Recent Trends in Artificial Neural Networks: from training to prediction

Abstract

Applications and utilization of artificial neural networks (ANNs) have increased drastically. Applications range from prediction of wave energy potential, object recognition, biochemical systems, earth observation images, structural control systems, forecasting crime patterns, time series problems, and training electric transmission network.In this book, ANNs and applicable nature of ANNs and its importance are highlighted by explaining different aspects of ANNs. This book starts with time series problems, describing models and an application for clustering, and then proceeds with the usage of metaheuristic optimization methods for reducing error level a given network. The book ends with some real-life and practical applications of ANNs to various fields of studies from energy saving to structural control systems.
