“…Here, neural networks 16 have been proposed to solve this problem, although the limitations of their classic training methods, becoming trapped in local optima solutions, 17 may make the model calibration processes difficult. Genetic algorithms 18 have proven to overcome these problems in some applications regarding sensor modeling, such as the generation of regional maps of a-chlorophyll concentration or total suspended matter from the ocean color, 19 strain sensing using a Mach-Zehnder fiber interferometer, 20,21 and strain and temperature sensing by fiber Bragg gratings. [22][23][24] One more recent training strategy for neural networks consists of the use of hybrid techniques that combine evolutionary algorithms with non-linear optimization methods to overcome local optima solutions.…”
