ABSTRACT
The seat of human intelligence is believed to be the brain which turns out to be a hugely complex network of interconnected tiny cells called neurons. The artificial neural networks (ANNs) are assemblies of interconnected artificial neurons, which are the fundamental or basic functional units of the network. The processing speed of ANNs is much higher compared to the much slower processing speed of the natural neural nets. A natural neuron is a tiny cell that has a nucleus called a soma to which many filament-like structures known as dendrites are attached. The architecture of an Neural Network (NN) defines the pattern of connections among different neurons. Neural network-based computing has now reached a stage where it is increasingly being exploited for predicting structure and functionality, or for predicting and designing structures that would support desired functionalities. It has thus grown into a potent tool for chemical research.
