Comprehensive Modelling of ANN

Abstract

An artificial neural network (ANN) is an information processing modelling of the human brain inspired by the way biological nervous systems behave. There are about 100 billion neurons in the human brain. Each neuron has a connection point between 1,000 and 100,000. The key element of this paradigm is the novel structure of the information processing system. In the human brain, information is stored in such a way as to be distributed, and we can extract more than one piece of this information when necessary from our memory in parallel. We are not mistaken when we say that a human brain is made up of thousands of very powerful parallel processors. It is composed of a large number of highly interconnected processing elements (neurons) working in union to solve specific problems. ANN, like people, learns by example. The chapter includes characteristics of artificial neural networks, structure of ANN, elements of artificial neural networks, pros and cons of ANN.

Qanat Discharge Prediction Using a Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Methods

“…The ANN model, which is adapted based on brain behavior, performs in two stages, (i) obtaining knowledge from the environment via a learning procedure and; (ii) using the interneuron link to gather the obtained knowledge (Haykin 2004;Patel et al 2022). The whole process consists of five phases: choosing the input dataset, choosing a proper framework, neural network designing, the process of training and testing, and lastly, model evaluation (Sahoo and Jha 2013).…”

Groundwater Level Simulation Using Soft Computing Methods with Emphasis on Major Meteorological Components

“…Osman et al's (2021) study showed that the Xgboost model had the best results among other used AI-based models such as ANN and support vector regression to predict GWL. A brief detail of studies regarding applying the AI-based models for GWL prediction is presented in The ANN computational approach is biologically inspired by the human brain (Patel et al, 2022). This model seems like the brain in two phases: (a) knowledge is obtained by the network from its environment as a result of a learning procedure, and (b) interneuron connection strengths are used to collect the obtained knowledge (Haykin 2004).…”
