Evolutionary learning of rich neural networks in the Bayesian model selection framework

Matteo Matteucci, Dario Spadoni (2004)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In this paper we focus on the problem of using a genetic algorithm for model selection within a Bayesian framework. We propose to reduce the model selection problem to a search problem solved using evolutionary computation to explore a posterior distribution over the model space. As a case study, we introduce ELeaRNT (Evolutionary Learning of Rich Neural Network Topologies), a genetic algorithm which evolves a particular class of models, namely, Rich Neural Networks (RNN), in order to...

A rainfall forecasting method using machine learning models and its application to the Fukuoka city case

S. Monira Sumi, M. Faisal Zaman, Hideo Hirose (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In the present article, an attempt is made to derive optimal data-driven machine learning methods for forecasting an average daily and monthly rainfall of the Fukuoka city in Japan. This comparative study is conducted concentrating on three aspects: modelling inputs, modelling methods and pre-processing techniques. A comparison between linear correlation analysis and average mutual information is made to find an optimal input technique. For the modelling of the rainfall, a novel hybrid...

A heuristic forecasting model for stock decision making.

D. Zhang, Q. Jiang, X. Li (2005)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

This paper describes a heuristic forecasting model based on neural networks for stock decision-making. Some heuristic strategies are presented for enhancing the learning capability of neural networks and obtaining better trading performance. The China Shanghai Composite Index is used as case study. The forecasting model can forecast the buying and selling signs according to the result of neural network prediction. Results are compared with a benchmark buy-and-hold strategy. The forecasting...
