内容摘要：
Artificial neural networks have been widely used in various intelligent systems either alone or cooperatively with other means for forecasting, classification, decision making, pattern recognition, data analysis, and other purposes in many different disciplines for the last three decades. There have been several reviews that concentrated on some certain aspects of neural networks related systems over the years. This review will summarize the frameworks of neural networks based intelligent systems (NNBIS) in application domain for the past 20 years. It uses a workflow-based logical approach to categorise various NNBISs. This review focuses on applications of, rather than theoretical analysis on and comparisons among, different NNBISs.
In this review, NNBISs are broadly classified into Traditional, Sequential, Concurrent, and Incorporative Structures. Various sub-models of each structure are presented and illustrated using publications from many different disciplines, including applications in ecological, agricultural, and environmental sciences. Each structure is also assessed on its nature for popular applications. Hybrid systems perform not necessarily better than single technique-based models. The choice or design of NNBIS is more problem-oriented, i.e., horses for courses!
