The recent excitement about neural networks

Nature. 1989 Jan 12;337(6203):129-32. doi: 10.1038/337129a0.

Abstract

The remarkable properties of some recent computer algorithms for neural networks seemed to promise a fresh approach to understanding the computational properties of the brain. Unfortunately most of these neural nets are unrealistic in important respects.
