LSTM model results on a dataset consisting of six different GABA concentrations. “Raw data” means unprocessed dielectric constant data obtained from the GABA solution measurements. “Subtracted data” implies that the experimental dielectric constant of water (data averaged over 100 measurements) was subtracted from each of the dielectric constant data for the GABA solutions.

Performance of the LSTM neural network. Raw ϵ′ data is the measured dielectric constant data of GABA solutions, whereas the subtracted ϵ′ data is the difference between the measured dielectric constant data of the GABA solutions and the average dielectric constant data of deionized water.
