Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) is to estimate individual appliance’s power consumption from aggregated smart meter data, which is useful for optimized energy management and provisioning of customized services. While deep learning (DL) has achieved state-of-the-art NILM performance, it is still constrained by the dependency on large amounts of data and intensive computations on training. In t...Show More
In this paper, an ensemble learning approach is proposed for load forecasting in urban power systems. The proposed framework consists of two levels of learners that integrate clustering, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and a Fully Connected Cascade (FCC) neural network. Historical load data is first partitioned by a clustering algorithm to train multiple LSTM models in the level-one learner, and th...Show More
The paper presents a new method for improvement of the Error Back Propagation, one of the most popular algorithms for training artificial neural networks, that is based on the estimation of the learning rate by the approximation of the error of the output error. Experimental studies confirming the effectiveness of the applied method of improving the network learning effectiveness have been present...Show More
Deep neural networks are able to solve much more complex and nonlinear problems than very popular but shallow technologies such as ELM, SVR or SLP. Despite of their power deep neural networks are difficult to apply due to problems with effective and successful training caused by `vanishing' problem. The paper shows that these problems can be reduced by using appropriate network architecture. The p...Show More
RBF networks seem to be an interesting and efficient alternative for traditional sigmoid-based neural networks. More sophisticated activation function makes a network more powerful but requires developing of new training methods. The paper presents a new more efficient training algorithm based on the second-order constructive ErrCor (Error Correction) algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed a...Show More
In this paper, a short-term load forecasting framework with long short-term memory (LSTM)-based ensemble learning is proposed. To fully exploit the correlation in data for accurate load forecasting, the data is first clustered and each cluster is used to train an LSTM model. Then a Fully Connected Cascade (FCC) Neural Network is incorporated for ensemble learning, which is solved by an enhanced Le...Show More
Error Back Propagation algorithm is one of the most popular method for training artificial neural networks. Unfortunately, this is also one of the slowest due to constant and small learning rate parameter used to update weights of neurons. There are therefore many methods for dynamic change this parameter in the adaptive manner. In this paper has been presented new method based on estimation of le...Show More
Difficult experiments in training neural networks often fail to converge due to what is known as the flat-spot problem, where the gradient of hidden neurons in the network diminishes in value, rending the weight update process ineffective. Whereas a first-order algorithm can address this issue by learning parameters to normalize neuron activations, the second-order algorithms cannot afford additio...Show More
Deep learning become a popular trend in current research and applications. Deep neural networks are important part of this trend. The paper shows the effect of neural network architecture on its power and capacity for solving complex, nonlinear problems. The problem has been analyzed using trigonometric, polynomial and digital approaches. Presented analysis show that the network capacity increases...Show More
Radial basis function (RBF) networks, because of their universal approximation ability, have been widely applied to industrial process modeling. In this study, an Improved ErrCor (IErrCor) algorithm-an extension of error correction (ErrCor) algorithm-is proposed, in which compact structure and satisfactory generalization ability can be obtained with only one learning try. First, a second-order-bas...Show More
This paper presents a density- and grid- based (DGB) clustering method for categorizing data with arbitrary shapes and noise. As most of the conventional clustering approaches work only with round-shaped clusters, other methods are needed to be explored to proceed classification of clusters with arbitrary shapes. Clustering approach by fast search and find of density peaks and density-based spatia...Show More
Clustering or categorizing an unprocessed data set is essential and critical in many areas. Much success has been published, which first needs to calculate the mutual distances between data points. It suffers from considerable computational costs, preventing the state-of-the-art methods such as the clustering method by fast search and find of density peaks (FSFDP, published in Science, 2014) from ...Show More
Traditional data processing algorithms are usually not capable to process big data. As matter of fact, usually big data is being defined as such which cannot be processed with traditional techniques. At the same time a progress of technology makes that humans are now overwhelm by big data. One way of processing big data is to use deep neural networks, which are difficult to train so often a combin...Show More
The rapid development of computing machines led to renewed interest in deep neural networks. For years it is known that they have a great possibilities, but to use them new training algorithms are required. The paper shows benefits for deep neural networks usage by analysis of the Fourier series approximation of the activation function for shallow and deep neural network architectures. The propose...Show More
This paper demonstrates that collector current ( $I_{C}$ ), dc current gain ( $\beta $ ), cutoff frequency ( $f_{T}$ ), and maximum oscillation frequency ( $f_{\max }$ ) of bipolar transistors (BJTs) can be improved by uniaxial stress. A unified modeling approach that includes a piezoresistive model for changes in mobility and a deformation potential model for changes in intrinsic carrier concentr...Show More
Traditional bipolar differential amplifiers have only a ±5-mV operational range with nonlinear distortion below 0.1 dB. In this paper, a linearization technique based on neural-network training algorithm is proposed to expand this 0.1-dB linear region to a much wider ±200-mV range. Compared with the traditional and recent state-ofthe-art techniques for linearization, where gain or noise performanc...Show More
In this paper, we propose two versions of an improved defuzzification technique for Takagi Sugeno Kang (TSK) fuzzy systems (FSs) based on local third-order approximations. The presented nearest-neighbor spline approximation algorithms (NNSA1 and NNSA2) use the concept of a zeroth-order TSK FS and produce smooth surfaces with increased accuracy. The proposed methods are tested on a variety of funct...Show More
In this paper, a new algorithm for visualization of high-multidimensional data is described. The algorithm follows several steps. At first, centers representing several categories are selected, and Euclidean distances between these centers are calculated in a high-dimensional space. Then these centers are placed in a 2-dimensional space in such a way that distances in this 2-dimensional space are ...Show More

The capacitor voltage is regulated at half of the DC source amplitude to have seven voltage levels at the output. Seven voltage levels include each DC bus voltage, their sum and subtraction. Switching pattern is ...Show More
Residual levels of stress remaining after device fabrication have been characterized in the base and emitter regions of shallow-trench-isolated complementary npn and pnp transistors on (100) silicon utilizing uniaxial stress measurements. A residual biaxial stress of approximately 160 MPa has been found in the active regions of the npn transistors, whereas negligible residual stress is observed in...Show More

Although discovery of the Error Back Propagation (EBP) learning algorithm was a real breakthrough, this is not only a very slow algorithm, but it also is not capable of training networks with super compact architecture. The most noticeable progress was done with an adaptation of the LM algorithm to neural network training. The LM algorithm is capable of training networks with 100 to 1000 fewer ite...Show More
