Presentation
Artificial neural networks are relatively new computational tools, based on the properties of biological neural systems, which have found extensive utilization in many disciplines for modelling and solving complex real-world problems. The attractiveness of ANNs comes from the remarkable information processing characteristics of the biological system such as nonlinearity, high parallelism, robustness, fault and noise tolerance, and learning and generalization capabilities.
ANNs have been utilized in a variety of applications ranging from modelling, classification, pattern recognition, and multivariate data analysis. Their applications include: 1) interpretation of mass spectrometry, GC, CE and HPLC data, 2) pattern recognition of DNA, RNA, protein structure, and microscopic images, 3) ANNs are extensively used in biomedicine as a diagnostic system, for biochemical analysis, medical image analysis and drug development, 4) evaluation of kinetic data and 5) Interpretation of satellite data, among others.
