  1. ECE 539 Final Project ANN approach to help manufacturing of a better car Prabhdeep Singh Virk Fall 2010

  2. Car buying process • Read reviews, consumer reports from various news agencies. • Consider rankings provided by US News, JD Power etc. • Ask colleagues and friends for recommendation.

  3. Good car – owner’s perspective • Exterior and interior design? • Features like acceleration, speed, fuel economy etc? • Safety features ? • Reliability ? • Overall Price?

  4. How to make Good car ? • Need to know what features are making it a good car. • Predict what are car consumers want and expectations? • Possible features/design responsible for high ranking. • Changes/improvements that can affect the overall ranking of car.

  5. When expectation don’t match? • Car company loose customers due to lack of interest in their product. • Decline in sales cause catastrophic effects in terms of loosing jobs and revenue and effecting economy. • In fact failing to innovate and declining sales over past decade was two major cause of automotive industry crisis. • In this project I try to implement reverse mapping of accurately predicting the car success based on features using ANN. • Ann algorithms are proven very successful in pattern classification based problems.

  6. Pattern Classification using ANN • Car Evaluation data from UC-Irvine data repository. • 6 Car features • Price Over all. • Buying price. • Maintenance price • Technical characteristics • # of doors • Capacity • Luggage boot size • Safety • 4 output classes. • Unacceptable (1210 ) • Acceptable ( 384 ) • Good ( 69 ) • Very good. ( 65 ) • Algorithms tested: • K Nearest Neighbors • Multi-layered Precptron

  7. K Nearest Neighbor implementation. • Tested with 1 – 15 neighbors • Increasing # of neighbors have adverse effect.

  8. Multi-layered Precptron implementation. Data Pre-processing: • Scaling input features on [-5,5] scale. • Random train/test datasets, with fixed minimum samples(10) / class. MLP configuration: • Epochs = 1000 • Learning rate = 0.05 • Momentum = 0.8 • # of hidden layers = 2 • # of neurons/ hidden layer = 6 • Steepest Descent Gradient.

  9. Results after 10 iterations: • Success Rate (%)= 90.5093 - 95.6019 • Mean success rate(%) = 92.4306 • Standard Deviation(%)= 1.4355 • Resultant Confusion Matrix: • 294 7 1 0 • 5 87 5 1 • 0 4 12 2 • 0 3 1 10

  10. Error reflecting role of learning rate and momentum.

  11. Conclusion • K-Nearest neighbor is ineffective due to the difference in class distribution. • MLP performed well, as long as it is trained with at least 10 samples of each class. • Feature scaling improves classification rate. • Classification rate improves with increase in neurons. • Momentum helps converging faster. • High learning rate >0.5 case Error to oscillate. • Its possible to predict a car success ranking based on the features available.
