Applications of neural computing in the twenty-first century and 21 years of Neural Computing & Applications

摘要

It is with great pleasure that I am able to write this piece for the twenty-first anniversary edition of Neural Computing & Applications, with our Journal in good health, increasing in stature and reputation year-on-year, and established as a significant publication in the world of computer science and artificial intelligence. As we enter our twenty-second year of publication, I felt this would be a good opportunity to reflect on the changes that have taken place in the tools, techniques, and applications of neural networks and associated adaptive computing technologies, as seen through the submissions to and published papers in our Journal over its 21-year history, and to offer some observations on where we might be going in the future. I hope readers find this reverie interesting, enlightening, or at least entertaining - and are patient enough to indulge me!
