Abstract

Companies have been collecting data for decades, and building massive warehouses for data storage. Even though this data is available, very few companies have been able to realize its actual value. The question these companies are asking is how to extract this value. For this, there are many technologies available to Soft Computing practitioners, including Artificial Neural Networks, Regression, and Decision Trees. Many practitioners are wary of Neural Networks due to their black box nature, even though they have proven themselves in many situations. This paper is an overview of artificial neural networks in computer industry with respect to soft computing.

Keywords: Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Neural Network Topology, Advantages and Applications.
