Abstract

In this paper the problem of metal's hardness properties estimation from indentation data is concerned. This problem belongs to a class of ill-posed vector function approximation problems and can't be solved by a single multilayered perceptron at the required precision level. A special neural networks committee architecture is developed in order to obtain precise estimates of metal's hardness properties. This method involves well-posed direct indentation task solution and a quantile based idea for best estimates selection. Studies have shown the estimates produced by the committee to be stable even in the case of noise presence that is similar to the true experimental one.
