Abstract
This talk summarizes several points that have been learned about applying Artificial Neural Networks in the chemical industry. Artificial Neural Networks are one of the major tools of Empirical Process Modeling, but not the only one. To properly assess the appropriate model complexity, combine information about both the Training and the Test data sets. A neural network, or any other empirical model, is better at making predictions than the comparison between modeled and observed data shows. Finally, it is important to exploit synergies with other disciplines and practitioners to stimulate the use of Neural Networks in industry.
