Prediction of Melting Points of Organic Compounds Using Artificial Neural Network Trained with the Combination of Genetic Algorithm and Gradient Method

The artificial neural network was trained with the combination of genetic algorithm andgradient method and used to predict the melting point based on the molecular weight, critical density,normal boiling point and dipole moment of organic compounds. The trained artificial neural networkcould make predictions of the melting points within an average error of 5.1%.
