>THE FIRST TANNS MEETING OF THIS ACADEMIC YEAR

PLACE: BNR, INC. (DIRECTIONS BELOW), Research Triangle Park, NC

TITLE:
> Fuzzy Logic Approach for the Design of Artificial Neural
> Network Configurations

ABSTRACT:
> There exist many different artificial neural network structures that can
> satisfy a given engineering application.  Not only can different networks,
> such as the feedforward net and Kohonen net can be used to satisfactorily
> perform the given task, but also different configurations of a neural
> network paradigm can be used as well.  The network design process needs
> to consider many factors such as the number of neurons, number of inputs,
> accuracy, robustness and training time.  In this paper, a method for
> dynamically changing the number of inputs and hidden nodes of the network
> using fuzzy logic to optimize a given cost function is presented and
> discussed.  The cost function is used to make a quantitative comparison
> between individual network structures and is based on the accuracy,
> robustness, training time, and number of neurons used in the network
> configuration.  For illustration purposes, a fault detection artificial
> neural network is configured based on the optimization of the cost function.

DIRECTIONS: From Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill: take I-40 toward Research
Triangle Park and get off at Davis Drive.  Turn left (south), and follow
Davis through to the intersection with Highway 54.  Continue for another 1/2
mile, and turn left into the BNR entrance on Davis.  This is the employee
lot; park there and go in the door at that entrance.
