Hi Sam

I noticed in one of your other posts that you are heavy into Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence.

I was wondering then if you could answer a few questions that have been plagueing me :

I have done some reasearch into AI, specifically Neural Networks and while all of my information to date tells me everything I need to know about how it is done, feedback looks, nodes, triggers and everything else...

It lacks one VERY specific thing...


How do you decide how the network is set up?

I mean it describes in quite complicated mathematics about the formulae for each node and all that but it doesn't relate to a real world environment.

Lets say for instance I want to use a Neural Net to try and break down a sentence.

"Hello, my name is John"

How would I use a neural net to do this?
What would be the nodes?
What would be their formulae?
How do I inter connect them?


If you could provide even the slightest inkling for some of these would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks
