Abstract: | Earth orientation parameters (EOPs) polar motion and length of day (LOD), or UT1–UTC] were predicted by artificial neural
networks. EOP series from various sources, e.g. the C04 series from the International Earth Rotation Service and the re-analysis
optical astrometry series based on the HIPPARCOS frame, served for training the neural network for both short-term and long-term
predictions. At first, all effects which can be described by functional models, e.g. effects of the solid Earth tides and
the ocean tides or seasonal atmospheric variations of the EOPs, were removed. Only the differences between the modeled and
the observed EOPs, i.e. the quasi-periodic and irregular variations, were used for training and prediction. The Stuttgart
neural network simulator, which is a very powerful software tool developed at the University of Stuttgart, was applied to
construct and to validate different types of neural networks in order to find the optimal topology of the net, the most economical
learning algorithm and the best procedure to feed the net with data patterns. The results of the prediction were analyzed
and compared with those obtained by other methods. The accuracy of the prediction is equal to or even better than that by
other prediction methods.
