I considered using it, however, other people's results seemed to indicate that it was not a promising area of study (at least not yet). I am reminded of the neural net tank identification system that was 100% in the lab, but could not identify tanks in the field. The reason, the images used in the lab had a slightly different background color for friendly tanks and enemy tanks, and so the neural net focused on the background color of the image and not on characteristics of the tanks. Without the ability to work on problems of this nature full time, the desired results would probably not be realized in a reasonable amount of time. I think that some elements of what neural nets really do, such as pattern recognition, can currently be hardcoded into a program much faster. Just my opinion.
