Most of the video demos linked below are no longer available — the servers they lived on have been dead for years. I&rsquo;m keeping the descriptions because they capture what the work was about.</p> <h2 id="what-is-a-neural-network">What is a Neural Network?</h2> <p>An artificial neural network (ANN) is an information processing system inspired by biological nervous systems. It&rsquo;s made up of a large number of interconnected processing elements — neurons — that work together to solve problems. Like people, ANNs learn by example. You configure them for a task, whether that&rsquo;s pattern recognition or data classification, and they figure out the solution through a learning process. In biological systems, learning means adjusting synaptic connections between neurons. Neural networks do the same thing.</p>
