 Neural Network Methods



The concept of a neural network (NN) is to develop a simple mathematical model of the human brain. A neural network is expressed as the network model that consists of neurons and weights which connect each neuron. This network is the function that derives the result corresponding to the teaching process from input data.

The learnig process adjusts the weights of connections between neurons for the purpose of getting the output relevant to specified input signals. If you want to make the property estimation system, the molecular geometry information are used for the input data. The training data, such as well-known molecular geometry information and properties, are used for the learnig process.

The trained neural network is the function that extracts the relationship between molecular geometry information and physical property values. You can calculate the unkown molecular properties which are not used for the learnig process and get it's estimation properties based on the relationship that is learned.

Because the neural network system is represented by a non-linear function, it can provide efficient estimation functions even if there are difficult properties, which can't be represented by a linear function like multiple regression.
