In this paper, it was shown that a certain geophysical inverse problem (such as one posed by SBL) can be solved using an important class of artificial neural networks, which is a radial basis function (RBF). To show this, several sets of synthetic data has been generated using some assumed models of a physical property (such as seabed resistivity) distribution. Then, these pairs of data and models were used to train a RBF with a certain architecture. Finally, the trained RBF was tested to do inversion with new data and produced a predicted model. The predicted model was reasonably close to the true model and the mean square error (MSE) between them was 0.065. %Z cited By 0; Conference of 2010 International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems, ICIAS 2010 ; Conference Date: 15 June 2010 Through 17 June 2010; Conference Code:84196
