Systems and its components.
a) Explanation of Advantages and Disadvantages of Neural Networks (NN).
b) Definition of Expert Systems and its components.
Answer: a) Advantages of Neural Networks:
Neural networks are used to forecast some complex data patterns. When designed properly,
they can be used as experts for a particular project. They have the ability to adjust to the
