Therefore, there are remarkable local structures for the weights of different models on the nuclear chart, which well eliminates the local deviations between the model predictions and the experimental masses and thus achieves better accuracy of mass predictions than the traditional arithmetic mean method (AMM) and weighted average method (WAM). Based on the latest atomic mass evaluation of AME2020, the root-mean-square (rms) mass deviation of the NBMA method is 0.293 MeV, while the rms deviations of AMM and WAM are 0.634 and 0.361 MeV, respectively.
