Abstract

Purpose

In order to analyze the text complexity of Chinese and foreign academic English writings, the artificial neural network (ANN) under deep learning (DL) is applied to the study of text complexity. Firstly, the research status and existing problems of text complexity are introduced based on DL. Secondly, based on Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) algorithm, analyzation is made on the text complexity of Chinese and foreign academic English writings. And the research establishes a BPNN syntactic complexity evaluation system. Thirdly, MATLAB2013b is used for simulation analysis of the model. The proposed model algorithm BPANN is compared with other classical algorithms, and the weight value of each index and the model training effect are further analyzed by statistical methods. Finally, L2 Syntactic Complexity Analyzer (L2SCA) is used to calculate the syntactic complexity of the two libraries, and Mann–Whitney U test is used to compare the syntactic complexity of Chinese English learners and native English speakers. The experimental results show that compared with the shallow neural network, the deep neural network algorithm has more hidden layers and richer features, and better performance of feature extraction. BPNN algorithm shows excellent performance in the training process, and the actual output value is very close to the expected value. Meantime, the error of sample test is analyzed, and it is found that the evaluation error of BPNN algorithm is less than 1.8%, of high accuracy. However, there are significant differences in grammatical complexity among students with different English writing proficiency. Some measurement methods cannot effectively reflect the types and characteristics of written language, or may have a negative relationship with writing quality. In addition, the research also finds that the measurement of syntactic complexity is more sensitive to the language ability of writing. Therefore, BPNN algorithm can effectively analyze the text complexity of academic English writing. The results of the research provide reference for improving the evaluation system of text complexity of academic paper writing.

The market risk management of the Internet is to improve the management level of Internet financial risk, improve the policy of Internet financial supervision and promote the healthy development of Internet finance.

Design/methodology/approach

In this exploration, data mining technology is combined with deep learning to mine the Internet financial data, warn the potential risks in the market and provide targeted risk management measures. Therefore, in this article, to improve the application ability of data mining in dealing with Internet financial risk management, the radial basis function (RBF) neural network algorithm optimized by ant colony optimization (ACO) is proposed.

Findings

The results show that the actual error of the ACO optimized RBF neural network is 0.249, which is 0.149 different from the target error, indicating that the optimized algorithm can make the calculation results more accurate. The fitting results of the RBF neural network and ACO optimized RBF neural network for nonlinear function are compared. Compared with the performance of other algorithms, the error of ACO optimized RBF neural network is 0.249, the running time is 2.212 s, and the number of iterations is 36, which is far less than the actual results of the other two algorithms.

Originality/value

The optimized algorithm has a better spatial mapping and generalization ability and can get higher accuracy in short-term training. Therefore, the ACO optimized RBF neural network algorithm designed in this exploration has a high accuracy for the prediction of Internet financial market risk.

Abstract

Purpose

Omnidirectional mobile platforms are still plagued by the problem of heading deviation. In four-Mecanum-wheel systems, this problem arises from the phenomena of dynamic imbalance and slip of the Mecanum wheels while driving. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the mechanism of omnidirectional motion using Mecanum wheels, with the aim of enhancing the heading precision. A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) setting control algorithm based on a radial basis function (RBF) neural network model is introduced.

Design/methodology/approach

In this study, the mechanism of omnidirectional motion using Mecanum wheels is analyzed, with the aim of enhancing the heading precision. A PID setting control algorithm based on an RBF neural network model is introduced. The algorithm is based on a kinematics model for an omnidirectional mobile platform and corrects the driving heading in real time. In this algorithm, the neural network RBF NN2 is used for identifying the state of the system, calculating the Jacobian information of the system and transmitting information to the neural network RBF NN1.

Findings

The network RBF NN1 calculates the deviations ?Kp, ?Ki and ?Kd to regulate the three coefficients Kp, Ki and Kd of the heading angle PID controller. This corrects the driving heading in real time, resolving the problems of low heading precision and unstable driving. The experimental data indicate that, for a externally imposed deviation in the heading angle of between 34º and ∼38°, the correction time for an omnidirectional mobile platform applying the algorithm during longitudinal driving is reduced by 1.4 s compared with the traditional PID control algorithm, while the overshoot angle is reduced by 7.4°; for lateral driving, the correction time is reduced by 1.4 s and the overshoot angle is reduced by 4.2°.

