2020 IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks  part of  WCCI 2020

Glasgow, Scotland, UK July 19-24, 2020, IJCNN’2020

Special Session Hybrid Neural Intelligent Models and Applications

Organized by: Prof. Patricia Melin, Prof. Eduardo Gomez-Ramirez

 

 

Description

Soft Computing (SC) methodologies at the moment include: (at least) Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic, Genetic Algorithms and Chaos Theory. Each of these methodologies has advantages and disadvantages and many problems have been solved. However, many real-world complex and industrial problems require the integration of several of these techniques to really achieve the efficiency and accuracy needed in practice. This session will include papers dealing with methods for integrating the different SC methodologies in solving real-world problems. The Special Session will consider applications on the following areas: Robotic Dynamic Systems, Non-linear Plants, Manufacturing Systems, Pattern Recognition, Medicine and Time Series Prediction. Hybrid Intelligent models offer advantages when a prudent combination of methods is performed and in this case, can be a powerful tool in solving complex problems. This Special Session is being organized as one of the main activities of the Task Force on Hybrid Intelligent Systems of the NNTC.
