ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
INRODUCTION
Over the last 25 years artificial neural networks have found its way into various applications ranging from character recognition, pattern recognition, handwriting recognition and so many others. Artificial neural networks are models inspired by the animal central nervous system which includes the brain and that of many other organisms. Frequently neural networks is used in a broad sense which group together different families of algorithms and methods.
Artificial Neural Network is trained to solve certain challenges using sample data, in this way identically built ANN can be used to perform different task depending on the training received. Through proper training, ANN is capable of generalization, the ability to recognize similarities among different input patterns, especially patterns that have been corrupted by noise. The term Neural Network is used to describe different models of computation in a single neuron or whole area of the brain.
For instance, in a neural network for handwriting recognition, a set of input neurons may be activated by the pixel of an input image .the activation of these neurons are then handed on, weighted and transformed by some functions determined by the network designer to other neurons. Like other machine learning methods, ANN have been used to solve a wide variety of tasks that are hard to solve using ordinary rule-based programming, including computer vision and speech recognition.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
The history of neural network is traced back to the work of trying to model the neuron. The first model of a neuron was introduced by physiologists, McCulloch and Pitts in (1943) they created a computational model for neural networks based on the mathematical methods and algorithms. The model they created had two inputs and a single output.
McCulloch and Pitts notice that a neuron would not activate if only one of the inputs was in

    The scope of neuroscience has broadened to include different approaches used to study the molecular, cellular, developmental, structural, functional, evolutionary, computational, and medical aspects of the nervous system. The techniques used by neuroscientists have also expanded enormously, from molecular and cellular studies of individual nerve cells to imaging of sensory and motor tasks in the brain. Recent theoretical advances in neuroscience have also been aided by the study of neural networks.…

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the branch of computer science, which concentrates on the intelligence of machines, and involves applying the principles of reasoning, knowledge planning, learning, communication, perception, and controlling objects to emulate the human brain. The most recognizable AI application is robotics from Hollywood cinema, and includes films such as; I Robot, Transformers, Wall-e, WarGames, A.I., The Terminator, Robocop, Iron Man, and Star Wars to name a few, which is fictional not an actual representation of AI. Robotics applications is only one of three aspects of AI, which also includes Cognitive Science applications, and Natural Interface applications, however, the area businesses are finding the most useful is the Cognitive Science applications (Murugavel, 2014).…

    Blondie24 Case Study

    Fogel. The purpose was to determine the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence checkers-playing computer program. Blondie24 played against some 165 human opponents and was shown to achieve a rating of 2048, or better than 99.61% of the playing population of that web site. The design of Blondie24 is based on a minimax algorithm of the checkers game tree in which the evaluation function is an artificial neural network. The neural net receives as input a vector representation of the checkerboard positions and returns a single value which is passed on to the minimax algorithm. The weights of the neural network were obtained by an evolutionary algorithm (an approach now called neuroevolution). In this case, a population of Blondie24-like programs played each other in checkers, and those were eliminated that performed relatively poorly. Performance was measured by a points system: Each program earned one point for a win, none for a draw, and two points were subtracted for a loss. After the poor programs were eliminated, the process was repeated with a new population derived from the winners. In this way, the result was an evolutionary process that selected programs that played better checkers games. The significance of the Blondie24 program is that its ability to play checkers did not rely on any human expertise of the game. Rather, it came…

    According to Dr Kennedy D. Gunawardene in 2009 The Artificial Neural Network is a collection of simple processors connected together and Each processor can only perform a very straight forward mathematical task, but large network of them has much greater capabilities and can do many things which one of its own can’t.

    Neural Netwoks Society Becomes Computational Intelligence Society At its meeting in Savannah, Georgia on February 14th, the IEEE Technical Activities Board voted overwhelmingly in favor of the Neural Networks Society's motion to change its name to the COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SOCIETY. To become official, the name needs to be approved by the Board of Directors which is expected to meet on June 20, 2004. As many of you may remember, the motion to change NNS's name originated with the unanimous resolution adopted by the ADCOM at its meeting in Washington, DC last November. Effective fall 2004 upon approval, only the new name of the Society will be featured in our promotional flyers, on the periodicals' front covers, and in the renewal materials. I'm sure you are delighted with the change! The new name is more descriptive and inclusive than the old one which only covered a fraction of the Society's scope. In the new name of Computational Intelligence we have encompassed technologies of neural networks, fuzzy sys-…
