Abutment scour is a complex three-dimensional phenomenon, which is one of the leading causes of marine structure damage. Structural integrity is potentially attainable through the precise estimation of local scour depth. Due to the high complexity of scouring hydrodynamics, existing regression-based relations cannot make accurate predictions. Therefore, this study presented a novel expansion of extreme learning machines (ELM) to predict abutment scour depth (ds) in clear water conditions. The model was built using the relative flow depth (h/L), excess abutment Froude number (Fe), abutment shape factor (Ks), and relative sediment size (d50/L). A wide range of experimental samples was collected from the literature, and data was utilized to develop the ELM model. The ELM model reliability was evaluated based on the estimation results and several statistical indices. According to the results, the sigmoid activation function (correlation coefficient, R = 0.97; root mean square error, RMSE = 0.162; mean absolute percentage error, MAPE = 7.69; and scatter index, SI = 0.088) performed the best compared with the hard limit, triangular bias, radial basis, and sine activation functions. Eleven input combinations were considered to investigate the impact of each dimensionless variable on the abutment scour depth. It was found that ds/L = f (Fe, h/L, d50/L, Ks) was the best ELM model, indicating that the dimensional analysis of the original data properly reflected the underlying physics of the problem. Also, the absence of one variable from this input combination resulted in a significant accuracy reduction. The results also demonstrated that the proposed ELM model significantly outperformed the regression-based equations derived from the literature. The ELM model presented a fundamental equation for abutment scours depth prediction. Based on the simulation results, it appeared the ELM model could be used effectively in practical engineering applications of predicting abutment scour depth. The estimated uncertainty of the developed ELM model was calculated and compared with the conventional and artificial intelligence-based models. The lowest uncertainty with a value of ±0.026 was found in the proposed model in comparison with ±0.50 as the best uncertainty of the other models.

“…Decision tree and fast learning neural-networks (FLNNs) are adopted as the classification algorithms in this study. The motivation of using decision tree and neural networks here is that both techniques are powerful and popular tools for classification and prediction [14][15][16][17][18][19], and there are lots of solutions on VLSI chips which allow both techniques to be hardware-computed.…”

a b s t r a c tIn the past, the utilization of the limb prosthesis has improved the daily life of amputees or patients with movement disorders. However, a leg-amputee has to take a series of training after wearing a limb prosthesis, and the training results determine whether a patient can use the limb prosthesis correctly in her/his daily life. Limb prosthesis vendors thus desire to offer the leg-amputee a complete and wellorganized training process, but they often fail to do so owing to the factors such as the limited support of human resource and financial condition of the amputee. This work proposes a prosthesis training system that the amputees can borrow or buy from the limb prosthesis vendors and train themselves at home. Instant feedback messages provided by the prosthesis training system are used to correct their walking postures during the self-training process. An embedded chip is used as a core to establish a body area sensor network for the prosthesis training system. RFID readers and tags are employed to acquire the 3D positioning information of the amputee's limbs in this work to assist in diagnosing the amputee's walking problem. A series of simulations were conducted and the simulation results exhibit the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed prosthesis training system.

“…In the eld of mathematical modeling, using both of CFD and soft computing techniques was reported by Xiao et al [11].Nowadays, by advancing the soft computing techniques in the most areas related to hydraulic engineering, investigators have tried to use these techniques for predicting the scouring phenomena [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], speci cally scour depth at downstream of ip bucket. In this regard, using the Arti cial Neural Networks (ANNs), Genetic Programming (GP), Support Vector machine and M5 Model Tree, Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH), and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) can be mentioned [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. Based on the reports, the precision of all the soft computing techniques was much more than the empirical formulas.…”

Abstract. In this paper, modeling the scour downstream of a ip bucket of spillways was considered using empirical formulas, soft computing techniques such as multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network, and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS). For this purpose, 95 data sets were collected with regard to the most a ective parameters on the scouring phenomena at downstream of spillways. During the MLP model development, it was found that the two transfer functions, such as log-sigmoid and radial basis, had very suitable performances for predicting the desired scouring phenomena. The results of MARS model showed that this model with coe cient of determination 0.99 and 0.91 during the development and testing stages, respectively, had suitable performance for modeling the scouring depth at downstream of ip bucket structure. The results of gamma test and MARS model indicated that q=(gd 3 w ), R=d w , and H=d w were the most a ective parameters on the scouring phenomena.
