According to Vision Indonesia, data on people with eye diseases in Indonesia in 2018-2019 were 3 million people or about 1.5% of the total population. So far, public information or knowledge about the recognition of eye disease disorders is still lacking. The problem in this study is how to educate the public about the introduction of eye diseases based on information on symptoms of the disease and how to apply the web-based Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithm for the introduction of eye diseases. The ANN algorithm in the eye disease recognition education system can conclude knowledge even though it does not have certainty and takes it into account sequentially so that the process is faster. In terms of educational content about eye disease recognition, this is a novelty to use. This research aims to create an educational system for introducing eye diseases based on information on symptoms of the disease and applying a web-based Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithm for the recognition of eye diseases.

The work of ANN in the education system for the introduction of eye diseases is to make parameters of eye disease symptoms or indicators that will produce the type of eye disease. The research material used is data on types of eye diseases and symptoms of each type of eye disease. The research results are to create an education system that can help the public recognise eye diseases based on the symptoms of these eye diseases that can be run on a web platform. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithm can manage input analysis data from disease indicators and show the initial results of eye diseases that can be detected. suffered by someone based on Training Results Weights and Bias v11= 1.6769, v01= 0.4356, w11= -1.5233, w01= 0.3242.

In this study, we proposed a new approach in estimating a minimum value of machining performance. In this approach, artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA) techniques were integrated in order to search for a set of optimal cutting condition points that leads to the minimum value of machining performance. Three machining cutting conditions for end milling operation that were considered in this study are speed (v), feed (f) and radial rake angle (γ). The considered machining performance is surface roughness (R a). The minimum R a value at the optimal v, f and γ points was expected from this approach. Using the proposed approach, named integrated ANN–GA, this study has proven that R a can be estimated to be 0.139 µm, at the optimal cutting conditions of f = 167.029 m/min, v = 0.025 mm/tooth and γ = 14.769°. Consequently, the ANN–GA integration system has reduced the R a value at about 26.8%, 25.7%, 26.1% and 49.8%, compared to the experimental, regression, ANN and response surface method results, respectively. Compared to the conventional GA result, it was also found that integrated ANN–GA reduced the mean R a value and the number of iterations in searching for the optimal result at about 0.61% and 23.9%, respectively.

Spam detection is one of the major problems which considered by many researchers by different developed strategies. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is one of many others being proposed.

GA was used to determine some ANN parameters and suggest optimum weights to efficiently enhance the ANN learning. Experimental results show that the hybrid ANN and GA has superior performance when compared to conventional ANN.

Artificial neural network is an efficient and accurate fitting method. It has the function of self-learning, which is particularly important for prediction, and it could take advantage of the computer’s high-speed computing capabilities and find the optimal solution quickly. In this paper, four culture conditions: agar concentration, light time, culture temperature, and humidity were selected. And a three-layer neural network was used to predict the differentiation rate of melon under these four conditions. Ten-fold cross validation revealed that the optimal back propagation neural network was established with traingdx as the training function and the final architecture of 4-3-1 (four neurons in the input layer, three neurons in the hidden layer and one neuron in the output layer), which yielded a high coefficient of correlation (R2, 0.9637) between the actual and predicted outputs, and a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 0.0108, suggesting that the artificial neural network worked well. According to the optimal culture conditions generated by genetic algorithm, tissue culture experiments had been carried out. The results showed that the actual differentiation rate of melon reached 90.53%, and only 1.59% lower than the predicted value of genetic algorithm. It was better than the optimization by response surface methodology, which the predicted induced differentiation rate is 86.04%, the actual value is 83.62%, and was 2.89% lower than the predicted value. It can be inferred that the combination of artificial neural network and genetic algorithm can optimize the plant tissue culture conditions well and with high prediction accuracy, and this method will have a good application prospect in other biological experiments.

Using artificial neural network and genetics algorithm to estimate the resilient modulus for stabilized subgrade and propose new empirical formula

This paper presents an algorithm for reducing speckle noise from optical coherence tomography (OCT) images using an artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm. The noise is modeled using Rayleigh distribution with a noise parameter, sigma, estimated by the ANN. The input to the ANN is a set of intensity and wavelet features computed from the image to be processed, and the output is an estimated sigma value. This is then used along with a numerical method to solve the inverse Rayleigh function to reduce the noise in the image. The algorithm is tested successfully on OCT images of Drosophila larvae. It is demonstrated that the signal-to-noise ratio and the contrast-to-noise ratio of the processed images are increased by the application of the ANN algorithm in comparison with the respective values of the original images.

Ship stiffened panels, typically flat plates reinforced with various types of stiffeners, form a substantial part of a ship’s structure and are susceptible to resonance, especially in areas such as the after peak structure, engine room, and accommodation compartments. These vibrations are primarily excited by main engine and propeller forces. Conventional methods such as finite element analysis (FEA) and plate theory are widely used to estimate vibration frequencies, but they are time-consuming and computationally intensive when applied to numerous stiffened panels. This study proposes a machine learning approach using an artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm to efficiently predict the vibration frequencies of ship stiffened panels. A crude oil tanker is chosen as the case study, and FEA is conducted to generate the vibration frequency and mass data for panels across critical regions. The input layer features for the ANN include panel area, thickness, number and area of stiffeners, fluid density, number of fluid contact sides, and overall structural stiffness. The ANN model predicts two outputs: the fundamental vibration frequency and the mass of the panel structure. To evaluate the model performance, hyperparameters such as the number of hidden neurons are optimized. The results indicate that the ANN achieves accurate predictions while significantly reducing the time and resources required compared with conventional methods. This approach offers a promising tool for accelerating the local vibration analysis process in ship structural design.

