“…Previously intrigued by the relationship between the coarse and fine models in space mapping, Rayas-Sánchez was inspired by that visit to pioneer the productive connection between space mapping and artificial neural networks for RF and microwave modeling and design optimization [23], [27], [121], [122], [123]. Fruitful collaboration with Q. J. Zhang's group at Carleton University was key for the wide development of neural space mapping approaches, well-beyond Bandler's research group [29], [124], [125], [126], [127], [128], [129], [130], [131], [132], [133], [134], [135].…”
