The fracture problems of medium carbon steel (MCS) under extra-low cycle bend torsion loading were studied using artificial neural networks (ANN) in this paper. The training data were used in the formation of training set of ANN. The ANN model exhibited excellent comparison with the experimental results. It was concluded that predicted fracture design parameters by the trained neural network model seem more reasonable compared to approximate methods. It is possible to claim that, ANN is fairly promising prediction technique if properly used. Training ANN model was introduced at first. And then the Training data for the development of the neural network model was obtained from the experiments. The input parameters, notch depth and tip radius of the notch, and the output, the cycle times of fracture were used during the network training. The neural network architecture is designed. The ANN model was developed using back propagation architecture with three layers jump connections, where every layer was connected or linked to every previous layer. The number of hidden neurons was determined according to special formula. The performance of system is summarized at last. In order to facilitate the comparisons of predicted values, the error evaluation and mean relative error are obtained. The result show that the training model has good performance, and the experimental data and predicted data from ANN are in good coherence.

The discovery of new inorganic materials in unexplored chemical spaces necessitates calculating total energy quickly and with sufficient accuracy. Machine learning models that provide such a capability for both ground-state (GS) and higher-energy structures would be instrumental in accelerating the screening for new materials over vast chemical spaces. Here, we develop a unique graph neural network model to accurately predict the total energy of both GS and higher-energy hypothetical structures. We use ~16,500 density functional theory calculated total energy from the NREL Materials Database and ~11,000 in-house generated hypothetical structures to train our model, thus making sure that the model is not biased towards either GS or higher-energy structures. We also demonstrate that our model satisfactorily ranks the structures in the correct order of their energies for a given composition. Furthermore, we present a thorough error analysis to explain several failure modes of the model, which highlights both prediction outliers and occasional inconsistencies in the training data. By peeling back layers of the neural network model, we are able to derive chemical trends by analyzing how the model represents learned structures and properties.

If domain knowledge can be integrated as an appropriate constraint, it is highly possible that the generalization performance of a neural network model can be improved. We propose Sensitivity Direction Learning (SDL) for learning about the neural network model with user-specified relationships (e.g., monotonicity, convexity) between each input feature and the output of the model by imposing soft shape constraints which represent domain knowledge. To impose soft shape constraints, SDL uses a novel penalty function, Sensitivity Direction Error (SDE) function, which returns the squared error between coefficients of the approximation curve for each Individual Conditional Expectation plot and coefficient constraints which represent domain knowledge. The effectiveness of our concept was verified by simple experiments. Similar to those such as L2 regularization and dropout, SDL and SDE can be used without changing neural network architecture. We believe our algorithm can be a strong candidate for neural network users who want to incorporate domain knowledge.

Viscosity is an important property of mold fluxes for steel continuous casting. However, direct measurement of viscosity of multi-component systems in a broad range of temperatures and compositions is an onerous work and has some limitations. This paper developed a model using the back propagation (BP) neural network to describe the viscosity of fluorine-free mold fluxes. The BP neural network model was developed and validated using 70 experimental values of viscosity of fluorine-free mold fluxes CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-B2O3-Na2O-TiO2-MgO-Li2O-MnO-ZrO2; 51 of them were used for developing the neural network model and the rest 19 viscosity data for the model validation. Calculated viscosities were in a good agreement with the experimental data. Based on the developed model, the effects of temperature and composition on the viscosity of fluorine-free fluxes were predicted and discussed.

Molecular structures of pyridopyrimidines derivatives as known as dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitors were investigated by using the neural network method. Based on the molecular connectivity, molecular connectivity index and molecular electronegativity distance vectors of 32 pyridopyrimidine derivatives were obtained. Among these parameters, three optimized structural parameters 1χ3χ and M17 as the input neurons of the artificial neural network were selected by step-wise regression. Then a 3:4:1 network architecture was employed and a satisfying neural network model for predicting anticancer activity (lg1/C) was constructed with the back-propagation (BP) algorithm. The total correlation coefficient R and the standard deviation S were 0.925 and 0.336 respectively that showed significantly nonlinear relationships between lg1/C and three structural parameters. It was concluded that the predictions of BP neural network are better than those of methods in the literatures.

Gomoku is an ancient board game. The traditional approach to solving the Gomoku game is to apply tree search on a Gomoku game tree. Although the rules of Gomoku are straightforward, the game tree complexity is enormous. Unlike many other board games such as chess and Shogun, the Gomoku board state is more intuitive. That is to say, analyzing the visual patterns on a Gomoku game board is fundamental to play this game. In this paper, we designed a deep convolutional neural network model to help the machine learn from the training data (collected from human players). Based on this original neural network model, we made some changes and get two variant neural networks. We compared the performance of the original neural network with its variants in our experiments. Our original neural network model got 69% accuracy on the training data and 38% accuracy on the testing data. Because the decision made by the neural network is intuitive, we also designed a hard-coded convolution-based Gomoku evaluation function to assist the neural network in making decisions. This hybrid Gomoku artificial intelligence (AI) further improved the performance of a pure neural network-based Gomoku AI.