Artificial intelligence through deep neural networks is now widely used in a variety of applications that have profoundly altered human livelihoods in a variety of ways. People's daily lives have become much more convenient. Image recognition, smart recommendations, self-driving vehicles, voice translation, and a slew of other neural network innovations have had a lot of success in their respective fields. The authors present the ANN applied in weather forecasting. The prediction technique relies solely upon learning previous input values from intervals in order to forecast future values. And also, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a form of deep learning technique that can help classify, recognize, and predict trends in climate change and environmental data. However, due to the inherent difficulties of such results, which are often independently identified, non-stationary, and unstable CNN algorithms should be built and tested with each dataset and system separately. On the other hand, to eradicate error and provides us with data that is virtually identical to the real value we need Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) algorithms or benefit from it. The presented CNN model's forecasting efficiency was compared to some state-of-the-art ANN algorithms. The analysis shows that weather prediction applications become more efficient when using ANN algorithms because it is really easy to put into practice.

Machine learning algorithms are used to analyze medical data sets effectively in present. Today machine learning gives us several necessary tools for intelligent data analysis and research. Especially in very recent years, the digital world has provided relatively inexpensive and available means to collect and store the data. The main aim is to implement supervised machine learning concept by using datasets regarding blood cells collected from blood cells detecting and counting sensors, of a human as the input which is trained by artificial neural network algorithm and apply decision tree classification learning algorithm to perform classification which results in recognizing and also possibly predict the disease based on the nature of blood cells and classify accordingly. Artificial Neural network algorithm seems to avoid pruning problem and has higher efficiency and accuracy in training the datasets. Also the using of Decision tree is because they are easy to interpret, understand and also possess non-linear characteristics between values. This holds well the performance of the tree constructed which gives better outputs. Beside all the application developed using machine learning in day today life, the use of such learning algorithm in such medical application will enhance and benefit the medical field.

This paper presents a novel approach to solve the hydro plant dispatch problem based on the artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA). In this work, the difficult water balance constraints are embedded and satisfied throughout the proposed encoding and decoding algorithms. The ANN is used as a pre-dispatch tool to generate raw hydro output for each hour temporarily ignoring time-dependent constraints. Then, the proposed decoding algorithm decodes the raw schedule of each plant into a feasible one. Finally, a GA is used to find the optimal schedule. The proposed approach is applied to an actual utility system of four hydro plants and 22 thermal units with great success. Results show that the new approach obtains a more highly optimal solution than the conventional dynamic programming method.

As an innovative approach in this study, artificial neural network and cuckoo algorithm have been applied to estimate and optimize the main cutting forces of various Si brass alloys during turning operation due to economic reasons. Accordingly, the chemical composition (Cu, Zn and Si contents) and process parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) are simultaneously implemented as input variables and the main cutting force is adjusted as an output variable. Moreover, the genetic algorithm is used to determine the optimum condition of the input parameters to obtain the lowest amounts of the main cutting force. Coupling of the hybrid cuckoo algorithm with artificial neural network has resulted in decreasing the mean absolute percentage error of the optimum structure (6-10-7-1) from 9.025 to 1.59E–6%. The validation of the proposed model has been done by performing the new set of experimental tests. The measured and predicted main cutting forces are in good agreement. The Si brass alloys including Zn equivalent about 44.97 wt% has the lowest main cutting force due to the formation of the Widmanstäetten morphologies in the microstructure. The outcome of this study may be useful for machining industry of the free-cutting Si brasses.

Phosphorylation of PI3Kγ as a member of lipid kinases-enzymes, plays a crucial role in regulating immune cells through the generation of intracellular signals. Deregulation of this pathway is involved in several tumors. In this research, diverse sets of potent and selective isoform-specific PI3Kγ inhibitors whose drug-likeness was confirmed based on Lipinski’s rule of five were used in the modeling process. Genetic algorithm (GA)-based multivariate analysis was employed on the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of them. In this way, multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm, were used to QSAR models construction on 245 compounds with a wide range of pIC50 (5.23–9.32). The stability and robustness of the models have been evaluated by external and internal validation methods (R2 0.623–0.642, RMSE 0.464–0.473, F 40.114, Q2LOO 0.600, and R2y-random 0.011). External verification using a wide variety of structures out of the training and test sets show that ANN is superior to MLR. The descriptors entered into the model are in good agreement with the X-ray structures of target-ligand complexes; so the model is interpretable. Finally, Williams plot-based analysis was applied to simultaneously compare the inhibitory activity and structural similarity of training, test and validation sets.

Development of NOx reduction system utilizing artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA)

The computational cost of training artificial neural network (ANN) algorithms limits the use of large systems capable of processing complex problems. Implementing ANNs on a parallel or distributed platform to improve performance is therefore desirable. This work illustrates a method to predict and evaluate the performance of distributed ANN algorithms by analyzing the performance of the comparatively simple mathematical operations, which are used to construct the ANN. The ANN algorithms are divided into simple components: matrix and vector multiplication, matrix processed through a function, competition in a matrix. These basic operational parts are examined individually and it is demonstrated that the computation processes of distributed neural networks can be derived from the composition of these basic operations. Three popular network architectures are examined: multi-layer perceptrons with back-propagation learning, self-organizing map, and radial basis functions network.
