Neural network modeling

Introduction

Examples include:

Speech recognition

Speech recognition is the inter-disciplinary sub-field of computational linguistics that develops methodologies and technologies that enables the recognition and translation of spoken language into text by computers.

1. One of the very best articles I have ever seen on speech recognition and neural networks.
2. Click here for a REALLY bad video trying to describe this.

Optical character recognition

Optical character recognition...is the mechanical or electronic conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text..

Please note: none of the resources I could find are excellent. But taken together as a whole, they should help improve your understanding of how neural networks work with OCR.

• This file is a pdf of a presentation on neural networks and OCR
• This is an interactive javascript tool
• This is also an online tool which performs OCR on a picture with text

Natural language processing

Natural language processing (NLP) is a subfield of computer science, information engineering, and artificial intelligence concerned with the interactions between computers and human (natural) languages, in particular how to program computers to process and analyze large amounts of natural language data.

• This site can help you start to see some features of NLP (but there is no neural network here)
• This video is a short summary of NLP
• This is a rather interesting video (33 minutes) explaining parts of NLP

Standards
