  • Control device for internal combustion engine and control program therefor
    Patent number: 11428185
    Abstract: A control device for an internal combustion engine includes an information acquirer, a first computing unit, and a second computing unit. The information acquirer acquires information on a state amount that changes depending on the operation state of the internal combustion engine. A region determiner determines whether the state amount falls within a set region. The first computing unit uses an in-region state amount within the set region, as an input value to compute a control amount of the internal combustion engine by a neural network. The second computing unit selects a reference state amount within the set region, based on the out-of-region state amount, uses the selected reference state amount as an input value to compute a reference control amount by the neural network, and computes the control amount corresponding to the out-of-region state amount based on the computed reference control amount.
