Predicting The Area Of Specialization Using Neural Network

Prediction is one of the unique capabilities of neural network technology. This approach can be used in any area where knowledge is highly structured and can be represented in patterns. Neural networks have been used as a mechanism for a lot of industries such as in education, businesses, finance,...
