摘要
I address whether neural networks perform computations in the sense Of Computability theory and computer science. I explicate and defend the following theses. (1) Many neural networks compute-they perform computations. (2) Some neural networks compute in a classical way. Ordinary digital computers, which are very large networks of logic gates, belong in this class of neural networks. (3) Other neural networks compute hi a non-classical way. (4) Yet other neural networks do not perform computations. Brains may well fall into this last class. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
