Model input structures

Tian et at [ 1 ] used stacked networks, each of them containing six different networks, for modeling of MMA polymerization. Individual networks of the stack have different model input structures, training data, topologies and initial weights, so that the different networks could perform differently in different operating regions and learn different parts of the problem to form the complementary stacked output. 

Input Errors. Errors in model input often constitute one of the most significant causes of discrepancies between observed data and model predictions. As shown in Figure 2, the natural system receives the "true" input (usually as a "driving function") whereas the model receives the "observed" input as detected by some measurement method or device. Whenever a measurement is made possible source of error is introduced. System inputs usually vary continuously both in space and time, whereas measurements are usually point values, or averages of multiple point values, and for a particular time or accumulated over a time period. Although continuous measurement devices are in common use, errors are still possible, and essentially all models require transformation of a continuous record into discrete time and space scales acceptable to the model formulation and structure. 

The model as structured specifies pressure (in bars) as input. To convert from pressure (P) to depth (D) of ice or seawater, we used the equation...

In our short survey of the computational techniques available for investigating TM compounds we first mention molecular mechanics (Chapter 3). It may seem humble by the standards of the quantum mechanical ab initio, semiempirical and DFT methods (Chapters 5, 6 and 8, respectively) but MM is useful for obtaining input structures for submission to one of those calculations, may even provide in itself useful information, and it is, of course, extremely fast. Indeed, a recent book on the modelling of inorganic compounds, mainly TM species, is devoted very largely to molecular mechanics and a program specially parameterized for TM compounds, Momec3 [105],... 

A methodology that takes into account domain knowledge and its limitations in qualifying or quantifying (or both) the uncertainty in the structure of a scenario, structure of a model, inputs to a model and outputs of a model. 

The Input Translator is completely table driven. This means that all of the information needed to process input statements (such as names of keywords, default values of data items, etc.) is stored in tables in a file called the System Definition File. Therefore, it is easy to add keywords or change defaults by changing entries in the System Definition File. In addition to the Input Language tables, almost any "changeable" information related to Input Translation is stored in the System Definition File. This includes unit conversion tables, attribute descriptions, physical property option models, data structure, unit operation model data, and stream requirements, etc. Thus it is easy to add new system parameters without changing any code in the Input Translator. 

Figure 4 illustrates the "standard" model generated by CAMSEQ/M. This structure may be saved for later use, and/or be used as an input structure for a conformational study. The structure may later be used as a substructure for studying other congeners, by modifying its substituents. For example, amphetamine may easily be constructed by adding the alpha-methyl group to the ethylamine sidechain. The stereochemistry of the molecule is determined by the order of input of the substituents. 

Standardized directory structures for source code, documentation hies, hnal executables, conhguration hies, and model inputs/outputs allow tracking the software development process and also help in easily integrating multiple, independently developed modules. Standardized directory structures allow easy detection of con-hicts in the names of functions, scripts, or conhguration hies.
