Ask HN:Artificial Neural Networks for electronics engineers
jacquesm: There are chips that contain neural networks:http://www.particle.kth.se/~lindsey/HardwareNNWCourse/That's fairly dated, lots more to read:http://www.google.com/search?q=neural+networks+in+hardwareThe Japanese have done tons of research in this field and the producers of quite a few of the chips, there are lots of fields of applications for these, one of them is in process control.
