Application Genetic Neural Network in Lithology Recognition and Prediction: Evidence from China

The BP neural network algorithm has characteristics of slow convergence speed and local minimum value which could cause the loss of global optimal solution. In order to eliminate the shortcoming of BP neutral network algorithm, genetic algorithm is been put forward to optimize authority value and threshold value of BP nerve network. This paper establishes genetic neural network model. Study has been conducted on lithology recognition prediction using genetic neutral network model. The result shows that this model has significant advantages inspect of fast convergence speed, good generalization ability and not easy to yield minimal local results. In generally, this model exhibits good representation and strong prediction ability, and is suitable for recognition of lithology, lithofacies and sedimentary facies as well as geological research like deposit prediction and rock and mineral recognition.
