An advantage of chaotic neural dynamics (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P., & Lycett, S. (2007). An advantage of chaotic neural dynamics. In 2007 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (1417-1422). https://doi.org/10.1109/IJCNN.2007.4371166

One hypothesis about how biological neural systems work suggests that they use attractor dynamics to define their behaviour. Such behaviour can be modelled using recurrent neural network models. It has been shown that such systems can perform a wide... Read More about An advantage of chaotic neural dynamics.

An efficient transformation method for DFRM expansions. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Xu, H., Yang, M., Wang, L. Y., Tong, J. R., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2007). An efficient transformation method for DFRM expansions. In 7th International Conference on ASIC, 2007. ASICON '07 (1158-1161). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICASIC.2007.4415839

Dual Form of Reed-Muller (DFRM) expansions with fixed poarity are derived from Reed-Muller (RM) expansions by using the operation of Kronecker matrix products. An efficient decomposition method is proposed based on the formulation. The method can be... Read More about An efficient transformation method for DFRM expansions..

Comparison of pattern recognition techniques for the classification of impact acoustic emissions. (2007)
Journal Article
Yella, S., Gupta, N. K., & Dougherty, M. S. (2007). Comparison of pattern recognition techniques for the classification of impact acoustic emissions. Transportation Research Part C : Emerging Technologies, 15, 345-360. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trc.2007.05.004

Current day condition monitoring applications involving wood are mostly carried out through visual inspection and if necessary some impact acoustic examination is carried out. These inspections are mainly done intuitively by skilled personnel. In thi... Read More about Comparison of pattern recognition techniques for the classification of impact acoustic emissions..
