Artificial neural network potentials (ANNP). Neural networks (NN) are used more and more for a wide array of applications. Here we are concerned with a more narrow application; their use in fitting. In particular the output layer, or node, provides an energy as a function of the input layer.

Activation functions

Example

The output of a feedforward NN, having a single layer of hidden neurons, each having a sigmoid activation function and a linear output neuron, is given by:

Applications

Since the early work of Blank et al. [1] ANNS have been sucessfully developed for water [2], Al3+ ions dissolved in water [3], aqueous NaOH solutions [4], gold nanoparticles [5] as well as may other systems [6][7].
