• abstract = "The search for the optimal treatment plan of a focused ultrasound-based procedure is a complex multi-modal problem, trying to deliver the solution in clinically relevant time while not sacrificing the precision below a critical threshold. To test a solution, many computationally expensive simulations must be evaluated, often thousands of times. The recent renaissance of machine learning could provide an answer to this. Indeed, a state-of-the-art neural predictor of Acoustic Propagation through a human skull was published recently, speeding up the simulation significantly. The utilized architecture, however, could use some improvements in precision. To explore the design more deeply, we made an attempt to improve the solver by use of an evolutionary algorithm, challenging the importance of different building blocks. Utilizing Genetic Programming, we improved their solution significantly, resulting in a solver with approximately an order of magnitude better RMSE of the predictor, while still delivering solutions in a reasonable time frame. Furthermore, a second study was conducted to gauge the effects of the multi-resolution encoding on the precision of the network, providing interesting topics for further research on the effects of the memory blocks and convolution kernel sizes for PDE RCNN solvers.",
