This study investigates the application of a coupled multi-layer perceptrons (MLP) model with Archimedes optimizer (AO) to predict characteristics of dissimilar lap joints made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polycarbonate (PC). The joints were welded using the laser transmission welding (LTW) technique equipped with a beam wobbling feature. The inputs of the models were laser power, welding speed, pulse frequency, wobble frequency, and wobble width; whereas, the outputs were seam width and shear strength of the joint. The Archimedes optimizer was employed to obtain the optimal internal parameters of the multi-layer perceptrons. In addition to the Archimedes optimizer, the conventional gradient descent technique, as well as the particle swarm optimizer (PSO), was employed as internal optimizers of the multi-layer perceptrons model. The prediction accuracy of the three models was compared using different error measures. The AO-MLP outperformed the other two models. The computed root mean square errors of the MLP, PSO-MLP, and AO-MLP models are (39.798, 19.909, and 2.283) and (0.153, 0.084, and 0.0321) for shear strength and seam width, respectively.

The single-layer perceptron, introduced by Rosenblatt in 1958, is one of the earliest and simplest neural network models. However, it is incapable of classifying linearly inseparable patterns. A new era of neural network research started in 1986, when the backpropagation (BP) algorithm was rediscovered for training the multilayer perceptron (MLP) model. An MLP with a large number of hidden nodes can function as a universal approximator. To date, the MLP model is the most fundamental and important neural network model. It is also the most investigated neural network model. Even in this AI or deep learning era, the MLP is still among the few most investigated and used neural network models. Numerous new results have been obtained in the past three decades. This survey paper gives a comprehensive and state-of-the-art introduction to the perceptron model, with emphasis on learning, generalization, model selection and fault tolerance. The role of the perceptron model in the deep learning era is also described. This paper provides a concluding survey of perceptron learning, and it covers all the major achievements in the past seven decades. It also serves a tutorial for perceptron learning.

The diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular disease are crucial medical tasks to ensure correct classification, which helps cardiologists provide proper treatment to the patient. Machine learning applications in the medical niche have increased as they can recognize patterns from data. Using machine learning to classify cardiovascular disease occurrence can help diagnosticians reduce misdiagnosis. This research develops a model that can correctly predict cardiovascular diseases to reduce the fatality caused by cardiovascular diseases. This paper proposes a method of k-modes clustering with Huang starting that can improve classification accuracy. Models such as random forest (RF), decision tree classifier (DT), multilayer perceptron (MP), and XGBoost (XGB) are used. GridSearchCV was used to hypertune the parameters of the applied model to optimize the result. The proposed model is applied to a real-world dataset of 70,000 instances from Kaggle. Models were trained on data that were split in 80:20 and achieved accuracy as follows: decision tree: 86.37% (with cross-validation) and 86.53% (without cross-validation), XGBoost: 86.87% (with cross-validation) and 87.02% (without cross-validation), random forest: 87.05% (with cross-validation) and 86.92% (without cross-validation), multilayer perceptron: 87.28% (with cross-validation) and 86.94% (without cross-validation). The proposed models have AUC (area under the curve) values: decision tree: 0.94, XGBoost: 0.95, random forest: 0.95, multilayer perceptron: 0.95. The conclusion drawn from this underlying research is that multilayer perceptron with cross-validation has outperformed all other algorithms in terms of accuracy. It achieved the highest accuracy of 87.28%.

Genomic selection (GS) is transforming the field of plant breeding and implementing models that improve prediction accuracy for complex traits is needed. Analytical methods for complex datasets traditionally used in other disciplines represent an opportunity for improving prediction accuracy in GS. Deep learning (DL) is a branch of machine learning (ML) which focuses on densely connected networks using artificial neural networks for training the models. The objective of this research was to evaluate the potential of DL models in the Washington State University spring wheat breeding program. We compared the performance of two DL algorithms, namely multilayer perceptron (MLP) and convolutional neural network (CNN), with ridge regression best linear unbiased predictor (rrBLUP), a commonly used GS model. The dataset consisted of 650 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from a spring wheat nested association mapping (NAM) population planted from 2014–2016 growing seasons. We predicted five different quantitative traits with varying genetic architecture using cross-validations (CVs), independent validations, and different sets of SNP markers. Hyperparameters were optimized for DL models by lowering the root mean square in the training set, avoiding model overfitting using dropout and regularization. DL models gave 0 to 5% higher prediction accuracy than rrBLUP model under both cross and independent validations for all five traits used in this study. Furthermore, MLP produces 5% higher prediction accuracy than CNN for grain yield and grain protein content. Altogether, DL approaches obtained better prediction accuracy for each trait, and should be incorporated into a plant breeder’s toolkit for use in large scale breeding programs.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an inflammation disease from a new virus. The disease causes respiratory ailment (like influenza) with manifestations, for example, cold, cough and fever, and in progressively serious cases, the problem in breathing. COVID-2019 has been perceived as a worldwide pandemic and a few examinations are being led utilizing different numerical models to anticipate the likely advancement of this pestilence.

