Abstract: The lecture describes a feed forward
Artificial Neural Network (ANN) synthesis via an
Analytic Programming (AP) by means of the ANN creation,
learning and optimization. This process encompasses four
different fields: Evolutionary Algorithms, Symbolic
Regression, ANN and parallel computing to successfully
synthetize a suitable ANN within a reasonable time. AP
performes well in many separate cases together with
different evolutionary algorithms as its “engine”.
Direct asynchronous parallelization of SOMA –
Self-Organizing Migration Algorithm is applied here to
boost AP with unusual efficiency. The ANN synthesis
method is applied to the real life problem of Heat Load
Prediction function optimization of the heating plant in
Komorany (Czech Republic) as well as on cancer
classification problem and is compared with other
methods. ANN synthesis proved to be a useful and
efficient tool for nonlinear modeling and its results
were applied to intelligent system controlling an
energetic framework of an urban agglomeration.
Brief Biography of the Speaker:
Pavel Varacha graduated from Tomas Bata University in
Zlin, Czech Republic in 2006. In the same year he has
started to work as a lecturer on Faculty of Applied
Informatics, Tomas Bata University in Zlin. Pavel
Varacha develops innovative methods in the fields of
evolutionary computing, parallel computation and
artificial neural network optimization.. Since 2006 he
frequently publishes articles and software solutions
covering his scientific contributions. Between 2006 and
2011 he worked as a researcher on National Research
Program II, The intelligent system controlling an
energetic framework of an urban agglomeration
(successfully finished in 2011). In 2008 he has started
to work also in College of Logistics, Prerov, Czech
Republic. From 2009 he regularly publishes within WSEAS
conferences and journals. Pavel Varacha has acquired
Ph.D. title in Information Technology from Tomas Bata
University in Zlin (2011). He continues his scientific
and pedagogic work on Department of Informatics and
Artificial Intelligence, Faculty of Applied Informatics,
Tomas Bata University in Zlin. Presently he is a member
of WSEAS research project developing unique method of
neural network optimization and learning called Neural
Network Synthesis.
