Traditionally, the term neural network had been used to refer to a network or circuit of biological neurons. The modern usage of the term often refers to artificial neural networks, which are composed of artificial neurons or nodes. Thus the term has two distinct usages:

  1. Biological neural networks are made up of real biological neurons that are connected or functionally related in the peripheral nervous system or the central nervous system. In the field of neuroscience, they are often identified as groups of neurons that perform a specific physiological function in laboratory analysis.
  2. Artificial neural networks are made up of interconnecting artificial neurons (programming constructs that mimic the properties of biological neurons). Artificial neural networks may either be used to gain an understanding of biological neural networks, or for solving artificial intelligence problems without necessarily creating a model of a real biological system. The real, biological nervous system is highly complex and includes some features that may seem superfluous based on an understanding of artificial networks.

This article focuses on the relationship between the two concepts; for detailed coverage of the two different concepts refer to the separate articles: Biological neural network and Artificial neural network.

Idea for a paper in which I examine neural network concept learning VS other concept teory?
Q. Connectionism vs Prototype theory Connectionism vs Classical view Connectionism vs Exemplar vierw Connectionism vs knowledge view (or Theory of Theory view) Connectionism vs atomis view thx

A. Whatever you choose, be certain to make clear that the 5 senses are the "interface" between empirical reality and cognitive faculties. If you are weighted to heavily toward empiricism or rationalism, it won't matter how much "neural network concept learning" plays a part in concepual development. I have no doubt that all learning goes through a "neural network." And perhaps like the baseball player who dreams himself to sleep hitting the perfect ball, then goes out the next day and hits it, it really works. But it won't work effectively, if at all, if the conceptual base of metaphysical existents on which the process is based is faulty.

What is perceptron coefficient in neural network?
Q. The aim of my project is to transfer compressed text data over internet and recover the data losslessly at the receiving end using ANN predictors. Text: Neural networkASCII value of Text: 78,101,117,114,97,108,32, 110,101,116,119,111,114,1 07First number:78 Residues: 23(101-78), 16(117-101),-3,-17, 76,-76, 78,-9, 15, 3,-8, 3,-7 Now i have to train the neural network to predict residue value.so for example if we take first 12 residue values the ANN has to predict the next, that is, 13th residue value. Once residues are recollected along with the first original number, predictor coefficients will be used to generate the original data series. Using the predictor coefficients an ANN identical to the ANN at the source is created.I want to… [cont.]

A. the "coefficient" in a neural network refers to a value which is used to determine how important a certain input is to a node. In other words, the coefficients help determine whether a certain input value is considered important to the node or not. If the coefficient is strong (very far for 0, positively or negatively), then the input is considered to be very important to that node. There is one coefficient for every input.

Do Neural Networks in Sports Predictions work?
Q. Does using a Neural Network in sports prediction work well? I understand it can work to some extent, but can it actually beat the odds of bookmakers consistently if used correctly with adequate historical data? If you dont know what Neural Networks are, please dont answer to point score, wiki it.

A. They are still only as good as the information put into them. If a human brain cannot predict the actual future, then neither can a neural network -- even if that neural net is as 'perfect' as a human brain. Can a neural net improve the odds of a prediction? yes and no. Yes, because it will not be influenced by emotion, or 'homerism'. It will work with, 'just the facts'. If the formulas that are used are very good and the data is very good, the neural net can actually learn as time goes on and it can have a high rate of success (but not even a neural net can be perfect). No, because of the same argument above -- it is only as good as the formulas and data you provide it with. It will make mistakes in predictions. It could be… [cont.]
