CONTROL DEVICE OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

A control device of an internal combustion engine using a neural network, wherein an output value obtained by experiments is made training data for a value of an operating parameter of the engine in a presumed usable range, while an output value obtained by prediction without relying on experiments is made training data for a value of the operating parameter of the engine outside of the presumed usable range. The training data obtained by experiments and the training data obtained by prediction are used to learn the weights and the biases of the neural network so that an output value which changes in accordance with a value of an operating parameter of the engine matches the training data, and thereby even outside of the presumed usable range of the operating parameter, the output value can be suitably estimated.
