ABSTRACT
Neural networks have emerged as a field of study within AI and engineering via the collaborative efforts of engineers, physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists, and neuroscientists. Although the strands of research are many, there is a basic underlying focus on pattern recognition and pattern generation, embedded within an overall focus on network architectures. Many neural network methods can be viewed as generalizations of classical pattern-oriented techniques in statistics and the engineering areas of signal processing, system identification, optimization, and control theory. There are also ties to parallel processing, VLSI design, and numerical analysis.
A neural network is first and foremost a graph, with patterns represented in terms of numerical values attached to the nodes of the graph and transformations between patterns achieved via simple message-passing algorithms. Certain of the nodes in the graph are generally distinguished as being input nodes or output nodes, and the graph as a whole can be viewed as a representation of a multivariate function linking inputs to outputs. Numerical values (weights) are attached to the links of the graph, parameterizing the input/output function and allowing it to be adjusted via a learning algorithm.
