Nuclear mass predictions based on Bayesian neural network approach with pairing and shell effects

Bayesian neural network (BNN) approach is employed to improve the nuclear mass predictions of various models. It is found that the noise error in the likelihood function plays an important role in the predictive performance of the BNN approach. By including a distribution for the noise error, an app...
