The research of a general methodology to predict the pump performance in a reverse mode, knowing those of a pump in a direct mode, is a question that is still open. The scientific research is making many efforts toward answering this question, but at present, there is still not much clarity. This consideration has been the starting point of this research that thanks to artificial neural networks and evolutionary polynomial regression methods have tried to investigate and define the real weight of every input parameter, representing the efficiency of a pump in a direct way, on the output parameters, and representing efficiency of a pump used like a turbine.

Despite the natural advantage humans have for recognizing and interpreting patterns, large and complex datasets, as in Big Data, preclude efficient human analysis. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) provide a family of pattern recognition approaches for prediction, clustering and classification applicable to KDD with ANN model complexity ranging from simple (for small problems) highly complex (for large issues). To provide a starting point for readers, this chapter first describes foundational concepts that relate to ANNs. A listing of commonly used ANN methods, heuristics, and criteria for initializing ANNs is then discussed. Common pre- and post- data processing methods for dimensionality reduction and data quality issues are then described. The authors then provide a tutorial example of ANN analysis. Finally, the authors list and describe applications of ANNs to specific business related endeavors for further reading.
