The parameters representing a given compound are read into the input layer neurons from where the information is fed forward (weighted by v,j) to the neurons in the hidden layer, and so on.

In parallel to the SUBSTRUCT analysis, a three-layered artificial neural network was trained to classify CNS-i- and CNS- compounds. As mentioned previously, for any classification the descriptor selection is a cmcial step. Chose and Crippen published a compilation of 120 different descriptors, which were used to calculate AlogP values as weU as drug-likeness [53, 54]. Here, 92 of the 120 descriptors and the same datasets for training and tests as for the SUBSTRUCT algorithm were used. The network consisted of 92 input neurons, five hidden neurons, and one output neuron.

An artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the structure of the mesoporous materials based on the composition of their synthesis mixtures. The predictive ability of the networks was tested through comparison of the mesophase structures predicted by the model and those actually determined by XRD. Among the various ANN models available, three-layer feed-forward neural networks with one hidden layer are known to be universal approximators [11, 12]. The neural network retained in this work is described by the following set of equations that correlate the network output S (currently, the structure of the material) to the input variables U, which represent here the normalized composition of the synthesis mixture ... 

Fig. 2. Structure of an artificial neural network. The network consists of three layers the input layer, the hidden layer, and the output layer. The input nodes take the values of the normalized QSAR descriptors. Each node in the hidden layer takes the weighted sum of the input nodes (represented as lines) and transforms the sum into an output value. The output node takes the weighted sum of these hidden node values and transforms the sum into an output value between 0 and 1.

The solution of the exact interpolating RBF mapping passes through every data point (x , y ). In the presence of noise, the exact solution of the interpolation problem is typically a function oscillating between the given data points. An additional problem with the exact interpolation procedure is that the number of basis functions is equal to the number of data points, so calculating the inverse of the N x N matrix becomes intractable in practice. The interpretation of the RBF method as an artificial neural network consists of three layers a layer of input neurons feeding the feature vectors into the network a hidden layer of RBF... 

The word network in the term artificial neural network refers to the interconnections between the neurons in the different layers of each system. An example system has three layers. The first layer has input neurons, which send data via synapses to the second layer of neurons, and then via more synapses to the third layer of ouqjut neurons. More complex systems will have more layers of neurons with some having increased layers of input neurons and output neurons. The synapses store parameters called weights that manipulate the data in the calculations. 

After successful lesion detection, morphological and dynamic features have to be assessed manually or automatically. These features may then be analyzed to come to a probability of malignancy. By 1997 Abdolmaleki et al. (1997) had already assessed six manually obtained features by a three-layer feed-forward neural network, and showed that methods of artificial intelligence are capable of dif-... 

A network is composed of units or simple named nodes, which represent the neuron bodies. These units are interconnected by links that act like the axons and dendrites of their biological counterparts. A particular type of interconnected neural net is shown in Fig. 5.12. In this case, it has one input layer of three units (leftmost circles), a central or hidden layer (five circles) and one output (exit) layer (rightmost) unit. This structure is designed for each particular application, so the number of the artificial neurons in each layer and the number of the central layers is not a priori fixed.
