Vose’s genetic algorithm model assuming an infinite population is useful for a theoretical analysis. However, it is generally difficult to know transitions of infinite populations. In this paper, we propose a method for modeling genetic algorithms for infinite populations by using neural networks. We use a neural network for estimating deterministic transitions of infinite populations from stochastic data obtained through observing a process of a genetic algorithm for finite populations. Then the trained network approximates a mapping (or a vector field) which characterizes the genetic algorithm. Our method introduces a framework for analyzing genetic algorithms from the viewpoint of neural networks. In this paper, we use a mixture‐of‐experts architecture for modeling and show that an optimization problem, which the genetic algorithm solves, is represented as a combination of some other optimization problems corresponding to expert networks.

For the effective and early diagnosis of brain diseases, we have developed an evaluation system for brain function using an Independent Component Analysis (ICA) method. This evaluation system benefits greatly from the newly emerged Grid. To embody a Grid environment, a Globus grid toolkit has been utilized as a building block. In this research we have distributed the computational workload for the ICA on a Globus based Grid environment composed of two Alpha cluster systems and a personal computer. In addition, in order to allow scientists and application developers to easily build the Grid-enabled system, we also have adopted a Grid-enabled-Message Passing Interface, called MPICH-G. An introduction of MPICH-G to the medical analysis system on a Grid environment makes it possible for a naïve user to realize rapid analysis without special knowledge of the Grid. Magnetoencephalography (MEG), a highly sophisticated medical technology, is used for the measurement of brain function. The proposed method has the ability to integrate various geographically distributed resources and to analyze functional brain data from MEG

In this paper, we are concerned with the problem of how a physical robot can get an appropriate internal representation to its task and environment. Learning from experience is effective for the problem, but it is very time-consuming to learn a representation from the beginning in a real environment. On the other hand, the representation learned only in a simulated environment has the risk of not serving the purpose in a real environment because of the uncertainty in sensors, actuators, and the environment. In, order to have the best of both worlds, it is effective to transplant the learned state representation of a virtual agent to a physical robot. For this purpose., we improved our developed incremental learning architecture for use in the real environment and developed a new architecture, called STNS-R. In this architecture, inappropriate negative instances caused by uncertainties are found on the basis of the distribution of instances and removed in order to correct the distorted shapes of the states. The effectiveness of STNS-R is shown in the experimental results.
Over the past decade, several inductive logic programming (ILP) systems have been developed. However, the normal ILP system does not have enough power to induce logic programs in some domains. Therefore, various new I...

A composite fuzzy measure space built up from two fuzzy measure spaces is proposed. It is applied to the automobile factory capital investment decision making problem. Firstly, in the application using a fuzzy measure on a real number, there is a problem of how to evaluate the inbetween intervals, each of which is given by a fuzzy measure. So, a composite fuzzy measure built up from two fuzzy measures defined on two fuzzy measurable spaces is proposed using composite fuzzy weights. The measurable space of this composite fuzzy measure is the direct sum of two measurable spaces. It is proved that a composite measure built up from two fuzzy measures using composite fuzzy weights will be a fuzzy measure. It is recursively extended to a composite fuzzy measure built up from plural measurable spaces. Also, the associative, composite fuzzy measure built up from three fuzzy measures is introduced. It is then applied to the automobile factory capital investment decision making problem. It is assumed that an automobile company has a sales plan of a new car. The current factory line has a capacity to manufacture 3200 new cars, additional to the current car lines. Then, by the use of this composite fuzzy measure, the differentiation of the Choquet integral becomes the important index for decision making, and it is confirmed to be a useful tool for this decision making.

Professor John Belcher developed a series of short videos with animation and text of selected experiments to properly demonstrate the phenomena of electromagnetism. Such 3D animations are visually compelling, instilling in the student both a sense of wonder about the phenomena and a mental model of why and how it works. The products of these approach includes video clips of demonstrations, 3D animations of these demonstration which display time changing field-lines as a guide to understanding their dynamical effects and Java applets which allow the student to actively construct and animate 2D field lines for varying configurations of sources. These technologies are also implemented to develop animations for Faraday's insights, using video clips.

Three sets of new findings with regard to modulation of visual perception by auditory stimuli are reviewed. First, we show that visual temporal resolution can be either improved or deteriorated by accompanying sounds, depending on the sequence and delay among the auditory and visual stimuli. Second, a single visual flash can be perceived as multiple flashes when accompanied by multiple sounds. Third, an ambiguous motion display consisting of two objects moving toward each other is perceived as streaming with or without an unsynchronized sound, but as bouncing with a synchronized sound. Based on these findings, we argue, against the traditional belief of visual dominance, that audition can modify vision particularly when it provides strong transient signal(s).

Recent research has shown that the centerline of the human aortic arch does not lie in a plane, but has a three-dimensional (3-D) distortion. This distortion is thought to be a risk factor in the development of aneurysms. In the present study, the aorta was numerically modeled using a computational fluid dynamics method. The flow geometry consisted of a circular tube with a centerline approximated by an ordinary helix. A region with a high component of longitudinal wall shear stress was found distributed along the direction of the torsion. The localization of the wall shear stress distribution is due to complex centrifugal forces, and is discussed with respect to the development of vascular diseases including aneurysms and atherosclerosis.
