The developed tool is an artificial neural network (ANN) that is trained with a part of the available patterns, so the network extracts the information that allows itself to predict if there will or will be not risk of intoxication. Later on, some patterns that have not been seen by the network, are chosen to check the goodness of the carried out learning.
The ANN used is a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), that is a network formed by one input layer, at least a hidden layer and one output layer, as can be seen in Fig. 1. Each layer is formed by a set of neurons. The input and output layers have the number of neurons determined by the problem inputs and outputs and the number of neurons in the hidden layer is chosen by the network designer. Fig.1
The aim of this network is to carry out a transformation of the input variables to the output space, so the MLP has associated a mathematical function that allows to estimate the output for a certain input.
In our problem, the input variables are some physiological parameters of the patient and the output is the intoxication risk, so if the function is the best, it will be able to predict if intoxication risk exists or not.
The network is trained with the Backpropagation learning algorithm, based on the minization of a monotonic increasing function of the error made by the network on each iteration. This function is denominated cost function and in this problem, quadratic error function has been chosen.
