Improving the prediction of bitumen’s density and thermal expansion by optimizing artificial neural networks with Optuna and TensorFlow by Eli I. Assaf, Xueyan Liu, Sandra Erkens

“…However, due to their decision-tree structure, RFRs lack true predictive capabilities, particularly for interpolation and extrapolation beyond the training data.This study advances that foundation by employing Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), which—when properly trained—can capture complex relationships with greater continuity and generalizability. Beyond simply replacing RFRs, we develop a fully automated framework for constructing Machine Learning Models (MLMs) to predict density and thermal expansion coefficients of bitumen. …”
