A Back Propagation Artificial Neural Network Applied to Body Constitution in Traditional Chinese Medicine Modeling

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, artificial neural network architecture is introduced to predict the Yin-Yang index of body constitution in traditional Chinese medicine (BCTCM). With pre-processing the inputting data by the median, the collected data is more consistent with the exact value of the characteristic parameters of BCTCM. Quasi-Newton algorithm is used to train the network model to accelerate the convergence speed of network training. Experiments show that, the result showed that they had good prediction accuracies for BCTTCM. The mean absolute error for 10 true measured points was 0.034. Therefore, the prediction model of BCTCM Yin-Yang index with BP neural network is doable.
