Neural Network Concepts

and Paradigms

In the previous two chapters, we reviewed

concepts, paradigms, and implementations

of evolutionary computation. Chapters 3

and 4 provide a foundation on which we

build our computational intelligence struc-

ture. Now we examine the second main

component of computational intelligence,

artificial neural networks.

Building intelligent systems that can

model human behavior has captured the

attention of the world for decades. So it

is not surprising that a technology such as

neural networks has generated great inter-

est. This chapter first discusses the history

of neural networks. It next provides an evo-

lutionary introduction to neural networks

beginning with the key elements and termi-

nology of neural networks and ...
