Abstract

The article proposes an approach based on the concept of Artificial Intelligence for the categorization of urban areas of Internet content by corporate customers. The applicability of different neural apparatus was analyzed as well as three-layer Backpropagation Neural Networks (BPN) and four-layer Probabilistic Neural Networks (PNN) as the most suitable for the purpose of the study were selected. The synthesis of BPN architectures for Internet traffic identification was carried out according to a different number of computing units in the hidden layers with hyperbolic tangent sigmoid, log-sigmoid and linear transfer functions. The variations of a set of specific criteria were examined as Accuracy, Mean-Squared Error, Mean Absolute Error, Correlation coefficients, etc. The selection of PNNs against the defined quality indicators was based on a stepwise increase of the spread indicator of the Kernel functions in a Radial-Basis (RB) structural layer by analogy similar to that applied to BPNs. In the research processes, high levels of neural recognition indicators were established in processing with the Incoming flows of Internet Packages in an Accuracy of over 90.00%.
