Abstract Nonlinear system modeling and identification is the one of the most important areas in engineering problem. The paper presents the recurrent fuzzy neural network (RFNN) trained by modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) methods for identifying the dynamic systems and chaotic observation prediction. The proposed MPSO algorithms mainly modify the calculation formulas of inertia weights. Two MPSOs, namely linear decreasing particle swarm optimization (LDPSO) and adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO) are developed to enhance the convergence behavior in learning process. The RFNN uses MPSO based method to tune the parameters of the membership functions, and it uses gradient descent (GD) based… More >

Abstract In this study, a systematic data-driven adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) modelling methodology is proposed. The new methodology employs an unsupervised competitive learning scheme to build an initial ANFIS structure from input-output data, and a high-performance PSO-LSE method is developed to improve the structure and to identify the consequent parameters of ANFIS model. This proposed modelling approach is evaluated using several nonlinear systems and is shown to outperform other modelling approaches. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed approach is able to find the most suitable architecture with better results compared with other methods from the literature. More >

Abstract Nuclear power plants (NPP) contain plenty of valve piping systems (VPS’s) which are categorized into high anti-seismic grades. Tasks such as seismic qualification, health monitoring and damage diagnosis of VPS’s in its design and operation processes all depend on finite element method. However, in engineering practice, there is always deviations between the theoretical and the measured responses due to the inaccurate value of the structural parameters in the model. The structure parameters identification of VPS within NPP is still an unexplored domain to a large extent. In this paper, the initial 2Dfinite element model (FEM) for VPS with a DN80… More >

Abstract As an indispensable task in crop protection, the detection of crop diseases directly impacts the income of farmers. To address the problems of low crop-disease identification precision and detection abilities, a new method of detection is proposed based on improved genetic algorithm and extreme learning machine. Taking five different typical diseases with common crops as the objects, this method first preprocesses the images of crops and selects the optimal features for fusion. Then, it builds a model of crop disease identification for extreme learning machine, introduces the hill-climbing algorithm to improve the traditional genetic algorithm, optimizes the initial weights and… More >

Abstract The wind as a natural phenomenon would cause the derivation of the pesticide drops during the operation of agricultural unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). In particular, the changeable wind makes it difficult for the precision agriculture. For accurate spraying of pesticide, it is necessary to estimate the real-time wind parameters to provide the correction reference for the UAV path. Most estimation algorithms are model based, and as such, serious errors can arise when the models fail to properly fit the physical wind motions. To address this problem, a robust estimation model is proposed in this paper. Considering the diversity of the… More >

Abstract Extracting nonlinear governing equations from noisy data is a central challenge in the analysis of complicated nonlinear behaviors. Despite researchers follow the sparse identification nonlinear dynamics algorithm (SINDy) rule to restore nonlinear equations, there also exist obstacles. One is the excessive dependence on empirical parameters, which increases the difficulty of data pre-processing. Another one is the coexistence of multiple coefficient vectors, which causes the optimal solution to be drowned in multiple solutions. The third one is the composition of basic function, which is exclusively applicable to specific equations. In this article, a local sparse screening identification algorithm (LSSI) is proposed… More >

Abstract Weather phenomenon recognition plays an important role in the field of meteorology. Nowadays, weather radars and weathers sensor have been widely used for weather recognition. However, given the high cost in deploying and maintaining the devices, it is difficult to apply them to intensive weather phenomenon recognition. Moreover, advanced machine learning models such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have shown a lot of promise in meteorology, but these models also require intensive computation and large memory, which make it difficult to use them in reality. In practice, lightweight models are often used to solve such problems. However, lightweight models often… More >

Abstract The prediction of particles less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5) in fog and haze has been paid more and more attention, but the prediction accuracy of the results is not ideal. Haze prediction algorithms based on traditional numerical and statistical prediction have poor effects on nonlinear data prediction of haze. In order to improve the effects of prediction, this paper proposes a haze feature extraction and pollution level identification pre-warning algorithm based on feature selection and integrated learning. Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance method is used to extract low-level features of haze, and deep confidence network is utilized to extract… More >

Abstract In recent years, the number of exposed vulnerabilities has grown rapidly and more and more attacks occurred to intrude on the target computers using these vulnerabilities such as different malware. Malware detection has attracted more attention and still faces severe challenges. As malware detection based traditional machine learning relies on exports’ experience to design efficient features to distinguish different malware, it causes bottleneck on feature engineer and is also time-consuming to find efficient features. Due to its promising ability in automatically proposing and selecting significant features, deep learning has gradually become a research hotspot. In this paper, aiming to detect… More >
