Recent Research and Reading.

It has been some days now since my last entry. During this time I have been reading up on various topics in the field of AI, looking for inspiration on the specifics for the upcoming proposal presentation /panic. There are a few different fields that have taken my interest. These include, but are not fully limited to:

Artificial Neural Networks (ANN):
For those who are unaware the study of Artificial Neural Networks involves the simulation of a biological brain electronically. This is achieved by using simple processing elements known as neurons connected together to exhibit complex global behaviour. The behaviour produced are the results of various inputs to the neurons, which are then multiplied by a pre-determined variable weight to produce a value within the neuron. If this produced value is above or below a certain value, then the nueron will either output, or remain passive.

Click here for a simple starter tutorial on the subject of artificial neural networks.

Genetic Algorithms:
For those who are not sure about Genetic Algorithms... welcome to the club. Seriously though, they seem very complicated from my intial research into the field, and the closest thing that has brought me to a decent understanding is another short tutorial found here

Anyways, its way past my bed time and i feel like a zombie, more inc soon.
