Abstract

In this paper, we calibrate the luminosity relation of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) which is employed to analyze the Pantheon+ sample of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in a manner independent of cosmological assumptions. The A219 GRB dataset are used to calibrate the Amati relation (EpE_{\rm p}-EisoE_{\rm iso}) at low redshift with the ANN framework, facilitating the construction of the Hubble diagram at higher redshifts. Cosmological models are constrained with GRBs at high-redshift and the latest observational Hubble data (OHD) via a Markov Chain Monte Carlo numerical approach. For the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder (CPL) model within a flat universe, we obtain Ωm=0.3210.069+0.078\Omega_{\rm m} = 0.321^{+0.078}_{-0.069}, h=0.6540.071+0.053h = 0.654^{+0.053}_{-0.071}, w0=1.020.50+0.67w_0 = -1.02^{+0.67}_{-0.50}, and wa=0.980.58+0.58w_a = -0.98^{+0.58}_{-0.58} at the 1-σ\sigma confidence level, which indicating a preference for dark energy with potential redshift evolution (wa0w_a \neq 0). These findings by using ANN align closely with those derived from GRBs calibrated by using Gaussian Processes.
