ABSTRACT

This project paper refers to experiments towards the classification of Iris plants with back propagation neural networks (BPNN). The problem concerns the identification of Iris plant species on the basis of plant attribute measurements. The paper outlines background information concerning the problem, making reference to statistics and value constraints identified in the course of the project. There is an outline of the algorithm of techniques used within the project, with descriptions of these techniques and their context. A discussion concerning the experimental setup is included, describing the implementation specifics of the project, preparatory actions, and the experimental results. The results generated by the networks constructed are presented, with the results being discussed and compared towards identification of the fittest architecture for the problem constrained by the data set. In conclusion, the fittest architecture is identified, and a justification concerning its selection offered.

Keywords : Iris, back propagation neural network, BPNN

INTRODUCTION

This project paper is related to the use of back propagation neural networks (BPNN) towards the identification of iris plants on the basis of the following measurements: sepal length, sepal width, petal length, and petal width. There is a comparison of the fitness of neural networks with input data normalised by column, row, sigmoid, and column constrained sigmoid normalisation. Also contained within the paper is an analysis of the performance results of back propagation neural networks with various numbers of hidden layer neurons, and differing number of cycles (epochs). The analysis of the performance of the neural networks is based on several criteria: incorrectly identified plants by training set (recall) and testing set (accuracy), specific error within

    (c) (i) Students were asked to draw conclusions from the results about the detection of the light stimulus. Quite a few, however, answered only in terms of the response by the shoot while some discussed the advantages of this response to the plant. A number of students also appeared to have misread “detection” and described the ‘direction’ of the light stimulus. Credit was given to any reference to the tip or top of the shoot detecting the light but not to ‘the part where the response occurs’ or ‘the side facing the light’.…

    For this, we had Species X, Y, Z and the Botana Curus on separate plastic cards with the flowers and seeds in them. We had to observe the differences in each species and see which looked most similar. Performing this test was important because since the characteristics of the plants all looked the same, it was crucial to find out what made each flower different on the inside. We also had to check the seeds because it showed how similar those looked too. For example, the seeds of the Botana Curus was yellow, brown with stripes, and had oval shaped but species X, it was round and red. The one that looked most like the seeds of Botana Curus was species Z because it had stripes too. Another test was the microscoopic internal structure of stems. We had to examine the slides of each species and compare circular or scattered arrangements in each slide. The microscope helped a bit because it allowed us to see the differences within the plant. The Botana Curus was scattered, like species Z but the others, X and Y, were…

    In this experiment we applied barcodes to plants in order to identify what species they are classified under. We also compared the DNA sequences of different plant species using the ribulose-biphosphate carboxylase gene (rbcL). We took samples from a plant called Chard and performed PCR, DNA amplification and quantification and sequenced the DNA. During the experiment, we hypothesized that this year’s “nonspinach” is Tatsoi, however, our results proved otherwise upon completion of a BLAST (see Fig 9). The completion of a BLAST showed that “nonspinach” is actually spinach (Spinacia Oleracea) and our sample was indeed Chard (Beta vulgaris, Fig 10). This confirms…

    Traditionally analysts in retail, manufacturing and many other industries use a variety of statistical methods to solve a range of problems in forecasting, data classification and pattern recognition. Some of these methods include regression analysis, logistic regression, survival and reliability analysis and Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) modeling. However, because each of these methods uses different software algorithms with different data assumptions, forecasters must learn to use an assortment of tools to solve problems and produce best solutions (answers). Neural networks can replace all of these methods and produce forecasts as accurate as or better than those available from other statistical methods. Advantages of neural networks are improved accuracy over traditional statistical methods, a unified approach to a wide variety of predictive analytics problems and they requires fewer statistical assumptions and can manage complex predictive analytics tasks in a more automated way, which saves time for analysts and programmers. With these it could help to for see the patterns of failures in heart, kidney or diabetics and find the solutions.…
