Artificial neural networks in the solution of inverse electromagnetic field problems
S. Ratnajeevan H. Hoole · IEEE Transactions on Magnetics · 1993
The use of artificial neural networks in the solution of inverse electromagnetic field problems is investigated. It is shown that artificial neural networks, while being no panacea, have a role to play in a limited domain of applications-that is, while it is ineffective to train networks to cover a broad class of devices, it is indeed possible to develop well-trained networks that function effectively over a narrow range of performance of a particular class of device. Particularly if one knows the desired geometry approximately and uses training sets around this geometry, simple neural networks with a few training sets can be used to do an effective job. However, neural networks cannot be used efficiently without such prior knowledge.>
