Which of the following statements about neural networks is incorrect? Neural networks are adept at recognizing subtle, hidden, and newly emerging patterns within complex data. Neural networks are able to interpret incomplete inputs. Neural networks can assist users in solving a wide range of problems. Neural networks attempt to mimic human experts by applying expertise in a specific domain.

The blackboard displays the recommendation.

Which of the following statements concerning expert systems is false? The knowledge base contains facts. The knowledge base contains rules. An expert system can explain its recommendation. The blackboard displays the recommendation. Expert systems cannot learn from their own mistakes

All of these statements are true

Which of the following statements is false? In genetic algorithms, crossover means combining portions of good outcomes. Generic algorithms are best suited for decision making where there are thousands of solutions. Users have to tell the generic algorithm what constitutes a "good" solution. In genetic algorithms, mutation means randomly trying combinations and evaluating the outcome. All of these statements are true.
