Understanding neural networks as statistical tools.
The American Statistician ; 1. INTRODUCTION Neural networks have recently received a great deal of attention in many fields of study. The excitement stems from the fact that these networks are attempts to model the capabilities of the human brain. People are naturally attracted by attempts to create human-like machines, a
Neural networks tackle real-world problems. (Technology Update)(includes related article on how neural network technology works)
EDN ; Neural networks tackle real-world problems Neural networks mimic the human brain; they operate on experience gained from a set of training data, rather than on a set of rules or a computer program. Now you can use software and hardware products to implement artificial neural networks and solve real
Neural networks gaining foothold in business world Technology helps software think for itself
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ; Long an exotic field of computing, neural networks are beginning to show up in everyday places of the business world. The technology is patterned after the way the brain works by using mathematical models that enable software to think more for itself. In recent years, neural networks have moved out
Three-step method evaluates neural networks for your application. (includes related article on seven design steps for back-propagation neural networks) (Tutorial)
EDN ; Characterizing your problem and assessing the available data may lead you to formulating a neural-network implementation. If the problem type fits and the data is sufficient, a neural network can do the thinking for you. Neural networks are the core of many well-known applications, including sonar
AI-based neural networks.
Business Perspectives ; Al-Based Neural Networks The latest in information-processing technology Just as expert systems sparked interest when they first emerged into the business computing marketplace, neural networks are now in the information technology limelight. Current market forecasts seem to indicate that neural
Applying neural networks to predicting battle outcomes
Engineering Management Journal ; ABSTRACT This study investigates the problem of accurately predicting expected outcomes from battle prediction models. More generally stated, an attempt was made to produce an accurate forecast from chaotic data. Neural networks were used for investigating time and trends; current models do not use
Laboratory support for the teaching of neural networks
International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education ; Abstract Experiences gathered over the past six years in teaching a graduate neural networks subject are reported. Various neural network software simulators have been critically evaluated during this time, as to their suitability for supporting the laboratory component of this subject. Specific
What neural networks really do. (includes related articles on history of neural networks, real-world products)
EDN ; What neural networks really do Computer-based neural networks aren't new, but they are finally becoming useful. Inspired by studies of the brain and nervous, system, these relatively simple counterparts to brainpower are especially adept at pattern recognition, pattern synthesis, and many
Neural networks: Here, there, and everywhere--an examination of available intellectual property protection for neural networks in Europe and the United States
The George Washington Journal of International Law and Economics ; 1. Introduction The development of neural networks, engineering constructs that simulate human neural interconnections,l has expanded rapidly in recent years.2 A neural network's structure allows it to "learn" information while training for a particular application.3 The network then can generalize
Stochastic models of neural networks.(Brief Article)(Book Review)
