Introduction to Polynomial Neural Network and it's application in Engineering Optimization




Engineering Optimization focuses on developing algorithms and techniques to find the best possible solution for complex engineering problems, such as optimizing the design of structures or processes. On the other hand, Polynomial Neural Networks explore the use of polynomial activation functions in neural networks, which can enhance their learning capabilities and improve their performance in certain tasks. Both areas contribute to advancing the capabilities of artificial intelligence and have significant applications in various industries. 

The above video walkthrough tries to demonstrate how to use the advancement of polynomial neural networks in engineering optimization.  For example, in the field of civil engineering, optimization techniques can be applied to design more efficient and cost-effective buildings or bridges. By using algorithms and mathematical models, engineers can analyze different design variables such as material selection, structural configurations, and construction methods to find the optimal solution that meets specific criteria and constraints. On the other hand, Polynomial Neural Networks have shown promise in areas such as image recognition, natural language processing, and pattern classification. By leveraging the power of polynomial activation functions, these networks can capture more complex relationships and non-linearities in the data, leading to improved accuracy and performance in these tasks. Overall, the combination of optimization techniques and Polynomial Neural Networks offers a powerful toolkit for engineers and data scientists to tackle complex problems and push the boundaries.

How to calculate Water Quality Index considering the source type,intended use and climate ?

This WQI's primary innovation is that it calculates the WQI based on the type of source from which water is collected, the WQI's intended use, and the local climate at the time the samples were retrieved. The source or location from where the sample is collected has an impact on the quality of water which the index must incorporate at the time of calculation. The purpose for which the water quality index is calculated changes the weightage of the importance of the different quality parameters. For example, if WQI is calculated for knowing how drinkable the sample is then the weightage of coliform will increase compared to other parameters as the presence of coliform in the drinking water can not be permitted. The climate of the area from where the water is collected is another criterion to consider at the time of calculating the WQI. Based on the climate also the weightage of water quality parameters will vary. There will be a difference in the weight of importance if the sampl...

Five Most Extreme Hydrologic Events that changed the World

Typhoon Tip, Philipines(Collected from : CSMonitor ) Devastating storms, severe flood, acute famine conditions, etc. hydrological events of extreme nature has changed human history. Any event which is not normal is known as an abnormal event. In the case of hydrology, an event that has a return period of more than 100 years is considered Extreme. According to Herring(2020) of Climate.gov, "An extreme event is a time and place in which weather, climate, or environmental conditions—such as temperature, precipitation, drought, or flooding—rank above a threshold value near the upper or lower ends of the range of historical measurements." Though the threshold is not objective, few researchers have defined "extreme events as those that occur in the highest or lowest 5% or 10% of historical measurements". Some have described events by their deviation from the mean, or by their occurrence interval.   Here the most severe five extreme hydrologic events were discussed which ...

Five open source free hydrologic models that you can use to model runoff of micro to macro watersheds

The principal objective of hydrologic models is to forecast the runoff of a surface water body, especially dendritic systems like rivers, streams, etc. The inputs to these models are generally Rainfall/Precipitation, Soil Characteristics, and other Climatic parameters like evapotranspiration, humidity, etc. LULC and geo-morphology are also used as the required input parameters of the hydrologic models. Both input and output of these models are temporally as well as spatially variable. Now the resolution varies with different models. Some models consider all the sub-basins to be a single watershed and determine the output based on the characteristics of this single watershed(lumped).In contrast, some other models will consider the {impact|effect} of each of the sub-basins on the central outflow of the watershed(distributed).In a few models, the entire watershed is divided into grids or units of uniform dimension. However, the accuracy is highest for the models, which considers the {impa...
