This book gathers the proceedings of the 21st Engineering Applications of Neural Networks Conference, which is supported by the International Neural Networks Society (INNS). Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been following a unique course, characterized by alternating growth spurts and “AI winters.” Today, AI is an essential component of the fourth industrial revolution and enjoying its heyday. Further, in specific areas, AI is catching up with or even outperforming human beings. This book offers a comprehensive guide to AI in a variety of areas, concentrating on new or hybrid AI algorithmic approaches with robust applications in diverse sectors.One of the advantages of this book is that it includes robust algorithmic approaches and applications in a broad spectrum of scientific fields, namely the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), deep learning and LSTM in robotics/machine vision/engineering/image processing/medical systems/the environment; machine learning and meta learning applied to neurobiological modeling/optimization; state-of-the-art hybrid systems; and the algorithmic foundations of artificial neural networks.

A cursory glance at the table of contents of EANN 2009 reveals the am- ing range of neural network and related applications. A random but revealing sample includes: reducing urban concentration, entropy topography in epil- tic electroencephalography, phytoplanktonic species recognition, revealing the structure of childhood abdominal pain data, robot control, discriminating angry and happy facial expressions, ?ood forecasting, and assessing credit worthiness. The diverse nature of applications demonstrates the vitality of neural comp- ing and related soft computing approaches, and their relevance to many key contemporary technological challenges. It also illustrates the value of EANN in bringing together a broad spectrum of delegates from across the world to learn from each other’s related methods. Variations and extensions of many methods are well represented in the proceedings, ranging from support vector machines, fuzzy reasoning, and Bayesian methods to snap-drift and spiking neurons. This year EANN accepted approximately 40% of submitted papers for fu- length presentation at the conference. All members of the Program Committee were asked to participate in the reviewing process. The standard of submissions was high, according to the reviewers, who did an excellent job. The Program and Organizing Committees thank them. Approximately 20% of submitted - pers will be chosen, the best according to the reviews, to be extended and - viewedagainfor inclusionin a specialissueofthe journalNeural Computing and Applications. We hope that these proceedings will help to stimulate further research and development of new applications and modes of neural computing.
