Traditional Chinese medicine is a complex system, the relationship between the information of the disease, between the information and the target of diagnosis, between the information of the disease and the recipe and medicine is often nonlinear, complex, fuzzy and non quantitative. Artificial neural network (ANN) is good at discovering implicit knowledge from the massive data, adequately simulating this non-linear mapping. It can build model of diagnosis and discrimination, es-tablish forward-looking decisions. Due to the above advantages, ANN technology maybe provide more scientific methods ...
