Neural networks are powerful pattern classifiers that are normally thought to require custom VLSI devices in order to obtain the advantages of their inherent parallelism. By exploiting N-tuple techniques, the real-time application of such networks is possible, using conventional computers, for such tasks as recognising and locating facial features.}, title = {Neurons, N-tuples and faces}, journal = {Computing & Control Engineering Journal}, issue = {4}, volume = {1}, year = {1990}, month = {July}, pages = {173-183(10)}, publisher ={}, copyright = {© The Institution of Electrical Engineers}, url = {https://digital-library.theiet.org/;jsessionid=2huqp7928ju79.x-iet-live-01content/journals/10.1049/cce_19900050} }
