Conference Object Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 15A Comparative Study on Neural Network Based Soccer Result Prediction(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2007) Aslan, Burak Galip; İnceoğlu, Mustafa MuratThis study mainly remarks the efficiency of black-box modeling capacity of neural networks in the case of forecasting soccer match results, and opens up several debates on the nature of prediction and selection of input parameters. The selection of input parameters is a serious problem in soccer match prediction systems based on neural networks or statistical methods. Several input vector suggestions are implemented in literature which is mostly based on direct data from weekly charts. Here in this paper, two different input vector parameters have been tested via learning vector quantization networks in order to emphasize the importance of input parameter selection. The input vector parameters introduced in this study are plain and also meaningful when compared to other studies. The results of different approaches presented in this study are compared to each other, and also compared with the results of other neural network approaches and statistical methods in order to give an idea about the successful prediction performance. The paper is concluded with discussions about the nature of soccer match forecasting concept that may draw the interests of researchers willing to work in this area.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1The Effects of Bias, Population Migration and Credit Assignment in Optimizing Trait-Based Heterogeneous Populations(CSREA Press, 2005) Gezgin, Erkin; Sevil, Hakkı Erhan; Özdemir, SerhanPopulation based search algorithms are becoming the mainstay in nonlinear problems with discontinuous search domains. The generic name of genetic algorithms (GAs) basicly applies to all population based methods. GAs have spawned many versions to suit new applications. Some of these alterations have reached such points that the algorithms may no longer be called GAs. One similar study may be found in [1], in which a perturbation based search algorithm was proposed, called Responsive Perturbation Algorithm (RPA). In a later work [2], instead of a population of homogenous individuals, as is the case for generic GAs, a population of heterogeneous individuals has been set to compete. Replacing the set of winner parents, the fittest individual is made the parent to yield offspring. The current work is now called, with the supplements, trait-based heterogeneous populations plus (TbHP+). Credit assignment and bias concepts in the form of immunity and instinct has been added to provide the populations with a more efficient guidance. Simulations were made through an RBF neural network training, as it was carried out in earlier works, mentioned above, for comparison. Results were prsented at the end as network testing errors which showed further improvement with TbHP+.
