1 Problem description
We want to model the evolution of biomass in a bioprocess, which is periodically fed with a compound A, resulting in an increase in the mass of living
matter (biomass) and a decrease - as it grows - in the existing substrate
(food). A schematic of the bioprocess can be seen in Figure 1.
When the bioprocess receives compound A, it increases the mass of living
matter and decreases the existing substrate as it grows. The dynamics of the
variables can be observed in Figure 2.
The problem, then, consists of using a multi-layer neural network to approximate the bioprocess, where compound A and substrate are considered
as inputs to the network and biomass as its output. To achieve this, the basic
rules of data preprocessing, neural network design, training, and validation
must be followed.
Three data files representing the inputs and the target are available, as
shown in Table 1.
