time and effort, not to mention improve the accuracy of the com-
putation results.
Learning2. —The PNN dynamical system can quickly learn the data
from the learning data source. The decision boundaries can be
modified in real time using new data as they become available, and
they can be implemented using artificial hardware “neurons” that
operate entirely in a parallel processing manner.
Fault tolerance3. —Unlike a computer part that may be damaged when
a computer operation malfunctions, in an artificial neural network
slight damage to the connections will not result in a serious prob-
lem, but will just decrease functionality slightly. This is partly due
to the fact that in an artificial neural network ...
