Neural networks: applications in industry, business and science

Just four years ago, the only widely reported commercial application of neural network technology outside the financial industry was the airport baggage explosive detection system [27] developed at Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). Since that time scores of industrial and commercial applications have come into use, but the details of most of these systems are considered corporate secrets and are shrouded in secrecy. This hastening trend is due in part to the availability of an increasingly wide array of dedicated neural network hardware. This hardware is either in the form of accelerator cards for PCs and workstations or a large number of integrated circuits implementing digital and analog neural networks either currently available or in the final stages of design
