Machine Learning Applications to the One-speed Neutron Transport Problems

Abstract

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence and computer science. The purpose of machine learning is to predict new data by using the existing data. In this study, two different machine learning methods which are Polynomial Regression (PR) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) are applied to the neutron transport problems which are albedo problem, the Milne problem, and the criticality problem. ANN applications contain two different activation functions, Leaky Relu and Elu. The training data set is calculated by using the HN method. PR and ANN results are compared with the literature data. The study is only based on the existing data; therefore, the study could be thought only data mining on the one-speed neutron transport problems for isotropic scattering.

Keywords
