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:

An EMR system that learns from the physician using it |
Praxis
Electronic Medical Records Announces New Version 5 With
Breakthrough in EHR Documentation. Based on a unique technology
called 'Concept Processing,' an intelligent neural network,
Praxis EMR becomes progressively faster and smarter by
learning from the physician using it. Physicians using
Praxis 5 with Datum can chart rapidly with complete freedom
while also producing discrete data required by third parties.

ANN aid in diagnosis of heart infection |
Researchers
at the Mayo Clinic employed Artificial neural networks
technique to assist in the diagnosis of a heart infection,
endocarditis, related to implanted devices such as pacemakers.
If left unchecked, such an infection can be fatal, and
treatment is no certain cure. Under normal conditions,
this disease has to be confirmed via an invasive surgical
procedure, but the ANN allowed them to rule out endocarditis
in cases of unknown diagnosis. |

A Neural Net That Diagnoses Epilepsy |
Nobody has automated the process of diagnosing epilepsy
from ordinary EEG data--until now. Around 50 million people
suffer from epilepsy--about 1 percent of the world's population,
say Forrest Sheng Bao at Texas Tech University, in Lubbock,
and a few pals. Bao and colleagues have come up with a
system that may have a dramatic impact. Various groups
have attempted to automate the process of epilepsy diagnosis
using pattern recognition programs to spot the characteristic
signature of the condition in EEG data. But these all
depend on the EEG-video data that is so hard to get. |

JavaScript-Based Neural Net Solves CAPTCHA |
A GreaseMonkey userscript is able to solve simple CAPTCHA
by using a purely JavaScript-based neural network implementation
The intriguing piece of code runs locally and has been
written by Shaun Friedle to subvert the CAPTCHA check
of the Megaupload service.
An artificial neural network is a computational model
used to analyze behavior in computational science. As
opposed to a linear model, this one implies interconnected
data processing artificial “neurons,” which
establish relationships between input and output, and
determine patterns.
GreaseMonkey
is a powerful extension for Mozilla Firefox. It allows
users to create local scripts written in JavaScript in
order to alter the appearance and functionality of the
web pages rendered within the browser. Common uses include
blocking ads or certain unnecessary page elements from
being displayed, thus resulting in a more resource-friendly
and clean browsing experience.

|
In order to find the right candidate, Artificial Intelligence
(AI) search is being utilized by whereismyboss.com,
an online recruitment agency. AI builds analytical and predictive
models on candidates’ profile. Once a resume enters
the AI database, AI searches the apt candidates’ profile
based on pattern search and match and delivers 95% accurate
results. AI segments a particular candidate’s resume
based on specific criteria which makes the retrieval process
quicker during search. Predictive technologies are used
to score the candidate most compatible for the job. |

Artificial Intelligence System - 100 Billion Neurons and
Beyond |
|
Intelligence Realm Inc. has recently completed a simulation
of 100 billion neurons, the estimated size of the human
brain. The simulation used distributed computing and involved
over 4000 computers, 3000 volunteers, 10000 processors,
180 TB of data and lasted for a couple of months.
This
was the first simulation that bypassed the 100 billion level
and used database files to store the data. The simulation
is one of the first steps in a long-term project that is
aiming to build a large-scale artificial intelligence by
reverse engineering the brain. |
