This paper suggests a design space exploration method using Artificial Neural Networks and metamodeling to systematically reduce the design space to a relatively small region. This method consists of three major steps. Firstly, self-organizing maps is employed to analyze design variables and objective function(s) with the original samples as preliminary reduction optimization of the initial large design space. Successively, resampling within the preliminary reduction space, clustering sample points using the fuzzy c-means clustering method with the given number of cluster, and choosing the most attractive cluster to construct kriging model and identify the design optimum within the reduced design space in the last step. The accuracy and validity of proposed methodology is proved by a heat exchanger design problem. It is found that the proposed method can intuitively capture promising design regions in which it is efficient to acquire the global or near-global desigm optimum.

The present work aims to test the potential of the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for food authentication. For this purpose, honey was chosen as the working matrix. The samples were originated from two countries: Romania (50) and France (53), having as floral origins: acacia, linden, honeydew, colza, galium verum, coriander, sunflower, thyme, raspberry, lavender and chestnut. The ANNs were built on the isotope and elemental content of the investigated honey samples. This approach conducted to the development of a prediction model for geographical recognition with an accuracy of 96%. Alongside this work, distinct models were developed and tested, with the aim of identifying the most suitable configurations for this application. In this regard, improvements have been continuously performed; the most important of them consisted in overcoming the unwanted phenomenon of over-fitting, observed for the training data set. This was achieved by identifying appropriate values for the number of iterations over the training data and for the size and number of the hidden layers and by introducing of a dropout layer in the configuration of the neural structure. As a conclusion, ANNs can be successfully applied in food authenticity control, but with a degree of caution with respect to the “over optimization” of the correct classification percentage for the training sample set, which can lead to an over-fitted model.
