contents We present a data-driven inverse construction of the dilaton field in a bottom-up AdS/QCD description of heavy vector quarkonia. Instead of adopting an \emph{ad hoc} analytic ansatz, we use a multilayer perceptron to learn \(Φ'(z)\) as a smooth function of the holographic coordinate, with \(Φ(0)=0\) imposed to ensure ultraviolet consistency. The dilaton and its derivatives obtained by automatic differentiation generate the holographic potential \(U(z)\), and the associated Schrödinger-like equation is discretized and diagonalized to extract the low-lying eigenmodes. Masses and decay constants are then evaluated from the eigenvalues and the near-boundary behavior of the bulk-to-boundary modes. Training on PDG data for charmonium and bottomonium yields a non-quadratic dilaton profile that resolves the longstanding difficulty of simultaneously reproducing both the heavy-quarkonium spectrum and the monotonic suppression of leptonic decay constants with radial excitation. The combined fit achieves RMS deviations of \(1.26\%\) (charmonium) and \(3.32\%\) (bottomonium). This work establishes neural-network reconstruction as a flexible tool for holographic modeling and provides a basis for future extensions incorporating additional channels, lattice constraints, or finite-temperature backgrounds.
