Neural network[edit]

Hello, and welcome. Your suggestions on Talk:Neural network are excellent, at least as far as I can see (which is not very far). I did slightly change your edit to Neural network by replacing "ANN model" by "artificial neural network". I think that one shouldn't use abbreviations without introducing them, and preferably not at all. So I started by writing out "artificial neural network model", but that appeared so odd to me that I deleted the word "model". Feel free to change it back if you like "ANN model" better, but then I think that you should explain that ANN = articial neural network.

Thanks for your contribution and I hope to see more of you. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 15:32, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Neural Networks organisation[edit]

Hello there, I saw your edit and comment and so I was wondering what is your opinion on the current Neural Networks article. I made some improments (I hope) recently - and I added as extensive sections as I dared on neural networks in AI-related applications and on the modelling of real neural systems. Do you think I should remove some of the AI related stuff from this article and move it over to ANNs? --Olethros 23:37, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article should be not much more than a disambiguation between artificial and biological neural networks (the reviewer from nature was probably ignorant about wikipedia and the artificial neural network article, he was supposed to review instead). The article could contain something about the history of ANNs and a comparison between artificial neural networks and neural networks, nothing more. IMHO, the article now contains far too much technical information about ANNs that belong in the ANN article.

I think your edits were very helpful in clarifying the language, shortening the paragraphs, and adding references. :) --Ben ^T/_C 13:01, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks for the feedback. I will then make a short version of the 'Neural Networks in AI' section; I think something similar in size to 'Neural Networks in Neuroscience' should be perfect for this article and I can move the current Neural Networks in AI section as a Theoretical Background section in Artificial Neural Networks. I'll add this as a Talk item in both NN and ANN, to see if it's OK with people.

Good work in the ANN and NN articles! Please continue. :) Ben ^T/_C 22:01, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AI talk[edit]

Thanks for the enlightning discussion. I will be out of town for a week or so - so you'll have some peace for a while :-) But I'm eager to catch up when I'm back. --moxon 19:58, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
AI clean-up - you're welcome. --moxon 13:09, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
