Supervised neural network for encoding continuous curves

摘要

A supervised neural network for encoding continuous thermal curves comprises at least one input node operable to receive input data for predicting a temperature for a thermal curve at one of a plurality of times of day. The neural network further comprises a hidden layer of a plurality of hidden nodes, at least a portion of the hidden nodes communicably coupled to the one or more input nodes. The neural network also includes an output node communicably coupled to at least a portion of the hidden nodes and operable to predict thermal properties of a material or plurality of materials at the particular time of day.
