(Artificial) Neural Network: the best-known type of Adaptive Network This name reflects the design of "artificial" neural networks by patterning them after biological neural networks, of which the most-complex known example is the human brain The brain contains 100-thousand-million (1 followed by 11 zeros) "neurons" or individual processing elements NN's used at ANSR often have fewer than 100 neurons
Neuron: An impulse-conducting cell that constitutes the brain, spinal column, and nerves Neurons usually have one or more dendrites an a single axon Notation: A collection of figures or symbols that are used in specific areas to represent numbers, quantities, tones, notes, or values
netnews A terminal based program for reading Usenet news by Kim F Storm, Texas Instruments A/S, Denmark nn lets you decide which of the many news groups you are interested in, and unsubscribe to those which don't interest you nn lets you select articles to read from a menu in each of the groups you subscribe nn sorts and presents new articles very quickly because it uses its own local database to maintain all the necessary information (this database is built and maintained by the nnmaster program)
