With the continuous development of artificial neural network technology, the artificial neural network technology has also been used in many nonlinear system modeling and identification. Meanwhile, neural network with high accuracy, and have strong ability of distribution storage and learning, it also has strong ability of noise and fault tolerance, can fully close to the complex nonlinear relations, also have the function of associative memory. This special issue is to improve the algorithm of advanced research in the area of statistics that can fulfill big scale samples. It also can show high efficiency and high precision in machine vision category. Neural network also has more new application in some special area, so we can try to detect it.

Aims and Scope:

1. Using neural network to identification and recognition
2. The contrast between neural network and other methods
3. The improvement of neural network
4. The advantage and disadvantage on neural network
5. The application trend of neural network
