AI summary

A computer system (100), computer-implemented method and computer program product for evaluating a property of a physical stream sample is disclosed. An initial state image (ISI1) of said stream sample (S_b) at the beginning of the stream sample processing method (200) is received. A pre-trained neural network (120) determines a sample type (ST1) with a corresponding confidence value (CV1) for said stream sample (S_b). A probabilistic model (140) of the stream sample processing method predicts a target property value (PVt1) of the stream sample. A measuring result (MVe) for an actual property value (PVa1) of the processed stream sample (S_e) at the end of the sample processing method (200) is obtained. The actual property value (PVa1) is mapped backwards through the sequential probabilistic model (140) to the corresponding initial state image (ISI1). The sequential probabilistic model (140) or the neural network (120) or both are updated based on the actual property value.
