Playing with Neural Network

[HSE]

Hi mineiro!

Maybe I don't understood your phrase.

That is. You don't understood phrase.

The problem with Neural Network is exactly that solution is beyond understanding.

The problem is not the process, is the solution.

In mathematical functions (exponential, factorial, polynomial ...)  you solve the equations and you can isolate how each variable affect the result, not always easy but in principle always posible. That can help to find real mechanism behind input-ouput asociations.

In Neural Networks you solve input-outputs asociations and you don't know why that work!

A multy-layer feed-forward neural network implementation in assembly x86 32 bits

It's same kind of problem addressed in DigiBrain by Thomas Bleeker . Work well

Plasticity, neuromorphic, organismic. Like a drunken algorithm.
Organismic computing reveals that trained neural network can forgot things and activate that knowledge later.

John von Neumann:
Anyone who attempts to generate random numbers by deterministic means is, of course, living in a state of sin.
