Neural
networks are appearing in ever increasing numbers of real world
applications and are making real money.
Indeed,
some banks have proven that the failure rate on loans approved
by neural networks is lower than those approved by some of their
best traditional methods. Also, some credit card companies are
using neural networks in their application screening process.
Neural networks (MFNNs and SOFMs) form the core of most commercial
data mining packages such as the SAS Enterprise Miner and
the IBM Intelligent Miner.
OCR
has become one of the biggest commercial applications of NNWs.
Caere Inc,
a leader in the market generated $55M in 1997 through OmniPage
product line.
Following
list provides various applications using Neural Networks in
real world:

| NeuroDriver |
The purpose of this project is to train an Artificial Neural
Network to control a vehicle around a racing track.
The track is defined by a few basic waypoints which are interpolated
using splines to create a smooth track.
The user drives the car around the track and the collected information
is used to train the neural network.
After the neural network is trained we let it control the vehicle. |
