A prototype concurrent engineering tool has been developed for the preliminary design of composite topside structures for modern navy warships. This tool, named GELS for the Concurrent Engineering of Layered Structures, provides designers with an immediate assessment of the impacts of their decisions on several disciplines which are important to the performance of a modern naval topside structure, including electromagnetic interference effects (EMI), radar cross section (RCS), structural integrity, cost, and weight. Preliminary analysis modules in each of these disciplines are integrated to operate from a common set of design variables and a common materials database. Performance in each discipline and an overall fitness function for the concept are then evaluated. A graphical user interface (GUI) is used to define requirements and to display the results from the technical analysis modules. Optimization techniques, including feasible sequential quadratic programming (FSQP) and exhaustive search are used to modify the design variables to satisfy all requirements simultaneously. The development of this tool, the technical modules, and their integration are discussed noting the decisions and compromises required to develop and integrate the modules into a prototype conceptual design tool.

In this research we address the problem of recognition of isolated handwritten characters. Handwritten character recognition has been a topic of research for a long period of time. It has been argued that this problem is difficult to model using classical modeling techniques, and that neural networks offer a new perspective to approaching this problem. This paper outlines the experimental evidence we have compiled while investigating possible approaches to handwritten character recognition. It is the hypothesis of our approach that handwritten character recognition is a pattern recognition problem and that there exists a set of unique features in the data which can be used for classification.

This paper reports evaluations of several neural architectures when the handwritten character recognition is approached as a problem of spectro-temporal pattern recognition. In general, neural networks specialize in learning either the spectral or temporal characteristics of patterns. However, choice of appropriate features and architectures could lead to obtaining both spectral and temporal characteristics from the handwritten character patterns. One such feature and three appropriate architectures are the focus of this paper. The results obtained during a limited set of experiments indicate a great potential for the spectro-temporal approach to be a useful contender for being a part of schemes of handwritten character recognition systems. In addition, a simple voting method is presented for collaborative character recognition using three different recognition criteria.< >

In this paper we present the results of classification of handwritten characters on a Kohonen neural network. Three types of features, Fourier transform, geometric moments and shadow feature extracted from handwritten character data were used for classification. Classification accuracy is found to be much higher with the shadow feature in comparison to the more traditional Fourier transform and geometric moments. We have also explored the relation between Kohonen's learning of orientation based correlations and the learning rule of a minimum distance approach, used in a feedforward Athena neural network.

The authors target the problem of curve fitting on data samples for the purpose of subsequent interpolation. This is what backpropagation was developed for but its dependency on initial conditions and net topology affects its robustness. Here the authors present a different method which is based on an analysis of possible properties of the internal representations developed as a result of learning. Thus they introduce some additional constraints concerning direct control on internal representations. This method incorporates properties of supervised as well as unsupervised learning in the fitting problem.

A two-phase backpropagation algorithm is presented. In the first phase the directions of the weight vectors of the first hidden layer are constrained to remain in directions suitably chosen by pattern recognition, data compression, or speech and image processing techniques. Then, the constraints are removed and the standard backpropagation algorithm takes over to further minimize the error function. The first phase swiftly situates the weight vectors in a good position which can serve as the initialization of the standard backpropagation algorithm. The generality of its application, its simplicity, and the shorter training time it requires, makes this approach attractive.< >
