Abstract
Modeling of bioprocesses for engineering applications is a very difficult and time consuming task, due to their complex nonlinear dynamic behavior. In the last years several propositions for hybrid models, and especially serial approaches, were published and discussed, in order to combine analytical prior knowledge with the learning capabilities of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). These approaches often require synchronous and equidistant sampled training data. However, in practice concentrations are mostly off-line measured, rare, and asynchronous. In this paper a new training method especially suited for very few asynchronously sampled data is presented and applied for modeling animal cell cultures. The achieved model is able to predict the concentrations of the reaction components inside a stirred tank bioreactor.
