The chapter discusses selected problems of applications of Standard (deterministic) Neural Networks (SNN) but the main attention is focused on Bayesian Neural Networks (BNNs). In Sections 2 and 3 the problems of regression analysis, over-fitting and regularization are discussed basing on two types of network, i.e. Feed-forward Layered Neural Network (FLNN) and Radial Basis Function NN (RBFN). Application of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is discussed as a method for reduction of input space dimensionality. In Section 4 the application of Kalman filtering to learning of SNNs is presented. Section 5 is devoted to discussion of some basics related to Bayesian inference. Then Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Maximum A Posterior (MAP) methods are presented as a basis for formulation of networks SNN-ML and SNN-MAP. A more general Bayesian framework corresponding to formulation of simple, semi-probabilistic network S-BNN, true probabilistic T-BNN and Gaussian Process GP-BNN is discussed. Section 6 is devoted to the analysis of four study cases, related mostly to the analysis of structural engineering and material mechanics problems.
