Neural Network Real World Applications

Digital Camera Face Recognition
Most digital cameras these days have a face recognition, object recognition which is a part of Neural Network technology. This part of Neural Network technology is refered to as pattern recognition. Pattern recognition is "the act of taking in raw data and taking an action based on the category of the pattern".

Data Mining
Data mining is a form of Neural Network technology as well. The most familiar aspect of data mining to most people would be e-mail spam filtering. Most of the time the way e-mail filtering works is it filters based on the content of the e-mail.
