Hierarchical approach to diagnosis using ANNs
Miona Andrejević Stošović, Vanco B. Litovski · 2008
Feed-forward artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been applied to defects diagnosis in an electronic circuit, and also a hierarchical approach is introduced in diagnosis procedure. The approach is presented on an example of a mixed-mode circuit that can represent every complex circuit. A voting system is created in order to distinguish which ANN's output is to be accepted as the final diagnostic statement. Three examples illustrate this approach, so validating the effectiveness of this procedure.
