Terms & Properties

Concept Unique Identifier (CUI): C0870951

NCI Thesaurus Code: C17429  (see NCI Thesaurus info)

Semantic Type: Machine Activity

Semantic Type: Intellectual Product

NCIt Definition: A computer algorithm to solve non-linear optimization problems. The algorithm was derived in analogy to the way the densely interconnected, parallel structure of the brain processes information.

MSH Definition: A computer architecture, implementable in either hardware or software, modeled after biological neural networks. Like the biological system in which the processing capability is a result of the interconnection strengths between arrays of nonlinear processing nodes, computerized neural networks, often called perceptrons or multilayer connectionist models, consist of neuron-like units. A homogeneous group of units makes up a layer. These networks are good at pattern recognition. They are adaptive, performing tasks by example, and thus are better for decision-making than are linear learning machines or cluster analysis. They do not require explicit programming.
