6.2 NEURAL COMPUTING AND DATABASES
Most traditional database management systems store data in the form of
structured records. When a query is submitted, the database system searches for
and retrieves records that match the user’s criteria. Artificial neural networks
offer an attractive approach for realizing intelligent query processing in large
databases, especially for data retrieval and knowledge extraction based on
partial matches. The employment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques
allows database systems to capture meaningful and interesting patterns and
rules and to widen their applicability. AI technology can be used for a wide
variety of applications, such as recognition of ...
