    A Neural Network-Based Approach for Calculating Dissolved Oxygen Profiles in Reservoirs
    (Springer London Ltd, 2003) Soyupak, S; Karaer, F; Gürbüz, H; Kivrak, E; Sentürk, E; Yazici, A
    A Neural Network (NN) modelling approach has been shown to be successful in calculating pseudo steady state time and space dependent Dissolved Oxygen (DO) concentrations in three separate reservoirs with different characteristics using limited number of input variables. The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was adopted during training. Pre-processing before training and post processing after simulation steps were the treatments applied to raw data and predictions respectively. Generalisation was improved and over-fitting problems were eliminated: Early stopping method was applied for improving generalisation. The correlation coefficients between neural network estimates and field measurements were as high as 0.98 for two of the reservoirs with experiments that involve double layer neural network structure with 30 neurons within each hidden layer. A simple one layer neural network structure with 11 neurons has yielded comparable and satisfactorily high correlation coefficients for complete data set, and training, validation and test sets of the third reservoir.

    Discrete Time Neuro Sliding Mode Control With a Task-Specific Output Error
    (Springer, 2004) Efe, MO; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering
    The problem of obtaining the error at the output of a neuro sliding mode controller is analyzed in this paper. The controller operates in discrete time and the method presented describes an error measure that can be used if the task to be achieved is to drive the system under control to a predefined sliding regime. Once the task-specific output error is calculated, the neurocontroller parameters can be tuned so that the task is achieved. The paper postulates the strategy for discrete time representation of uncertain nonlinear systems belonging to a particular class. The performance of the proposed technique has been clarified on a third order nonlinear system, and the parameters of the controller are adjusted by using the error backpropagation algorithm. It is observed that the prescribed behavior can be achieved with a simple network configuration.

    Predicting dominant phytoplankton quantities in a reservoir by using neural networks
    (Springer, 2003) Gurbuz, H; Kivrak, E; Soyupak, S; Yerli, SV
    The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was used to train artificial neural networks to predict the abundance of Cyclotella ocellata Pant. and Cyclotella kutzingiana Thwaites using time, depth, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and electrical conductivity as input parameters for the oligo-mesotrophic Kuzgun Dam Reservoir, Turkey. The data were collected in monthly intervals during two ice-free seasons: between April 2000-November 2000 and April 2001-November 2001. To reduce over-fitting of the neural network based models, we employed single hidden layer networks with early stopping of training. Correlation coefficients, of neural network predictions with measurements of abundance of Cyclotella ocellata Pant. and Cyclotella kutzingiana Thwaites were 0.88 and 0.86, respectively.
