Abstract
The future of computer systems is those of intelligent
machines and artificial neural networks will be a part
of them. Artificial neural networks offer the ability of
solving different tasks from those of conventional
computers. The paper presents artificial neural
networks technology and includes a description of
artificial neural networks with their base element, the
artificial neuron, and the artificial networks operations
and training.
WHAT ARE ARTIFICIAL NEURAL
NETWORKS?
Artificial Neural Networks are electronic models based
on the structure of the brain. The brain learns from
experience. The biological research shows that brains
store information as patterns. Some of these patterns are
individual faces from different angles. This process of
storing information as patterns, utilizing those patterns,
and then solving problems encompasses a new field in
computing.
ARTIFICIAL NEURONS
The fundamental processing element of a neural
network is a neuron. A biological neuron receives
inputs from other sources, combines them in some way,
performs a generally nonlinear operation on the result,
and then outputs the result. These four components are
known by their biological names as: dendrites, soma,
axon, and synapses.
The goal of ANNs is not the recreation of the brain; it is
the seeking an understanding of nature’s capabilities for
people can engineer solutions to problems that have not
been solved by traditional computing.
