Determining the optimal number of hidden nodes is most challenging aspect Artificial Neural Network (ANN) design. To date, there are still no reliable methods determining this a priori, as it depends on so many domain-specific factors. Current which take these into account, such exhaustive search, growing and pruning evolutionary algorithms not only inexact, but also extremely time consuming -- in some cases prohibitively so. A novel approach embodied system called Heurix introduced. This...

Two-hidden layer feedforward neural networks (TLFNs) have been shown to outperform single-hidden-layer (SLFNs) for function approximation in many cases.However, their added complexity makes them more difficult find.Given a constant number of hidden nodes n h , this paper investigates how allocation between the first and second layers (n = 1 + 2 ) affects likelihood finding best generaliser.The experiments were carried out over total ten public domain datasets with 8 16.The findings that...

Precise control of an internal combustion engine for the reduction exhaust emissions benefits substantially from accurate measurement air–fuel or λ ratio. This paper describes use spark plug as a sensor. The time-varying spark-voltage profile is acquired and used to train neural network. network able estimate Minimal additional instrumentation required. Therefore, this method potentially provides cheap robust sensor measuring work described here involved devising appropriate data acquisition...

Small spark-ignition gasoline-fuelled internal-combustion engines can be found all over the world performing in various roles including power generation, agricultural applications and motive for small boats. To attain low cost, these are typically air-cooled, use simple carburettors to regulate fuel supply, employ magneto ignition systems. Electronic control, of sort automotive engines, has seldom proved cost-effective with engines. However, future trend towards that have levels polluting...
