Name | Applications | Commentaries | Limitations | Year | Creators |
Perceptron (P) | Recognition of characters printed | The oldest network | You may not recognize complex characters | 1958 | Rosemblatt |
Adaline/Madaline | Filtering of signals. Equalizer Adaptive | Quick, easy implement with analog circuits | It is only possible classifying spaces linearly separated | 1960 | Widrow |
Avalanche | Recognition of talks continued. Robot control | No network easy done these tasks | It is not easy to alter the speed or interpolate the movement | 1967 | Grossberg |
Cerebellation | Control of the movement of arms of a robot | Similar to Avalanche | It requires complicated control inputs | 1969 | Marr, Albus, |
Brain-State-Box | Extraction of knowledge database | Possibly best realization that SAS Hopfield networks | Potential realization applications not completely studied | 1977 | Anderson |
Neocognitron | Recognition of characters manuscripts | Easy conceptualize. Insensitive to the translation, rotation and scale | It requires many elements of process, levels and connections | 1978 | Fukushima |
Self-Organizing-Map (SOM) | Recognition of patterns, coding data optimization | Make maps features common of cough learned data | It requires a lot training | 1980 | Kohonen |
Hopfield | Reconstruction patterns and optimization | Can be implemented in VLSI. | Capacity and stability | 1982 | Hopfield |
Machines Boltzmann and Cauchy | Recognition patterns (images, sound and radar). Optimization | Simple networks. Capacity of representation optimal patterns | The machine of Bolzmann need a very long time learning | 1985 | Hinton |
Associative memory bi-directional | Memory heteroasociativa access by content. | Learning and simple architecture | Low capacity storage. The data should be encoded | 1985 | Kosko |
Adaptive resonance theory (ART) | Recognitionpatterns (radar, (sonar, etc.) | Sophisticated, little used | Sensitive to the translation, distortion and scale | 1986 | Carperrter, Grossberg |
Counterpropagation | Understanding images | Combination of Perceptron and TPM | Many neurons and connections | 1986 | Hectnielsen |
Back-propagation (BP) | Voice synthesis from text. Control robots. Forecast Recognition patterns | The most popular network. Numerous applications successfully. Ease of learning. Powerful. | It needs a lot of time for the learning and many examples | 1986 | Werbos, Parker, Rumelhart |
