Heuristic modeling using recurrent neural networks: Simulated and real-data experiments

The focus of this paper is on the problems of system identification, process modeling and time series forecasting which can be met during the use of locally recurrent neural networks in heuristic modeling technique. However, the main interest of this paper is to survey the properties of the dynamic neural processor which is developed by the author. Moreover, a comparative study of selected recurrent neural architectures in modeling tasks is given. The results of experiments showed that some processes tend to be chaotic and in some cases it is reasonable to use soft computing models for fault diagnosis and control.
