Machine and Deep Learning for Prediction of Moisture Content Under Different Temperatures During Drying
摘要
In this study, the influence of temperature on the moisture content of couscous grains was predicted using a model developed with a machine and deep learning-based approach, particularly focusing on artificial neural networks. Experimental data were collected by subjecting couscous grains to temperatures of 50, 60, and 70 °C using the Electronic Moisture Analyzer MA 1104. Various model architectures were tested by modifying activation functions and the number of neurons in hidden layers. These configurations were rigorously evaluated using mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), and coefficient of determination (R2). A satisfactory agreement between the predictions with the experimental data was observed, achieving an R2 of 0.99988 and an MSE of 0.00374.
