Neural Network Applications in non-Business domains
Following, we give a selected overview over application domains of neural networks.
Neural networks are appearing in ever increasing numbers of real world applications and are making real money.Indeed, some banks have proven that the failure rate on loans approved by neural networks is lower than those approved by some of their best traditional methods. Also, some credit card companies are using neural networks in their application screening process.Neural networks (MFNNs and SOFMs) form the core of most commercial data mining packages such as the SAS Enterprise Miner and the IBM Intelligent Miner.OCR has become one of the biggest commercial applications of NNWs. Caere Inc, a leader in the market generated $55M in 1997 through OmniPage product line.
Following list provides various applications using Neural Networks in real world in the Busienss and non-Business Domain:
Neural Network Applications in
| SmartPackets using ANN in WiFi packet sizing |
| Smooth real-time data delivery for demanding applications such as digital video has been a thorny problem for broadcast over IP networks due to the high variability of network traffic conditions. The packet sizing problem in IP networks is getting a new twist from non-linear neural network theory developed at SmartPackets, Inc. |

| NeuroDriver |
|
The purpose of this project is to train an
Artificial Neural Network to control a vehicle
around a racing track. The track is defined by a few basic waypoints which are interpolated using splines to create a smooth track. The user drives the car around the track and the collected information is used to train the neural network. After the neural network is trained we let it control the vehicle. |
