The Centre for Research & Innovation and IQAC of Paavai Engineering College is organizing an Online Lecture Series on Optimisation Techniques. In this series, on 28.12.23, a topic “Hybrid AI Algorithms: NeuroFuzzy, ANFIS and Evolutionary Neural Nets.” was delivered by Dr.V.Ganapathy, Eminent Professor. The welcome address was given by Dr.I.Rajendran, Dean – Research & Innovation of Paavai Engineering College.
The resource person, during their special lecture, explained Evolutionary Neural Networks, encompassing topics such as encoding a set of weights in a chromosome, crossover and mutation in weight optimization, encoding network architecture and topology, the cycle of evolving a neural network topology. They also elaborated on Neuro-Fuzzy Systems, discussing how each layer correlates with steps in the fuzzy inference process, triangular activation functions, the learning process of a neuro-fuzzy system, training patterns, and the Eight-rule neuro-fuzzy system. Additionally, the lecture covered Ant Colony Optimization, the learning process of an ANFIS, naturally observed ant behavior, ANFIS’s four rules, the Ant Systems Algorithm for TSP, a simple TSP example, and how to construct subsequent sub-solutions, along with various applications.
The Heads of various departments, faculty members and students participated in the session and benefitted. The Vote of thanks was delivered by Dr.I.Rajendran, Dean – Research & Innovation in the end. Dr.K.Sundaramurthy, Head – IQAC, Prof/Mech and Dr.A.Rathinam, Prof/EEE took care of the arrangements required to organize the program.
