Abstract
Solving number series poses a challenging problem for humans and Artificial Intelligence Systems. The task is to correctly predict the next number in a given series, in accordance with a pattern inherent to that series. We propose a novel method based on Artificial Neural Networks with a dynamic learning approach to solve number series problems. Our method is evaluated on an own experiment and over 50.000 number series from the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) database.
