This paper proposes a solution based on Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) to predict the offset of the center of gravity of an offshore platform. It also performs a comparative study with three optimization algorithms – Random Search, Simulated Annealing, and Bayesian Optimization (BO) – to find the best MLP architecture. Although BO obtained the best architecture in the shortest time, ablation studies developed in this paper with hyperparameters of the optimization process showed that the result is sensitive to them and deserves attention in the Neural Architecture Search process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
