Neural networks

Neural networks

1. problem of ill-formalising tasks

   • recognition of images
   • situation assessment
   • decision making
   • knowledge discovery
   • cognitive analysis
   • team behaviour
   • natural language understanding

2. Brain-like computer

   • Parallel distributed processors
   • Composed of the large number of interconnected nodes
     • threshold-logic units model
     • Formal neuron
     • synaptic weights

3. Synthesizing learning system

   • machine learning paradigms
   • Evolution based (genetic) algorithms
   • neural network paradigms
     • learning and adaptation
     • knowledge base
     • self-organisation
     • not programming but training
     • associative distributed memory
     • connectionism
     • massive parallelism

4. applications

   • pattern recognition
     • voice
     • face
     • behaviour
   • control systems
