As I was researching the exact terminology and specifications for this blog on neural network technology, I did find a couple of interesting studies that were done. One was done with swimmers, but there was a lot of math and linear and non-linear regression being discussed in the study, and I was soon not quite in my element. However, I did find an interesting article regarding Symantec and IBM.
The article was a detailed explanation of the integration of IBM neural network technology with the patented Norton Anti-Virus technology. The purpose of the IBM neural network boot detection technology is to provide additional security by mimicking human neurons in learning the difference between infected and uninfected boot records. With the neural technology being shown so many viruses and non-viruses, the neural network learned to recognize viruses better than traditional hand-tuned human virus researchers. The system was shown to become faster and more reliable as time progressed.
Norton delivers this technology at no cost to its customers through its Live Update process. This process allows users of Norton to receive updates to the Virus definition database for free. This was an example of a company thinking ahead in time instead of looking back to design their future goals.
