A useful compiler has been designed that takes a high level neural network specification and constructs a low level configuration file explicitly specifying all network parameters and connections. The neural network model for which this compiler was designed is the adaptrode neuronal model, and the configuration file created can be used by the Adnet simulation engine to perform network experiments. The specification language is very flexible and provides a general framework from which almost any network wiring configuration may be created. While the compiler was created for the specialized adaptrode model, the wiring specification algorithms could also be used to specify the connections in other types of networks.

In this work we use a graph-theoretic representation of secondary RNA structure found in the database RAG: RNA-As-Graphs. We model the bonding of two RNA secondary structures to form a larger structure with a graph operation called merge. The resulting data from each tree merge operation is summarized and represented by a vector. We use these vectors as input values for a neural network and train the network to recognize a tree as RNA-like or not based on the merge data vector. The network correctly assigned a high probability of RNA-likeness to trees identified as RNA-like in the RAG database, and a low probability of RNA-likeness to those classified as not RNA-like in the RAG database. We then used the neural network to predict the RNA-likeness of all the trees of order 9. The use of a graph operation to theoretically describe the bonding of secondary RNA is novel.

This study presents the implementation of Middle East Technical University Neural Network (METU-NN) models for the ionospheric forecasting together with worldwide usage capability of the Internet. Furthermore, an attempt is made to include expert information in the Neural Network (NN) model in the form of neurofuzzy network (NFN). Middle East Technical University Neurofuzzy Network (METU-NFN) modeling approach is developed which is the first attempt of using a neurofuzzy model in the ionospheric forecasting studies. The Web based applications developed in this study have the ability to be customized such that other NN and NFN models including METU-NFN can also be adapted. The NFN models developed in this study are compared with the previously developed and matured METU-NN models. At this very early stage of employing neurofuzzy models in this field, ambitious objectives are not aimed. Applicability of the neurofuzzy systems on the ionospheric forecasting studies is only demonstrated. Training and operating METU-NN and METU-NFN models under equal conditions and with the same data sets, the cross correlation of obtained and measured values are 0.9870 and 0.9086 and the root mean square error (RMSE) values of 1.7425 TECU and 4.7987 TECU are found by operating METU-NN and METU-NFN models respectively. The results obtained by METU-NFN model is close to those found by METU-NN model. These results are reasonable enough to encourage further studies on neurofuzzy models to benefit from expert information. Availability of these models which already attracted intense international attention will greatly help the related scientific circles to use the models. The models can be architecturally constructed, trained and operated on-line. To the best of our knowledge this is the first application that gives the ability of on-line model usage with these features. Applicability of NFN models to the ionospheric forecasting is demonstrated. Having ample flexibility the constructed model enables further developments and improvements. Other neurofuzzy systems in the literature might also lead to better achievements.

Over the past decades, attention has been brought to the importance of indoor air quality and the serious threat of bio-aerosol contamination towards human health. A novel idea to transport hazardous particles away from sensitive areas is to automatically control bio-aerosol concentrations, by utilising airflows from ventilation systems. Regarding this, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) may be employed to investigate the dynamical behaviour of airborne particles, and data-driven methods may be used to estimate and control the complex flow simulations. This thesis presents a methodology for machine-learning based control of particle concentrations in turbulent gas-solid flow. The aim is to reduce concentration levels at a 90 degree corner, through systematic manipulation of underlying two-phase flow dynamics, where an energy constrained inlet airflow rate is used as control variable. A CFD experiment of turbulent gas-solid flow in a two-dimensional corner geometry is simulated using the SST k-omega turbulence model for the gas phase, and drag force based discrete random walk for the solid phase. Validation of the two-phase methodology is performed against a backwards facing step experiment, with a 12.2% error correspondence in maximum negative particle velocity downstream the step. Based on simulation data from the CFD experiment, a linear auto-regressive with exogenous inputs (ARX) model and a non-linear ARX based neural network (NN) is used to identify the temporal relationship between inlet flow rate and corner particle concentration. The results suggest that NN is the preferred approach for output predictions of the two-phase system, with roughly four times higher simulation accuracy compared to ARX. The identified NN model is used in a model predictive control (MPC) framework with linearisation in each time step. It is found that the output concentration can be minimised together with the input energy consumption, by means of tracking specified target trajectories. Control signals from NN-MPC also show good performance in controlling the full CFD model, with improved particle removal capabilities, compared to randomly generated signals. In terms of maximal reduction of particle concentration, the NN-MPC scheme is however outperformed by a manually constructed sine signal. In conclusion, CFD based NN-MPC is a feasible methodology for efficient reduction of particle concentrations in a corner area; particularly, a novel application for removal of indoor bio-aerosols is presented. More generally, the results show that NN-MPC may be a promising approach to turbulent multi-phase flow control.

Computational intelligence techniques, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs), have been widely used to improve the performance of power system monitoring and control. Although inspired by the neurons in the brain, ANNs are largely different from living neuron networks (LNNs) in many aspects. Due to the oversimplification, the huge computational potential of LNNs cannot be realized by ANNs. Therefore, a more brain-like artificial neural network is highly desired to bridge the gap between ANNs and LNNs. The focus of this research is to develop a biologically inspired artificial neural network (BIANN), which is not only biologically meaningful, but also computationally powerful. The BIANN can serve as a novel computational intelligence tool in monitoring, modeling and control of the power systems. A comprehensive survey of ANNs applications in power system is presented. It is shown that novel types of reservoir-computing-based ANNs, such as echo state networks (ESNs) and liquid state machines (LSMs), have stronger modeling capability than conventional ANNs. The feasibility of using ESNs as modeling and control tools is further investigated in two specific power system applications, namely, power system nonlinear load modeling for true load harmonic prediction and the closed-loop control of active filters for power quality assessment and enhancement. It is shown that in both applications, ESNs are capable of providing satisfactory performances with low computational requirements. A novel, more brain-like artificial neural network, i.e. biologically inspired artificial neural network (BIANN), is proposed in this dissertation to bridge the gap between ANNs and LNNs and provide a novel tool for monitoring and control in power systems. A comprehensive survey of the spiking models of living neurons as well as the coding approaches is presented to review the state-of-the-art in BIANN research. The proposed BIANNs are based on spiking models of living neurons with adoption of reservoir-computing approaches. It is shown that the proposed BIANNs have strong modeling capability and low computational requirements, which makes it a perfect candidate for online monitoring and control applications in power systems. BIANN-based modeling and control techniques are also proposed for power system applications. The proposed modeling and control schemes are validated for the modeling and control of a generator in a single-machine infinite-bus system under various operating conditions and disturbances. It is shown that the proposed BIANN-based technique can provide better control of the power system to enhance its reliability and tolerance to disturbances. To sum up, a novel, more brain-like artificial neural network, i.e. biologically inspired artificial neural network (BIANN), is proposed in this dissertation to bridge the gap between ANNs and LNNs and provide a novel tool for monitoring and control in power systems. It is clearly shown that the proposed BIANN-based modeling and control schemes can provide faster and more accurate control for power system applications. The conclusions, the recommendations for future research, as well as the major contributions of this research are presented at the end.
