INN is trained by an efficient optimization algorithm called teaching–learning-based optimization (TLBO). To validate the effective of this proposed strategy, we compared the results of convergence and modeling obtained with a population based algorithm that is widely used in training NN namely Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO-NN). The results show that the proposed INN has given better results.</p></div>
