Neural Network Research: A Personal Perspective,

Abstract : These vision preprocessor and ART autonomous classifier examples are just two of the many neural network architectures now being developed by engineers and scientists worldwide. Some of them provide a fertile ground for gaining a new understanding of biological intelligence. Others suggest novel computational theories with natural realizations as real-time adaptive neural network architectures with promising properties for tackling some of the outstanding problems in computer science and technology today. Still others do both. Whatever the focus, here is a field ready to challenge and reward the sustained efforts of a wide variety of gifted people. Keywords: Adaptive resonance theory.
