Neural Network Applications can be grouped in following categories:
¦ Clustering:
A clustering algorithm explores the similarity between patterns and
places similar patterns in a cluster. Best known applications include
data compression and data mining.
¦ Classification/Pattern recognition:
The task of pattern recognition is to assign an input pattern
(like handwritten symbol) to one of many classes. This category
includes algorithmic implementations such as associative m emory.
¦ Function approximation :
The tasks of function approximation is to find an estimate of the
unknown function subject to noise. Various engineering and scientific
disciplines require function approximation.
¦ Prediction Systems:
The task is to forecast some future values of a time-sequenced
data. Prediction has a significant impact on decision support systems.
Prediction differs from function approximation by considering time factor.
System may be dynamic and may produce different results for the
same input data based on system state (time).
