Summary:

Mainly the basic neural paradigms are studied (perceptron and perceptron-like artificial neural nets, Hopfield net, Kohonen and ART selforganizing nets, Neocognitron, GMDH, etc.). Their applications in different tasks are pointed out. Fundamental ideas of HW accelerator design are mentioned. Applications like data prediction, image and sound neural processing, data compression, principal and independent component analysis are described.
