First sentence: Following the landmark work undertaken by Rumelhart and his colleagues during the 1980s (Rumelhart et al., 1986), artificial neural networks (ANNs) have drawn tremendous interest due to their demonstrated successful applications in many pattern recognition and modeling works, including image processing (Duranton, 1996), engineering tasks (Rafiq et al., 2001), financial modeling (Coakley &amp; Brown, 2000; Fadlalla &amp; Lin, 2001), manufacturing (Hans et al., 2000; Wu, 1992), biomedicine (Nazaren &amp; Behbehani, 2000), and so forth.
