Estas estructuras han sido ampliamente utilizadas en la caracterización de otros materiales como cemento, hormigón, algunos metales o la madera. El perceptrón multicapa, una de las redes neuronales artificiales más populares, se ha convertido en los últimos tiempos en una potente herramienta de modelización en numerosos campos que van desde las finanzas, a la ingeniería o la medicina. Esta herramienta consigue mejorar sustancialmente cualquier modelo previo propuesto para modelizar cualquier sistema independientemente de la naturaleza de éste, con la ventaja añadida de que no necesitan ninguna suposición previa sobre la estructura de los datos Sin embargo, la red sólo proporciona el valor de la salida sin ninguna información acerca de su precisión. La obtención de la incertidumbre de salida es importante, no sólo porque proporciona un intervalo de confianza sobre el valor de salida, sino porque da una idea de la calidad del método de medida. Esta incertidumbre procede de dos fuentes, por un lado el ruido inherente a los valores de entrada y por otro la simplificación del fenómeno que todo modelo matemático supone. En este trabajo se va a desarrollar una nueva metodología para obtener tanto la incertidumbre como los intervalos de confianza de la salida de un modelo específico de red neuronal, el perceptrón multicapa, basándose en el método de simulación de Montecarlo especificado en Suplemento 1 de la GUM para posteriormente aplicarlo a la modelizacion del ensayo de resistencia a compression del concreto. Descriptores: Concreto de alta resistencia, red neuronal artificial, resistencia a compresión, incertidumbre, Método de Monte Carlo Abstract Major advances have been made with the use of ANNs in recent years in industrial process control, mainly because they are capable of modeling complex relations, unlike conventional systems, and can adequately predict whether or not the characteristics of a product are in line with specifications. They have been widely used to characterize other materials such as cement, concrete, certain metals or wood. The multilayer perceptron, one of the most popular artificial neural networks, has become a powerful modeling tool in numerous fields, ranging from finances to engineering and medicine. This tool is capable of considerably improving on all previous models proposed for modeling any system, regardless of its nature, with the added advantage that no prior assumption on the structure of the data is necessary. However, the network provides only the output value, with no information about its accuracy. Obtaining the output uncertainty is important, not only because it provides a coverage interval for the output value, but also because it indicates the quality of the measuring method. This uncertainty comes from two sources: firstly, the inherent uncertainty in the input data, and secondly, the simplification of the phenomenon involved in any mathematical model. This study develops a new methodology for obtaining both the output uncertainty and coverage intervals of a specific neural network model - the multilayer perceptron - based on the Monte Carlo simulation method indicated in Supplement 1 to the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM), in order to use it when modelling the test of resistance to compression of concrete. Keywords: High performance concrete, artificial neural network, resistance to compression, uncertainty, Monte Carlo method.

Artificial neural networks have become a powerful modeling tool. However, although they obtain an output with very good accuracy, they provide no information about the uncertainty of the network or its coverage intervals. This study describes the application of the Monte Carlo method to obtain the output uncertainty and coverage intervals of a particular type of artificial neural network: the multilayer perceptron.

Deanship of scientific research established by the King Abdulaziz University provides some research programs for its staff and researchers and encourages them to submit proposals in this regard. Distinct research study (DRS) is one of these programs. It is available all the year and the King Abdulaziz University (KAU) staff can submit more than one proposal at the same time up to three proposals. The rules of the DSR program are simple and easy so it contributes in increasing the international rank of KAU. The authors are offered financial and moral reward after publishing articles from these proposals in Thomson-ISI journals. In this paper, multiplayer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural network (ANN) is employed to determine the factors that have more effect on the number of ISI published articles. The proposed study used real data of the finished projects from 2011 to April 2019.

This paper proposes to develop a model-based Monte Carlo method for computationally determining the best mean squared error of training for an artificial neural network with feedforward architecture. It is applied for a particular non-linear classification problem of input/output patterns in a computational environment with abundant data. The Monte Carlo method allows computationally checking that balanced data are much better than non-balanced ones for an artificial neural network to learn by means of supervised learning. The major contribution of this investigation is that, the proposed model can be tested by analogy, considering also the fraud detection problem in credit cards, where the amount of training patterns used are high.
