Method and Instruments for Modeling Integrated Knowledge

This paper is to present a framework developed in order to model and share knowledge within large organizations whether they be private or public.
Called MIMIK (Method and Instruments for Modeling Integrated Knowledge), it is based on a methodology,on eight different models for graphical representation and on a knowledge-sharing system.

Introduction to predictive analytics

Predictive analytics encompasses a variety of techniques from statistics and data mining that analyze current and historical data to make predictions about future events. Such predictions rarely take the form of absolute statements, and are more likely to be expressed as values that correspond to the odds of a particular event or behavior taking place in the future.

Online Course Teaches Java and C# Neural Network Programming

Heaton Research introduced two new online video-based courses today. The Introduction to Neural Networks for Java and Introduction to Neural Networks for C# courses are now open for enrollment. These courses are offered free to the public. Programming experience in Java or C# is suggested. These courses are taught by Jeff Heaton, an artificial intelligence researcher and former college instructor. The courses are presented in fifteen weekly units consisting of a 20-30 minute video supplemented with additional materials, assignments, and an online forum.

FACETS - A recent EU-funded neural computing research project

The goal of the FACETS (Fast Analog Computing with Emergent Transient States) project is to create a theoretical and experimental foundation for the realisation of novel computing paradigms which exploit the concepts experimentally observed in biological nervous systems. The continuous interaction and scientific exchange between biological experiments, computer modelling and hardware emulations within the project provides a unique research infrastructure that will in turn provide an improved insight into the computing principles of the brain. This insight may potentially contribute to an improved understanding of mental disorders in the human brain and help to develop remedies.

The Future Of Software

New research in artificial intelligence could lay the groundwork for computer systems that learn from their users and the world around them. Artificial intelligence, a field that has tantalized social scientists and high-tech researchers since the dawn of the computer industry, had lost its sex appeal by the start of the last decade.
Now a new generation of researchers hopes to rekindle interest in AI. Faster and cheaper computer processing power, memory, and storage, and the rise of statistical techniques for analyzing speech, handwriting, and the structure of written texts, are helping spur new developments, as is the willingness of today's practitioners to trade perfection for practical solutions to everyday problems.

Neural Network Programming in Java (by Jeff Heaton)

Programming Neural Networks in Java will show the intermediate to advanced Java programmer how to create neural networks. This book attempts to teach neural network programming through two mechanisms. First the reader is shown how to create a reusable neural network package that could be used in any Java program. Second, this reusable neural network package is applied to several real world problems that are commonly faced by IS programmers. This book covers such topics as Kohonen neural networks, multi layer neural networks, training, back propagation, and many other topics.
