“…The ANN method has a wide range of applications, such as predicting the degradation of methyl green by the Fenton process (Taoufik et al, 2021), classifying electromyography signals (Arı et al, 2019), estimating wind speed (Fang & Wang, 2017), optimizing thermal performance in residential unit design (Wang et al, 2021), modelling the severity of traffic accidents (Wen et al, 2021), predicting the damage state of reinforced concrete buildings (Harirchian et al, 2021), predicting physicochemical properties (Rasam et al, 2019), estimating crop yields (Park et al, 2005), calculating solar radiation (Elizonda et al, 1994) and estimating soil temperature (Kara & Cemek, 2019). From these studies, it is seen that the ANNs are used for learning, association, classification, generalization, prediction, feature recognition and optimization like human intelligence (Şahin et al, 2018; Schmidhuber, 2015).…”
