| Customer Interview: Aytac Guven - Time Savings and Greater Correlation
Aytac Guven works as a Research Assistant at the University of Gaziantep in Turkey. Mr. Guven's educational background extends from a Bachelors and Masters in Civil Engineering and is currently a doctoral candidate for Civil Engineering all from the University of Gaziantep.

Mr. Guven has been using NeuroSolutions for the past two years for the prediction and explicit formulation of local scour downstream of hydraulic structures (i.e. bridge piers,spillways, grade-control structures) as a function of inflow conditions, soil properties and scour geometry. Researchers have found that they are "saving a lot of time compared to other conventional numerical methods" and that "using neural network modeling is much more powerful than other prediction methods". Aytac generally achieves equal or greater than 99% correlation with experimental results!

| NS Tip Box: Using the L2TemporalCriterion for Time-Series Prediction Problems
Back in the early stages of development of our TradingSolutions product, we enhanced NeuroSolutions by adding a new Error Criteria component called the L2TemporalCriterion (L2T). This component allows you to give more weight to certain types of errors which pertain to time-series prediction problems such as financial forecasting.
|
|
|
Enabling the Features
Before going into the details of the options available with this component, let's cover the steps involved in swapping out the default L2Criterion with the L2T:
- Open your existing temporal network, or create a new “Prediction” network with the NeuralExpert or a new “Time-Lag Recurrent” or “Recurrent” network with the NeuralBuilder.
- If you do not have the ErrorCriteria toolbar visible, open the Customize dialog (from the Tools menu) and check the “ErrorCriteria Components” checkbox (click OK to close).
- Left-click on the “L2 Temp” toolbar button so that the cursor changes to a stamp icon.
- Hold the cursor over the L2 component (the rightmost Axon) and left-click. The L2 component should now be replaced with an L2T component.
- Right-click on the L2T icon and select “Properties” to display the inspector for the component.
