicted using the actual size of the segment. And, by using this, it adjusts video quality appropriately in the time-varying network. In the simulation using NS-3, we show that the proposed scheme shows higher average segment bitrate and lower number of bitrate-switching than the existing methods and provides improved QoE to the clients.