Originality/value

In this study, the mechanism of omnidirectional motion using Mecanum wheels is analyzed, with the aim of enhancing the heading precision. A PID setting control algorithm based on an RBF neural network model is introduced. The algorithm is based on a kinematics model for an omnidirectional mobile platform and corrects the driving heading in real time. In this algorithm, the neural network RBF NN2 is used for identifying the state of the system, calculating the Jacobian information of the system and transmitting information to the neural network RBF NN1. The method is innovative.

Abstract

Purpose

To realize classification of different pavements, a road roughness acquisition system design and an improved restricted Boltzmann machine deep neural network algorithm based on Adaboost Backward Propagation algorithm for road roughness detection is presented in this paper. The developed measurement system, including hardware designs and algorithm for software, constitutes an independent system which is low-cost, convenient for installation and small.

Design/methodology/approach

The inputs of restricted Boltzmann machine deep neural network are the vehicle vertical acceleration power spectrum and the pitch acceleration power spectrum, which is calculated using ADAMS finite element software. Adaboost Backward Propagation algorithm is used in each restricted Boltzmann machine deep neural network classification model for fine-tuning given its performance of global searching. The algorithm is first applied to road spectrum detection and experiments indicate that the algorithm is suitable for detecting pavement roughness.

Findings

The detection rate of RBM deep neural network algorithm based on Adaboost Backward Propagation is up to 96 per cent, and the false positive rate is below 3.34 per cent. These indices are both better than the other supervised algorithms, which also performs better in extracting the intrinsic characteristics of data, and therefore improves the classification accuracy and classification quality. Additionally, the classification performance is optimized. The experimental results show that the algorithm can improve performance of restricted Boltzmann machine deep neural networks. The system can be used for detecting pavement roughness.

Originality/value

This paper presents an improved restricted Boltzmann machine deep neural network algorithm based on Adaboost Backward Propagation for identifying the road roughness. Through the restricted Boltzmann machine, it completes pre-training and initializing sample weights. The entire neural network is fine-tuned through the Adaboost Backward Propagation algorithm, verifying the validity of the algorithm on the MNIST data set. A quarter vehicle model is used as the foundation, and the vertical acceleration spectrum of the vehicle center of mass and pitch acceleration spectrum were obtained by simulation in ADAMS as the input samples. The experimental results show that the improved algorithm has better optimization ability, improves the detection rate and can detect the road roughness more effectively.

Abstract

Combining the parallel and neural paradigms seems, at first glance, to be a natural process, since it is a methodology derived from the part played by the biological and mathematical behavior of a neuron. It is proposed that any neural algorithm is inherently a parallel application. The structure of a neural algorithm and the function of a neuron suggest the choice of the systolic approach. However, interest should be restricted only to those well‐known neural models such as the Hopfield and back‐propagation neural networks. It is also shown that the systolic approach is best suited to the parallelization of the patterns training phase of the neural algorithms in terms of mapping the two structures (systolic and neural networks).

Abstract

Purpose

In the new era of highly developed Internet information, the prediction of the development trend of network public opinion has a very important reference significance for monitoring and control of public opinion by relevant government departments.

Design/methodology/approach

Aiming at the complex and nonlinear characteristics of the network public opinion, considering the accuracy and stability of the applicable model, a network public opinion prediction model based on the bald eagle algorithm optimized radial basis function neural network (BES-RBF) is proposed. Empirical research is conducted with Baidu indexes such as “COVID-19”, “Winter Olympic Games”, “The 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the Party” and “Aerospace” as samples of network public opinion.

Findings

The experimental results show that the model proposed in this paper can better describe the development trend of different network public opinion information, has good stability in predictive performance and can provide a good decision-making reference for government public opinion control departments.

Originality/value

A method for optimizing the central value, weight, width and other parameters of the radial basis function neural network with the bald eagle algorithm is given, and it is applied to network public opinion trend prediction. The example verifies that the prediction algorithm has higher accuracy and better stability.

Abstract

The performance of a welding process determines not only the cost, but also the quality of the product. How to control the welding process in order to ensure good welding performance with less cost and higher Productivity has become critical. The objective of this study is twofold: (1) developing artificial neural networks to predict welding performance using different learning algorithms: back propagation, simulated annealing and tabu search; (2) comparing and discussing the performance of neural networks trained using those algorithms. Statistical analysis shows that back propagation is able to make more accurate prediction than the other algorithms for this particular application. However, all three algorithms demonstrate impressive flexibility and robustness.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to conduct a comprehensive review of the noteworthy contributions made in the area of the Feedforward neural network (FNN) to improve its generalization performance and convergence rate (learning speed); to identify new research directions that will help researchers to design new, simple and efficient algorithms and users to implement optimal designed FNNs for solving complex problems; and to explore the wide applications of the reviewed FNN algorithms in solving real-world management, engineering and health sciences problems and demonstrate the advantages of these algorithms in enhancing decision making for practical operations.

