• Neural networks based on mathematical models of the human brain
  • Interest in learning more about how people think
  • Interest in using model to solve problems
• Main elements of model: nodes (neurons) and weights (connections)
• Several variations in details
• Learning involves adjusting configuration of nodes and values used for weights
• Algorithms available for the training process
• References identify software packages to do modeling process
