As artificial neural networks (ANNs) become more sophisticated, industry is quickly finding more applications and, in doing so, is creating yet more advances. Already international and national-level finance specialists are getting more accurate forecasts from such systems with efficient control and increased productivity. These 20 articles include such topics as a survey of applications, the simultaneous evolution of network architectures and connection weights, stock-market return forecasting using data mining, hybrid methods, time-series prediction, modeling adaptive systems An adaptive system is a system that is able to adapt its behavior according to changes in its environment or in parts of the system itself. A human being, for instance, is certainly an adaptive system; so are organizations and families. , forecasting term structures, predicting foreign currency exchange, and several applications in manufacturing, including die-casting die-casting, process by which molten metal is forced by a plunger or compressed air into a metallic die and the pressure maintained until the metal has solidified. , costing in the automotive industry The automotive industry is the industry involved in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. In 2006, more than 69 million motor vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles were produced worldwide. , quality control and scheduling.
