Neural Networks
6.1 INTRODUCTION
A neural network is a massively parallel and distributed processor that has a
natural ability to store experiential knowledge and make use of it for effective
decision making in many applications. The neural network acquires knowledge
through a series of learning processes, and a connection of synaptic weights is
used to store the acquired knowledge. Neural networks generally give a lower
classification error rate and greater robustness to noise than decision trees, but
they require longer time to create.
Neural networks consist of numerous, simple processing units called neurons.
