Anpassningsnätverk

Anpassningsnätverk, often translated as adaptive networks or adaptive systems, refers to a broad class of computational or biological systems designed to modify their behavior or structure over time in response to external stimuli or internal states. This adaptation is a key characteristic, allowing the network to learn, optimize, or simply survive in dynamic environments.

In the realm of computer science and artificial intelligence, anpassningsnätverk commonly refers to algorithms or architectures that adjust their parameters based on data. Examples include neural networks that undergo training to improve their performance on a specific task, or control systems that adapt their output to maintain a desired state despite disturbances. The goal is often to achieve a better fit to the data or a more efficient operation.

Biological systems also exhibit adaptive network characteristics. For instance, the human brain is a highly adaptive network where connections between neurons strengthen or weaken based on experience, a process known as synaptic plasticity. This plasticity underlies learning and memory. Similarly, ecosystems can be viewed as adaptive networks where populations and their interactions change in response to environmental pressures. The fundamental principle across these diverse applications is the system's ability to change and evolve in a non-static manner.
