Abstract: Neural Networks have become part of our daily vocabulary.  This overview class discusses their applications in forecasting linear and non-linear systems, classification, and pattern recognition.  Advantages and disadvantages, as well as comparisons to expert systems and statistical analysis are covered.  This lecture is an overview, covering many aspects of the subject, and as such is not highly technical.

 

 

 

Biographical Sketch: Brad Morantz has a BS CIS/EE with research in active filter optimization.
