State-of-the-art in artificial neural network applications: A survey

Abstract

This is a survey of neural network applications in the real-world scenario. It provides a taxonomy of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and furnish the reader with knowledge of current and emerging trends in ANN applications research and area of focus for researchers. Additionally, the study presents ANN application challenges, contributions, compare performances and critiques methods. The study covers many applications of ANN techniques in various disciplines which include computing, science, engineering, medicine, environmental, agriculture, mining, technology, climate, business, arts, and nanotechnology, etc. The study assesses ANN contributions, compare performances and critiques methods. The study found that neural-network models such as feedforward and feedback propagation artificial neural networks are performing better in its application to human problems. Therefore, we proposed feedforward and feedback propagation ANN models for research focus based on data analysis factors like accuracy, processing speed, latency, fault tolerance, volume, scalability, convergence, and performance. Moreover, we recommend that instead of applying a single method, future research can focus on combining ANN models into one network-wide application.

Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry: The Current Concepts and a Peek into the Future

“…Deep learning has more complex ways of connecting layers, also has more neurons count than other networks to express complex models, with more computing power to train and further has automatic extraction of the feature. 10 This algorithm uses multiple layers to detect simple features like line, edge and texture to complex shapes, lesions, or whole organs in a hierarchical structure. 9…”

Regression methods in waveform modeling: a comparative study

“…(ii) Artificial neural networks Artificial neural networks (ANNs) as computing systems are inspired by emulating the work of brains to learn complex things and to find patterns in biology. In machine learning algorithms, ANN has been widely used as a framework to perform advanced tasks such as pattern recognition [76], forecasting [77], and many other applications in various disciplines [78]. This framework works analogously to brains: it receives some inputs, processes them, and yields some output [79].…”

Remote Sensing: An Advanced Technique for Crop Condition Assessment

“…A data mining structure could realize at least one of the data mining assignments: (1) arrangement, (2) connection, (3) forecast, and (4) clustering [51]. Between diverse data mining methods and techniques, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique is one of the most extensively employed methodologies in engineering, particularly when data or information is accessible from several sources, in addition to a priori understanding of explanatory arrangements or developments which is accessible because of capacity of ANN to study complex configurations rapidly [52]. This method was successfully employed in many fields as biology [53][54][55][56], physics [57,58], chemistry [59,60], etc.…”
