Utilization of artificial neural networks and the TD-learning method for constructing intelligent decision support systems

The use of intelligent techniques in various decision support systems has recently become one of the most exciting and promising application areas. In this paper, we try to utilize Neural Networks (NNs) and the Temporal Dierence Learning (TD-Learning) Method to construct an intelligent decision support system for dealing stocks. We also briefly touch upon an intelligent sales prediction system which has been developed in our group. Ó 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved
