A Reduced Probabilistic Neural Network For The Classification Of Large Databases, Abdelhadi Lotfi, Abdelkader Benyettou Jan 2014

A Reduced Probabilistic Neural Network For The Classification Of Large Databases, Abdelhadi Lotfi, Abdelkader Benyettou

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The probabilistic neural network (PNN) is a special type of radial basis neural network used mainly for classification problems. Due to the size of the network after training, this type of network is usually used for problems with a small-sized training dataset. In this paper, a new training algorithm is presented for use with large training databases. Application to the handwritten digit database shows that the reduced PNN performs better than the standard PNN for all of the studied cases with a big gain in size and processing speed. This new type of neural network can be used easily for …


Optimization Of Job Shop Scheduling Problems Using Modified Clonal Selection Algorithm, Yilmaz Atay, Hali̇fe Kodaz Jan 2014

Optimization Of Job Shop Scheduling Problems Using Modified Clonal Selection Algorithm, Yilmaz Atay, Hali̇fe Kodaz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Artificial immune systems (AISs) are one of the artificial intelligence techniques studied a lot in recent years. AISs are based on the principles and mechanisms of the natural immune system. In this study, the clonal selection algorithm, which is used commonly in AISs, is modified. This algorithm is applied to job shop scheduling problems, which are one of the most difficult optimization problems. For applying application results to the optimum solution, parameter values giving the optimum solution are determined by analyzing the parameters in the algorithm. The obtained results are given in detail in the tables and figures. The best …
