Neural Networks
by Graham Betts - Sunday, 21 August 2005, 07:31 PM
 A type of artificial intelligence that attempts to imitate the way a human brain works. Rather than using a digital model, in which all computations manipulate zeros and ones, a neural network works by creating connections between processing elements, the computer equivalent of neurons. This is why non-procedural languages are used in artificial intelligence as well as with neural networks because non-procedural languages allow connections between processing elements.

 Non-adaptive robots receive no input from there environments and so cannot modify their responses to their environment

Non-procedural Languages
by Graham Betts - Sunday, 21 August 2005, 07:34 PM
 Non-procedural languages are computer languages in which the languages do not follow strict steps but rather connections between the various elements such as the variables and constants. This is why non-procedural languages are used in artificial intelligence as well as with neural networks because non-procedural languages allow connections between processing elements in a similar way to the way that humans do.
