The field of artificial neural networks (ANN) started from humble beginnings in the 1950s but got attention in the 1980s. ANN tries to emulate the neural structure of the brain, which consists of several thousand cells, neuron, which is interconnected in a large network. This is done through artificial neurons, handling the input and output, and connecting to other neurons, creating a large network. The potential for artificial neural networks is considered to be huge, today there are several different uses for ANN, ranging from academic research in such fields as mathematics and medicine to business-based purposes and sports prediction. The purpose of this paper is to give words to artificial neural networks and to show its applicability. Documents analysis was used here as the data collection method. The paper figured out network structures, steps for constructing an ANN, architectures, and learning algorithms.

The networks acquire an altered move towards the difficulty solving skills rather than that of conventional computers. Artificial neural networks are comparatively crude electronic designs based on the neural structure of the brain. The chapter describes two different types of approaches to training, supervised and unsupervised, as well as the real-time applications of artificial neural networks. Based on the character of the application and the power of the internal data patterns we can normally foresee a network to train quite well. ANNs offers an analytical solution to conventional techniques that are often restricted by severe presumptions of normality, linearity, variable independence, etc. The chapter describes the necessities of items required for pest management through pheromones such as different types of pest are explained and also focused on use of pest control pheromones.

The Artificial NeuroGlial Networks, which try to imitate the neuroglial brain networks, appeared in order to process the information by means of artificial systems based on biological phenomena. They are not only made of artificial neurons, like the artificial neural networks, but also they are made of elements which try to imitate glial cells. An important glial role related with the processing of the brain information has been recently discovered but, as the functioning of the biological neuroglial networks is not exactly known, it is necessary to test several and different possibilities for creating Artificial NeuroGlial Networks. This chapter shows the functioning methodology of the Artificial NeuroGlial Networks and the application of a possible implementation of artificial glia to classification problems.

The present work aims to test the potential of the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for food authentication. For this purpose, honey was chosen as the working matrix. The samples were originated from two countries: Romania (50) and France (53), having as floral origins: acacia, linden, honeydew, colza, galium verum, coriander, sunflower, thyme, raspberry, lavender and chestnut. The ANNs were built on the isotope and elemental content of the investigated honey samples. This approach conducted to the development of a prediction model for geographical recognition with an accuracy of 96%. Alongside this work, distinct models were developed and tested, with the aim of identifying the most suitable configurations for this application. In this regard, improvements have been continuously performed; the most important of them consisted in overcoming the unwanted phenomenon of over-fitting, observed for the training data set. This was achieved by identifying appropriate values for the number of iterations over the training data and for the size and number of the hidden layers and by introducing of a dropout layer in the configuration of the neural structure. As a conclusion, ANNs can be successfully applied in food authenticity control, but with a degree of caution with respect to the “over optimization” of the correct classification percentage for the training sample set, which can lead to an over-fitted model.

This chapter discusses the basic operation of an artificial neural network which is the major paradigm of deep learning. The name derives from an analogy to a biological brain. The discussion begins by outlining the basic operations of neurons in the brain and how these operations are abstracted by simple neuron models. It then builds networks of artificial neurons that constitute much of the recent success of AI. The focus of this chapter is on using such techniques, with subsequent consideration of their theoretical embedding.

The artificial neural networks used in a multitude of fields are achieving good results. However, these systems are inspired in the vision of classical neuroscience where neurons are the only elements that process information in the brain. Advances in neuroscience have shown that there is a type of glial cell called astrocytes that collaborate with neurons to process information. In this work, a connectionist system formed by neurons and artificial astrocytes is presented. The astrocytes can have different configurations to achieve a biologically more realistic behaviour. This work indicates that the use of different artificial astrocytes behaviours is beneficial.

This paper presents an investigation of satellite data and ground data about aerosols and then modelsthe mentioned data over Shiraz using artificial neural networks. MODIS satellite data are available on 36 various frequency bands. In this study, a good correlation between ground data and the 10 first satellite image bands is being shown. Specially, the best correlation was found in band number 8. Therefore, using neural networks and ground data along with satellite information, a model of aerosols is constructed. In the mentioned model, satellite data of band 8 and ground data are used as network input and output, respectively. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed model.

In this study, Artificial Intelligence was used to analyze a dataset containing the cortical thickness from 1,100 healthy individuals. This dataset had the cortical thickness from 31 regions in the left hemisphere of the brain as well as from 31 regions in the right hemisphere. Then, 62 artificial neural networks were trained and validated to estimate the number of neurons in the hidden layer. These neural networks were used to create a model for the cortical thickness through age for each region in the brain. Using the artificial neural networks and kernels with seven points, numerical differentiation was used to compute the derivative of the cortical thickness with respect to age. The derivative was computed to estimate the cortical thickness speed. Finally, color bands were created for each region in the brain to identify a positive derivative, that is, a part of life with an increase in cortical thickness. Likewise, the color bands were used to identify a negative derivative, that is, a lifetime period with a cortical thickness reduction. Regions of the brain with similar derivatives were organized and displayed in clusters. Computer simulations showed that some regions exhibit abrupt changes in cortical thickness at specific periods of life. The simulations also illustrated that some regions in the left hemisphere do not follow the pattern of the same region in the right hemisphere. Finally, it was concluded that each region in the brain must be dynamically modeled. One advantage of using artificial neural networks is that they can learn and model non-linear and complex relationships. Also, artificial neural networks are immune to noise in the samples and can handle unseen data. That is, the models based on artificial neural networks can predict the behavior of samples that were not used for training. Furthermore, several studies have shown that artificial neural networks are capable of deriving information from imprecise data. Because of these advantages, the results obtained in this study by the artificial neural networks provide valuable information to analyze and model the cortical thickness.

Biological neural computation relies a great deal on architecture, which constrains the types of content that can be processed by distinct modules in the brain. Though artificial neural networks are useful tools and give insight, they cannot be relied upon yet to give definitive answers to problems in cognition. Knowledge re-use may be driven more by architectural inheritance than by epistemological drives.
