Abstract: One of the most promising methods of interacting with small portable computing devices, such as personal digital assistants, is the use of handwriting. In order to make this communication method more natural, we proposed to visually observe the writing process on ordinary paper and to automatically recover the pen trajectory from numerical tablet sequences. On the basis of this work we developed handwriting recognition system based on visual coding and genetic algorithm. The system was specialized on Arabic script. In this paper we will present the different steps of the handwriting recognition system. We focus our contribution on genetic algorithm method.

Abstract: Temperature modelling of a homogeneous medium, when this medium is radiated by therapeutic ultrasound, is a fundamental step in order to analyse the performance of estimators for in-vivo modelling. In this paper punctual and invasive temperature estimation in a homogeneous medium is employed. Radial Basis Functions Neural Networks (RBFNNs) are used as estimators. The best fitted RBFNNs are selected using a Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA). An absolute average error of 0.0084 ºC was attained with these estimators.

Title: Assessing the Reliability of Complex Networks through Hybrid Intelligent Systems
Author(s): D. Torres,
C. Rocco
Abstract: This paper describes the application of Hybrid Intelligent Systems in a new domain: reliability of complex networks. The reliability is assessed by employing two algorithms (TREPAN and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS)), both belonging to the Hybrid Intelligent Systems paradigm. TREPAN is a technique to extract linguistic rules from a trained Neural Network, whereas ANFIS is a method that combines fuzzy inference systems and neural networks. In the experiment presented, the structure function of the complex network analyzed is properly emulated by training both models on a subset of possible system configurations, generated by a Monte Carlo simulation and an appropriate Evaluation Function. The experiments show that, both approaches are able to successfully describe the network status through a set of rules, which allows the reliability assessment

Title: Autonomous Behavior of Computational Agents
Author(s): R. Vaculin,
R. Neruda
Abstract: In this paper we present an architecture for decision making of software agents that allows the agent to behave autonomously. Our target area is computational agents - encapsulating various neural networks, genetic algorithms, and similar methods - that are expected to solve problems of different nature within an environment of a hybrid computational multi-agent system. The architecture is based on the vertically-layered and belief-desire-intention architectures. Several experiments with computational agents were conducted to demonstrate the benefits of the architecture.

Title: Neural Network Generating Hidden Markov Chain
Author(s): J. Koutnik,
M. Snorek
Abstract: In this paper we introduce technique how a neural network can generate a Hidden Markov Chain. We use a neural network called Temporal Information Categorizing and Learning Map. The network is an enhanced version of standard Categorizing and Learning Module (CALM). Our modifications include Euclidean metrics instead of weighted sum formerly used for categorization of the input space. Construction of a Hidden Markov Chain is provided by turning steady weight internal synapses to associative learning synapses. Result obtained form testing on simple artificial data promise applicability in a real problem domain. We present a visualization technique of the obtained Hidden Markov Chain and a method how the results can be validated. Experiments are being performed.
