  Neural network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neural network is sometimes used to refer to a branch of computational science that uses neural networks as models to either simulate or analyze complex phenomena and/or study the principles of operation of neural networks analytically.
Neural networks, as used in artificial intelligence, have traditionally been viewed as simplified models of neural processing in the brain, even though the relation between this model and brain biological architecture is very much debated.
Neural network software is used to simulate, research, develop and apply artificial neural networks, biological neural networks and in some cases a wider array of adaptive systems.

 Neural Networks Introduction
Neural networks have been applied to a wide variety of different areas including speech synthesis, pattern recognition, diagnostic problems, medical illnesses, robotic control and computer vision.
Neural networks have been shown to be particularly useful in solving problems where traditional artificial intelligence techniques involving symbolic methods have failed or proved inefficient.
Such a neural network might be used to predict the ADR rate for new drugs, as well as to determine the properties that tend to make for "safe" drugs.

 Neural Nets
Neural nets have the "topology of a directed graph" [Tayl93], meaning that, like the structure of the brain, connections between nodes or neurons is one-way.
Neural networks are a natural extension of exploring the limits of computing, in terms of methodology and theory.
Neural nets allow the programming of systems to solve "problems in which the rules governing the situation are unknown or difficult to use" [Tayl93] and to apply computing to problems not solvable in a strictly linear fashion.

 Neural Networks & Connectionist Systems
Neural models of intelligence emphasize the brain's ability to adapt to the world in which it is situated by modifying the relationships between individual neurons.
Neural networks are usually characterized in terms of the number and types of connections between individual processing elements, called neurons, and the learning rules used when data is presented to the network.
Neural networks, unlike fuzzy logic, seek to reproduce the versatility of the human brain in recognizing the end-to-end, input-to-output behavior of a system without understanding all the processes taking place within it.

 Thinking About Thought: Consciousness, Life and Meaning
Neural networks must exhibit the same property is they have to be useful for practical purposes and plausible as models of the brain.
Neural networks belong to a more general class of processing systems, parallel distributed processors, and neurocomputing is a special case of Parallel Distributed Processing, or PDP, whereby processing is done in parallel by a number of independent processors and control is distributed over all processes.
Formally: a neural net is a nonlinear directed graph in which each element of processing (each node) receives signals from other nodes and emits a signal towards other nodes, and each connection between nodes has a weight that can vary in time.

 Neural Integrator Introduction
Neural nets are useful for working on many types of relatively complex problems that do not easily yield to straightforward or algorithmic analysis.
Structurally, the various neural networks resemble what people suppose to be the operation of a living brain or at least its major information processing components, primarily neurons and synapses.
Since training neural nets is a major part of their design, the topic will be discussed in more detail later.

 Neural Prosthesis Program (NPP): National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
Neural prosthetic devices are artificial extensions to the body that restore or supplement function of the nervous system lost during disease or injury.
Neural prosthetics are devices that are used to allow disabled individuals the ability to control their own bodies and lead fuller and more productive lives.
Of particular interest to the NINDS is future progress in the field of neural prosthetics that will result in assistive technologies to improve the quality of life by restoring motor and communicative functions for individuals with spinal cord injuries, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and stroke.

 Connectionism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Neural networks are simplified models of the brain composed of large numbers of units (the analogs of neurons) together with weights that measure the strength of connections between the units.
If a neural net were to model the whole human nervous system, the input units would be analogous to the sensory neurons, the output units to the motor neurons, and the hidden units to all other neurons.
Neural networks are also particularly well adapted for problems that require the resolution of many conflicting constraints in parallel.

 Neural Networks
Neural networks, with their remarkable ability to derive meaning from complicated or imprecise data, can be used to extract patterns and detect trends that are too complex to be noticed by either humans or other computer techniques.
The commonest type of artificial neural network consists of three groups, or layers, of units: a layer of "input" units is connected to a layer of "hidden" units, which is connected to a layer of "output" units.
Neural networks were used to discover the influence of undefined interactions by the various variables.

 Artificial neural network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A neural network is an interconnected group of nodes, akin to the vast network of neurons in the human brain.
These networks are also similar to the biological neural networks in the sense that functions are performed collectively and in parallel by the units, rather than there being a clear delineation of subtasks to which various units are assigned (see also connectionism).
Training a neural network model essentially means selecting one model from the set of allowed models (or, in a Bayesian framework, determining a distribution over the set of allowed models) that minimises the cost criterion.

 PC AI - Neural Nets
The neural network is configured for a specific application, such as data classification or pattern recognition, through a learning process called training.
Neural networks can differ on: the way their neurons are connected; the specific kinds of computations their neurons do; the way they transmit patterns of activity throughout the network; and the way they learn including their learning rate.
In general, neural networks are well suited to problems that people are good at solving, but for which computers generally are not.
