Cybernetics is essentially control theory, and many of the methods in neural network research came from there. For example backpropagation can be traced back to Pontryagin in the 1950s. Training a nonlinear system to behave in a way you want is the raison d’etre of optimal control theory. But I wouldn’t say it’s the birthing place of neural networks, personally. | ||
