A Novel Input Variable Selection and Structure Optimization Algorithm for Multilayer Perceptron-Based Soft Sensors

A novel optimization algorithm for multilayer perceptron- (MLP-) based soft sensors is proposed in this paper. The proposed approach integrates input variable selection and hidden layer optimization on MLP into a constrained optimization problem. The nonnegative garrote (NNG) is implemented to perfo...
