In a nutshell, ART stands for "adaptive resonance theory", and is a system that can create and organize categories for patterns it is exposed to. It attempts to mimic the human ability of self-organization, where recognition surfaces from environmental interaction. ART can dynamically modify the coding it uses for recognition of steady states in patterns and the suppression of potentially disruptive patterns. The paper you should probably wade through if you really want to learn about ART is entitled _A Massively Parallel Architecture for a Self- Organizing Neural Pattern Recognition Machine_ by Gail Carpenter and Stephen Grossberg. My copy is dated February 1986. Hecht-Nielsen Neurocomputer has a product called AR/NET that implements the Grossberg/Carpenter ART #1 and #2.
