“…In opposition to the traditional statistical methods, ML tools offer a distinct opportunity to model complex relationships between several input and output data, thus gaining valuable insights on the process of interest and allowing accurate predictions. Historically, ML tools, such as artificial neural networks (ANN), have been predominantly used to optimize formulation composition and/or processing parameters, based on product properties that are routinely assessed (e.g., drug release profile, tablet disintegration time, hardness and friability) as indicators of a formulation performance [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. In addition, some review papers also highlight various applications of ML methods in the development of solid dosage forms [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ].…”
