In this research, forward modeling was conducted using a multi layer perceptron (MLP), which is an important type of artificial neural networks. To train this MLP, a data set was generated using simulation software: COMSOL Multiphysics. The MLP designed has 3 layers with 3 neurons in input layer and 1 neuron in output layer. The single hidden layer contained neurons whose number had been varied between 3 until 15 neurons. The performance comparison showed that the MLP with 10 neurons in its hidden layer was the best to model SBL with CSEM method. © 2010 IEEE. %L scholars882 %J 2010 IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Applied Electromagnetics, APACE 2010 - Proceedings %O cited By 3; Conference of 2010 IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Applied Electromagnetics, APACE 2010 ; Conference Date: 9 November 2010 Through 11 November 2010; Conference Code:84329 %R 10.1109/APACE.2010.5720090 %D 2010 %A A.
