Towards a framework for developing educational software (1999)
Presentation / Conference
Meziane, F., Onn, C., Labadin, J., & Harris, R. (1999, September). Towards a framework for developing educational software. Presented at Proceedings of the International Conference on Information Technology in Asia (CITA 1999),, Kuching, Sarawak

There is a need for review in mathematical education to satisfy a growing demand for graduates that can support research and development in many technical fields. Dissatisfaction with current curriculum has pushed many institutions and countries to r... Read More about Towards a framework for developing educational software.

Improving the performance of multilayer perceptrons where limited training data are available for some classes (1999)
Presentation / Conference
Parikh, C., Pont, M., Li, Y., & Jones, N. (1999, September). Improving the performance of multilayer perceptrons where limited training data are available for some classes. Presented at 9th International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks: ICANN '99, Edinburgh

The standard multi-layer perceptron (MLP) training algorithm implicitly assumes that equal numbers of examples are available to train each of the network classes. However, in many condition monitoring and fault diagnosis (CMFD) systems, data represen...

Management of production in construction: A theoretical view (1999)
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L. (1999, July). Management of production in construction: A theoretical view. Presented at 7th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, Berkeley, California, USA

The transformation view and the flow view are two major conceptualizations of production. The current practice in construction is based on the transformation view. However, the transformation view is an idealization, and in a complex production situa... Read More about Management of production in construction: A theoretical view.

Comparing the performance of three neural classifiers for use in embedded applications (1999)
Presentation / Conference
Li, Y., Pont, M., Parikh, C., & Jones, N. (1999, July). Comparing the performance of three neural classifiers for use in embedded applications. Presented at Recent Advances in Soft Computing Techniques and Applications, Leicester, UK

In this paper, we provide a detailed empirical comparison of three neural-based classifiers used in embedded applications. The three techniques (multi-layer Perceptrons, radial basis function networks and adaptive fuzzy systems) are compared with one...

Using a combination of RBFN, MLP and kNN classifiers for engine misfire detection (1999)
Presentation / Conference
Li, Y., Pont, M., Parikh, C., & Jones, N. (1999, July). Using a combination of RBFN, MLP and kNN classifiers for engine misfire detection. Presented at Recent Advances in Soft Computing Techniques and Applications, Leicester, UK

In this paper, we apply radial basis function networks (RBFN), multilayer perceptron (MLP) and a conventional statistical classifier, k-nearest neighbour (kNN), to the detection of misfires in a petrol engine. Used alone, each classifier is shown to... Read More about Using a combination of RBFN, MLP and kNN classifiers for engine misfire detection.

Investigating the performance of MLP classifiers where limited training data are available for some classes (1999)
Presentation / Conference
Parikh, C., Pont, M., Li, Y., & Jones, N. (1999, July). Investigating the performance of MLP classifiers where limited training data are available for some classes. Presented at Recent Advances in Soft Computing Techniques and Applications, Leicester, UK

The standard implementation of the back-propagation training algorithm for multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks assumes that there are equal number of samples for training each of the required classes. Where limited training data are availabl... Read More about Investigating the performance of MLP classifiers where limited training data are available for some classes.

Neural networks for condition monitoring and fault diagnosis : The effect of training data on classifier performance (1999)
Presentation / Conference
Parikh, C., Pont, M., Li, Y., & Jones, N. (1999, April). Neural networks for condition monitoring and fault diagnosis : The effect of training data on classifier performance. Presented at International Conference on Condition Monitoring, Swansea, UK

This paper focuses on the development of neural-based condition-monitoring and fault-diagnosis (CMFD) systems. Specifically, we consider the impact of the limited availability of `faulty' training data in real CMFD applications. Where limited data ar...
