description In recent years, the study of the hot deformation behavior of various materials is significantly marked by an increasing utilization of artificial neural networks, which are frequently employed for a hot flow curve description. This specific kind of description is commonly solved via a Feed-Forward Multi-Layer Perceptron architecture and rarely via a Radial Basis architecture. Both network architectures are compared to assess their suitability in the process of a hot flow curve description under a wide range of thermomechanical conditions. The performed survey is also aimed on the eventual utilization of corresponding modifications of both studied networks, namely on a Cascade-Forward Multi-Layer Perceptron and Generalized Regression network. The main results have shown that the Feed-Forward Multi-Layer Perceptron architecture represents a good choice if very high accuracy is a crucial goal. However, in the case of this architecture, finding the proper parameters can be time-consuming and the hardware burdensome. On the contrary, for the flow curve description the almost unused Radial Basis network offers a very easy training procedure and significantly shorter computing time under acceptable accuracy. The results of the submitted research should then serve as a background for the selection and following application of a suitable network architecture in the process of solving future flow curve description tasks.
