| Neural Network Course a Resounding Success!
We successfully completed another Neural Network and NeuroSolutions Course in early November. We always enjoy getting to know our customers better, especially when it gives us a chance to discuss their applications. Once again, we received excellent reviews from our attendees and have never had anyone tell us they would not recommend our course to others.

| Customer Interview: Teboho Nyareli - Helping to Save Lives in the Mining Industry!
Teboho Nyareli has worked at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in South Africa for 3-years as a research engineer specifically doing research for the mining industry. Mr. Nyareli obtained his Masters degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Cape Town in South Africa.

In the mining industry, most of the underground injuries and fatalities are due to rock falls (i.e. fall of hanging wall/roof). The method that has been used for many years in the mines when determining the integrity of the hanging wall is to tap the hanging wall with a sounding bar and listen to the sound emitted. An experienced miner can differentiate an intact/solid hanging wall from a detached/loose hanging wall by the sound that is emitted. This method is subjective. CSIR has developed a device that assists any miner in making an objective decision when determining the integrity of the hanging wall. A trained neural network model is embedded into the device. The device then records the sound emitted when a hanging wall is tapped. The sound is then preprocessed before being input into a trained neural network model and the trained model classifies the hanging wall as either intact or detached.

 NS Tip Box: Receiver Operating Curves (ROC)
NeuroSolutions Tip Boxes have gone high-tech with all new videos to watch! This video demonstrates using ROC thresholds in NeuroSolutions to improve classification neural network models.

 |
What is a Receiver Operating Curve?
Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) matrices are used to show how changing the detection threshold affects detections versus false alarms. If the threshold is set too high then the system will miss too many detections. Conversely, if the threshold is set too low then there will be too many false alarms.
