“…In the past few decades, many artificial intelligence technologies [17,18,19] have been applied to describe this nonlinear relationship, such as genetic algorithm, neurocomputing, fuzzy logic, and artificial neural network (ANN). Compared with other methods, artificial neural network (ANN) [20,21] is a promising technology in the performance prediction field because it can solve problems faster. ANN models [16,22,23,24,25] are well known for function approximation and feature extraction of highly complex nonlinear relationships without any physical background knowledge.…”
