More than 60 years have passed from the introduction of the first Perceptron. Since then, numerous types of NN architectures (e.g., Deep Learning-DL) have been developed. DL has found a variety of applications in numerous timely domains, like Self Driving cars, Fraud-Fake News Detection, Virtual Assistants, Image Analysis, Natural Language. Convolutional Neural Networks (a case of Deep Neural Network) are used in various domains, mainly in image recognition, document analysis, Biomedical systems). The technology of NN is progressing rapidly and we understand that there is no limit in their applications. However, we have not managed to fully simulate the human brain so far. Research both on theory and practice is advancing and the international scientific community is seen novel achievements all the time.

  • NATO Science and Society NATO Science Committee and Committee on the Challenges of Modern Society
    NATO Science and Society NATO Science Committee and Committee on the Challenges of Modern Society CHANGES TO COME - BUT FIRST IN OUR HEADS The world changes, NATO adapts, our science programme evolves, and this Newsletter will soon be completely refashioned. Some will ask - why so many changes? Others might wonder about their implications. A few will no doubt regret the good old days, when everything was simpler, easier, better! The magic of time will give a new patina to the past. But we all know that the future will soon be the present, and then it will be gone. Tomorrow the innovations of today will take on the charm of nostalgia. So, let there be no holding back - let us embrace these reforms which are vital to ensure that our programme will still be as necessary, as lively, and as strong as ever in its primary vocation of uniting the scientific communities in their common research for progress. Many have already understood this in accepting the idea that, within the framework of the Alliance, this can only come about in the future through a better awareness of security. So I hope that large numbers of you will take up the challenge and propose projects in this direction, and support the transformed NATO. My Best Wishes for a Happy and Prosperous 2004. Jean Fournet The NATO Programme for Security Through Science This issue of the Newsletter will expand on the new NATO Programme for Security Through Science, which was announced in the last issue, and details of which have been posted at our renewed Security Through Science web site.
