NEURAL NETWORKS

 

Artificial neural networks (ANN) is probably the most successful technology develeloped in the framework of Artificial Intelligence (AI). ANN are widely applied in pattern recognition, control and modelling.

Research in ANN is aimed at applying various types of ANN to solving practical problems in water resources modelling and management.

In the recent publications several applications of ANN were demonstrated. Neural network tool NNN (for MS-DOS and for Windows) has been built. A version that can be run across Internet (WebNNN) is also available.
