Artificial neural networks (anns: networks that learn and are capable of performing tasks that are difficult with conventional computer, such as playing chess, recognizing patterns in faces and objects, and filtering spam e-mail. Genetic algorithms (gas: used mostly to find solutions to optimization and search problems. Ix: developed so that users could communicate with computers in human language.
