The invention describes a device for evaluating sensor measurements (1.1), having: - a sensor (1), wherein for evaluating the sensor measurements (1.1) of the sensor (1) a model function suitable for
least squares regression is provided, which can be defined by a parameter vector, wherein at least one parameter of the parameter vector forms a sensor output
signal (3); and - a calculation and evaluation unit (2), having a neural network (2.1) for estimating the parameter vector on the basis of actually determined sensor measurements (1.1) and a
least squares regression module (2.2), wherein the neural network (2.1) is trained with parameter vectors and associated sensor measurements, and the calculation and evaluation unit is set up to: ° determine at least one parameter estimate vector as an input variable for the
least squares regression module (2.2) by means of the trained neural network (2.1) for sensor measurements (1.1) measured with the sensor (1), ° interrupt the least squares regression in the event that a convergence criterion is met when implementing the least squares regression, and ° output at least one parameter of the last determined parameter vector as a sensor output
signal (3). An associated
automated method for evaluating sensor measurements and the use of the device are also described.
