Representation-burden Conservation Network Applied to Learning VQ (NPL270)
A self-creating network effective in learning vector quantization, called RCN (Representation-burden Conservation Network) is developed. Each neuron in RCN is characterized by a measure of representation-burde...

On the Characteristics of Growing Cell Structures (GCS) Neural Network
In this paper, a self-develo** neural network model, namely the Growing Cell Structures (GCS) is characterized. In GCS each node (or cell) is associated with a local resource counter τ (t). We show that GCS ...

Polyhedral representation of fuzzy linear bases
In [15], we introduced the concepts of fuzzy bases, fuzzy linear interpolation and fuzzy polygon of four-component fuzzy linear bases. In [16], these concepts were used in the maximal profile of the set of po...

A palmer-based continuous fuzzy flexible flow-shop scheduling algorithm
Flexible flow shops can be thought of as generalizations of simple flow shops. In the past, the processing time for each job was usually assumed to be known exactly, but in many real-world applications, proce...

Fuzzy generalization of the counter-propagation neural network: a family of soft competitive basis function neural networks
Based on combining neural network (NN) with fuzzy logical system (FLS), a new family of three-layer feedforward networks, called soft-competition basis function neural networks (SCBFs), is proposed under the ...

A dynamically-constructed fuzzy neural controller for direct model reference adaptive control of multi-input-multi-output nonlinear processes
Conventional industrial control systems are in majority based on the single-input-single-output design principle with linearized models of the processes. However, most industrial processes are nonlinear and m...