With the common data about confirmed, death and recovered cases across India for over the time length helps in anticipating and estimating the not so distant future. For extra assessment or future perspective, case definition and data combination must be kept up persistently.

This paper proposes a new hybrid stochastic training algorithm using the recently proposed grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) for multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) neural networks. The GOA algorithm is an emerging technique with a high potential in tackling optimization problems based on its flexible and adaptive searching mechanisms. It can demonstrate a satisfactory performance by escaping from local optima and balancing the exploration and exploitation trends. The proposed GOAMLP model is then applied to five important datasets: breast cancer, parkinson, diabetes, coronary heart disease, and orthopedic patients. The results are deeply validated in comparison with eight recent and well-regarded algorithms qualitatively and quantitatively. It is shown and proved that the proposed stochastic training algorithm GOAMLP is substantially beneficial in improving the classification rate of MLPs.

The nearby type II supernova, SN 2023ixf in M101 exhibits signatures of early time interaction with circumstellar material in the first week postexplosion. This material may be the consequence of prior mass loss suffered by the progenitor, which possibly manifested in the form of a detectable presupernova outburst. We present an analysis of long-baseline preexplosion photometric data in the g, w, r, i, z, and y filters from Pan-STARRS as part of the Young Supernova Experiment, spanning ∼5000 days. We find no significant detections in the Pan-STARRS preexplosion light curves. We train a multilayer perceptron neural network to classify presupernova outbursts. We find no evidence of eruptive presupernova activity to a limiting absolute magnitude of −7 mag. The limiting magnitudes from the full set of gwrizy (average absolute magnitude ≈ −8 mag) data are consistent with previous preexplosion studies. We use deep photometry from the literature to constrain the progenitor of SN 2023ixf, finding that these data are consistent with a dusty red supergiant progenitor with luminosity logL/L⊙ ≈ 5.12 and temperature ≈ 3950 K, corresponding to a mass of 14–20 M ⊙.

Background Over 70% of Americans regularly experience stress. Chronic stress results in cancer, cardiovascular disease, depression, and diabetes, and thus is deeply detrimental to physiological health and psychological wellbeing. Developing robust methods for the rapid and accurate detection of human stress is of paramount importance. Methods Prior research has shown that analyzing physiological signals is a reliable predictor of stress. Such signals are collected from sensors that are attached to the human body. Researchers have attempted to detect stress by using traditional machine learning methods to analyze physiological signals. Results, ranging between 50 and 90% accuracy, have been mixed. A limitation of traditional machine learning algorithms is the requirement for hand-crafted features. Accuracy decreases if features are misidentified. To address this deficiency, we developed two deep neural networks: a 1-dimensional (1D) convolutional neural network and a multilayer perceptron neural network. Deep neural networks do not require hand-crafted features but instead extract features from raw data through the layers of the neural networks. The deep neural networks analyzed physiological data collected from chest-worn and wrist-worn sensors to perform two tasks. We tailored each neural network to analyze data from either the chest-worn (1D convolutional neural network) or wrist-worn (multilayer perceptron neural network) sensors. The first task was binary classification for stress detection, in which the networks differentiated between stressed and non-stressed states. The second task was 3-class classification for emotion classification, in which the networks differentiated between baseline, stressed, and amused states. The networks were trained and tested on publicly available data collected in previous studies. Results The deep convolutional neural network achieved 99.80% and 99.55% accuracy rates for binary and 3-class classification, respectively. The deep multilayer perceptron neural network achieved 99.65% and 98.38% accuracy rates for binary and 3-class classification, respectively. The networks’ performance exhibited a significant improvement over past methods that analyzed physiological signals for both binary stress detection and 3-class emotion classification. Conclusions We demonstrated the potential of deep neural networks for developing robust, continuous, and noninvasive methods for stress detection and emotion classification, with the end goal of improving the quality of life.
