Neural Network Methods for Dynamic Equations on Time Scales (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
by Svetlin GeorgievThis book aims to handle dynamic equations on time scales using artificial neural network (ANN). Basic facts and methods for ANN modeling are considered. The multilayer artificial neural network (ANN) model is introduced for solving of dynamic equations on arbitrary time scales. A multilayer ANN model with one input layer containing a single node, a hidden layer with m nodes, and one output node are investigated. The feed-forward neural network model and unsupervised error back-propagation algorithm are developed. Modification of network parameters is done without the use of any optimization technique. The regression-based neural network (RBNN) model is introduced for solving dynamic equations on arbitrary time scales. The RBNN trial solution of dynamic equations is obtained by using the RBNN model for single input and single output system. A variety of initial and boundary value problems are solved. The Chebyshev neural network (ChNN) model and Levendre neural network model are developed. The ChNN trial solution of dynamic equations is obtained by using the ChNN model for single input and single output system. This book is addressed to a wide audience of specialists such as mathematicians, physicists, engineers, and biologists. It can be used as a textbook at the graduate level and as a reference book for several disciplines.

Neural Network-Based Adaptive Control of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems
by Heidar A. Talebi Farzaneh Abdollahi Kasra EsfandiariThe focus of this book is the application of artificial neural networks in uncertain dynamical systems. It explains how to use neural networks in concert with adaptive techniques for system identification, state estimation, and control problems. The authors begin with a brief historical overview of adaptive control, followed by a review of mathematical preliminaries. In the subsequent chapters, they present several neural network-based control schemes. Each chapter starts with a concise introduction to the problem under study, and a neural network-based control strategy is designed for the simplest case scenario. After these designs are discussed, different practical limitations (i.e., saturation constraints and unavailability of all system states) are gradually added, and other control schemes are developed based on the primary scenario. Through these exercises, the authors present structures that not only provide mathematical tools for navigating control problems, but also supply solutions that are pertinent to real-life systems.
Neural Networks and Deep Learning: A Textbook
by Charu C. AggarwalThis book covers both classical and modern models in deep learning. The primary focus is on the theory and algorithms of deep learning. The theory and algorithms of neural networks are particularly important for understanding important concepts, so that one can understand the important design concepts of neural architectures in different applications. Why do neural networks work? When do they work better than off-the-shelf machine-learning models? When is depth useful? Why is training neural networks so hard? What are the pitfalls? The book is also rich in discussing different applications in order to give the practitioner a flavor of how neural architectures are designed for different types of problems. Applications associated with many different areas like recommender systems, machine translation, image captioning, image classification, reinforcement-learning based gaming, and text analytics are covered. The chapters of this book span three categories: The basics of neural networks: Many traditional machine learning models can be understood as special cases of neural networks. An emphasis is placed in the first two chapters on understanding the relationship between traditional machine learning and neural networks. Support vector machines, linear/logistic regression, singular value decomposition, matrix factorization, and recommender systems are shown to be special cases of neural networks. These methods are studied together with recent feature engineering methods like word2vec. Fundamentals of neural networks: A detailed discussion of training and regularization is provided in Chapters 3 and 4. Chapters 5 and 6 present radial-basis function (RBF) networks and restricted Boltzmann machines. Advanced topics in neural networks: Chapters 7 and 8 discuss recurrent neural networks and convolutional neural networks. Several advanced topics like deep reinforcement learning, neural Turing machines, Kohonen self-organizing maps, and generative adversarial networks are introduced in Chapters 9 and 10. The book is written for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners. Numerous exercises are available along with a solution manual to aid in classroom teaching. Where possible, an application-centric view is highlighted in order to provide an understanding of the practical uses of each class of techniques.