Design/methodology/approach

The FNN has gained much popularity during the last three decades. Therefore, the authors have focused on algorithms proposed during the last three decades. The selected databases were searched with popular keywords: “generalization performance,” “learning rate,” “overfitting” and “fixed and cascade architecture.” Combinations of the keywords were also used to get more relevant results. Duplicated articles in the databases, non-English language, and matched keywords but out of scope, were discarded.

Findings

The authors studied a total of 80 articles and classified them into six categories according to the nature of the algorithms proposed in these articles which aimed at improving the generalization performance and convergence rate of FNNs. To review and discuss all the six categories would result in the paper being too long. Therefore, the authors further divided the six categories into two parts (i.e. Part I and Part II). The current paper, Part I, investigates two categories that focus on learning algorithms (i.e. gradient learning algorithms for network training and gradient-free learning algorithms). Furthermore, the remaining four categories which mainly explore optimization techniques are reviewed in Part II (i.e. optimization algorithms for learning rate, bias and variance (underfitting and overfitting) minimization algorithms, constructive topology neural networks and metaheuristic search algorithms). For the sake of simplicity, the paper entitled “Machine learning facilitated business intelligence (Part II): Neural networks optimization techniques and applications” is referred to as Part II. This results in a division of 80 articles into 38 and 42 for Part I and Part II, respectively. After discussing the FNN algorithms with their technical merits and limitations, along with real-world management, engineering and health sciences applications for each individual category, the authors suggest seven (three in Part I and other four in Part II) new future directions which can contribute to strengthening the literature.

Research limitations/implications

The FNN contributions are numerous and cannot be covered in a single study. The authors remain focused on learning algorithms and optimization techniques, along with their application to real-world problems, proposing to improve the generalization performance and convergence rate of FNNs with the characteristics of computing optimal hyperparameters, connection weights, hidden units, selecting an appropriate network architecture rather than trial and error approaches and avoiding overfitting.

Practical implications

This study will help researchers and practitioners to deeply understand the existing algorithms merits of FNNs with limitations, research gaps, application areas and changes in research studies in the last three decades. Moreover, the user, after having in-depth knowledge by understanding the applications of algorithms in the real world, may apply appropriate FNN algorithms to get optimal results in the shortest possible time, with less effort, for their specific application area problems.

Originality/value

The existing literature surveys are limited in scope due to comparative study of the algorithms, studying algorithms application areas and focusing on specific techniques. This implies that the existing surveys are focused on studying some specific algorithms or their applications (e.g. pruning algorithms, constructive algorithms, etc.). In this work, the authors propose a comprehensive review of different categories, along with their real-world applications, that may affect FNN generalization performance and convergence rate. This makes the classification scheme novel and significant.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new aerodynamic parameter estimation methodology based on neural network and output error method, while the output error method is improved based on particle swarm algorithm.

Design/methodology/approach

Firstly, the algorithm approximates the dynamic characteristics of aircraft based on feedforward neural network. Neural network is trained by extreme learning machine, and the trained network can predict the aircraft response at (k + 1)th instant given the measured flight data at kth instant. Secondly, particle swarm optimization is used to enhance the convergence of Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) algorithm, and the improved LM method is used to substitute for the Gauss Newton algorithm in output error method. Finally, the trained neural network is combined with the improved output error method to estimate aerodynamic derivatives.

Findings

Neither depending on the initial guess of the parameters to be estimated nor requiring numerical integration of the aircraft motion equation, the proposed algorithm can be used for unstable aircraft and is successfully applied to extract aerodynamic derivatives from both simulated and real flight data.

Research limitations/implications

The proposed method requires iterative calculation and can only identify parameters offline.

Practical implications

The proposed method is successfully applied to estimate aircraft aerodynamic parameters and can also be used as a new algorithm for other optimization problems.

Originality/value

In this study, the output error method is improved to reduce the dependence on the initial value of parameters and expand its application scope. It is applied in aircraft aerodynamic parameter identification together with neural network.
