... In the present study, a numerical example is defined to highlight the good performances of the NC using the neural emulator fuzzy adapting parameter for Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) nonlinear processes. We consider a MIMO nonlinear process given by (24) [3]: To prove the efficiency of the developed approach, results are compared with those based on neural emulator using the starting term [17], given by figure 5, and results with those based on neural emulator using constant adapting parameter [18], illustrated by figure 6. The simulation results demonstrate the satisfactory closed-loop performances of the developed approach. ...

The application of neural networks can present some limitations for the control of strongly nonlinear systems. In this paper, a new control scheme based on a neural multicontroller (NMC) is proposed. Indeed, the developed strategy considers a set of local neural controllers which adapt their parameters thanks to an online adaptation algorithm. The instantaneous choice of the adequate local controller is based on a switching mechanism. The advantages of the proposed method are (1) to avoid the computational complexity issues due to the search for an optimal adapting rate when a single neural controller is used, and in presence of strongly nonlinear systems, and (2) to improve the control law by selecting the suitable controller which generates the most valid control law satisfying the desired closed-loop performances. Numerical examples are illustrated to evaluate the performance of the proposed control scheme compared to the classical one. An application of the new strategy on a chemical reactor model validates satisfactory results.

Natural and man-made soil slope failures are complex phenomena and cause serious hazards in many countries of the world. As a result, public and private property is damaged worth millions of dollars. It is necessary to understand the processes causing failure of slopes and prediction of its vulnerability for proper mitigation of slope failure hazards. Various attempts have been made to predict the stability of slope using both conventional methods such as limit equilibrium method, finite element method, finite difference method and statistical methods. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods like artificial neural networks, genetic programming and genetic algorithms, and support vector machines are found to have better efficiency compared to statistical methods. The present study is an attempt to use recently developed AI methods such as functional networks (FNs), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), and multigene genetic programming (MGGP) to predict factor of safety of slope using slope stability data available in the literature. Prediction model equations are also provided, which can be used to predict the factor of safety of a slope. The performances of these AI techniques have been evaluated in terms of different statistical parameters such as average absolute error, maximum absolute error, root mean square error, correlation coefficient, and Nash–Sutcliff coefficient of efficiency. Of the available models, MARS model had better prediction performance in comparison with MGGP and FN models in terms of the above statistical criteria.

Accident prediction is one of the most critical aspects of road safety, whereby an accident can be predicted before it actually occurs and precautionary measures taken to avoid it. For this purpose, accident prediction models are popular in road safety analysis. Artificial intelligence (AI) is used in many real world applications, especially where outcomes and data are not same all the time and are influenced by occurrence of random changes. This paper presents a study on the existing approaches for the detection of unsafe driving patterns of a vehicle used to predict accidents. The literature covered in this paper is from the past 10 years, from 2004 to 2014. AI techniques are surveyed for the detection of unsafe driving style and crash prediction. A number of statistical methods which are used to predict the accidents by using different vehicle and driving features are also covered in this paper. The approaches studied in this paper are compared in terms of datasets and prediction performance. We also provide a list of datasets and simulators available for the scientific community to conduct research in the subject domain. The paper also identifies some of the critical open questions that need to be addressed for road safety using AI techniques.

This work aimed to establish a chemometric technique for quantifying amylase and protease activities as well as protein concentration in aqueous extracts of Rhizopus microsporus var. oligosporus obtained via solid-state fermentation (SSF). The kinetics of four agro-industrial wastes (wheat bran, soybean meal, type II wheat flour and sugarcane bagasse) were studied for 144 h, along with two different sets of their ternary mixtures, at a constant fermentation time of 120 h, to obtain primary data (biochemical parameters as well as near-infrared (NIR) spectral data). Then, models such as artificial neural network (ANN) and partial least squares (PLS) were calibrated to predict biochemical parameters using the spectral data. Primary data and three methods of preprocessing data – first, second and third derivatives – were assessed as inputs for both chemometric tools. The third derivative, that is, spectral pre-processing plus an optimized ANN, showed the least relative errors (<8.3% ± 10.5%). The third-derivative spectrum was found to be suitable as the ANN input data for monitoring amylase and protease activities and protein concentration in the SSF under study. The proposed methodology can serve as a foundation for at-line sensor development and decrease the time and cost of bioprocess development using Rhizopus microsporus var. oligosporus.

This work investigates an uncoupled multimodel emulator for non-linear system control design. Efficiency of the proposed multimodel emulator is illustrated by comparison with the neural one by their application to SISO indirect adaptive neural control. Neither an initialisation parameter and nor online adaptation is required for multimodel emulator unlike the neural one. The effectiveness of the proposed multimodel emulator is shown through numerical simulations. The obtained results using multimodel emulator are far better than neural emulator.

This paper deals with a new indirect adaptive control scheme with decoupled adaptive rates, developed for complex square systems with unknown dynamics. This scheme, based on fully connected neural networks, is inspired from the real time recurrent learning (RTRL) algorithm. Both neural emulator and neural controller networks do not learn the plant dynamics but only adapt their parameters using an online adaptation algorithm in order to track the process variations. The contributions of this paper are to propose a new structure of neural control with a full structure of neural controller and to demonstrate the efficiency of the relaxation of networks parameters relative to the new proposed structure. Advantages of Neural controller with full structure and relaxation of its parameters from neural emulator ones are suggested according to simulation of nonlinear system. Effectiveness of the new proposed control structure is established by its application to the well-known Tennessee Eastman Challenge Process.

Adaptive control by means of neural networks for non-linear dynamical systems is an open issue. For real world applications, practitioners have to pay attention to external disturbances, parameters uncertainty and measurement noise, as long as these factors will influence the stability of the closed loop system. As a consequence, robust stability of the closed loop controlled by neural network is an important issue that must be considered. Our contribution concerns the robustness analysis and synthesis of adaptive indirect control scheme. This scheme is based on fully connected neural networks, and inspired from the standard real time recurrent learning. This analysis is concerned by combining Lyapunov approach and linearisation around the nominal parameters to establish analytical sufficient conditions for the global robust stability of adaptive neural network controller. Advantages of the proposed algorithm are suggested according to simulation examples.
