Importance of input data normalization for the application of neural networks to complex industrial problems
Abstract
Recent advances in artificial intelligence have allowed the application of such technologies in real industrial problems. We have studied the application of backpropagation neural networks to several problems of estimation and identification in nuclear power plants. These problems often have been reported to be very time-consuming in the training phase. Among the different approaches suggested to ease the backpropagation training process, input data pretreatment has been pointed out, although no specific procedure has been proposed. We have found that input data normalization with certain criteria, prior to a training process, is crucial to obtain good results as well as to fasten significantly the calculations. This paper shows how data normalization affects the performance error of parameter estimators trained to predict the value of several variables of a PWR nuclear power plant. The criteria needed to accomplish such data normalization are also described.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
