Neum

Neum is the only coastal town of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on Klek-Neum Bay in the Federation of BiH. Ceded by Ragusa to the Ottomans in 1699, it is a tourist town of about 3,000 people bypassed by the 2022 Peljesac Bridge.

Neumann problem

The Neumann problem, also called the second boundary value problem, is a partial differential equation problem that prescribes the normal derivative, not the value, on the boundary.

Neumann series

The Neumann series is the infinite series of powers of a bounded linear operator, the operator analog of the geometric series, named after Carl Gottfried Neumann.

Neural architecture search

Neural architecture search (NAS) is a machine learning method that automatically discovers neural network architectures for a task, using a search space, a search strategy, and performance estimation.

Neural audio codecs

A neural audio codec is a learned compression system that turns audio into discrete codes with an encoder, quantizer, and decoder, serving as the substrate for audio language models.

Neural autoantibody positive

Neural autoantibody positive (ICD-11 MA14.1A, 神経系自己抗体陽性) is a laboratory finding of antibodies against neuronal or glial antigens in serum or CSF, linked to autoimmune encephalitis and paraneoplastic syndromes but prone to false positives.

Neural belief propagation

Neural belief propagation, also called weighted belief propagation (WBP), is a family of neural decoders for error-correcting codes, introduced by Nachmani, Be'ery, and Burshtein in 2016.

Neural cell

Neural cell (Cell Ontology CL:0002319): any cell of the nervous system, including neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells, and neural stem cells; classified by morphological, physiological, molecular, and connectional criteria.

Neural cell adhesion

Neural cell adhesion: neuron binding via cell adhesion molecules (N-CAM, cadherins, L1, DCC, protocadherins) through homophilic and heterophilic mechanisms, regulating axon guidance, synaptic specificity, and plasticity.

Neural cellular automata

Neural cellular automata, or NCAs, are machine learning models in which a grid of cells is updated by a learned local rule, training patterns to grow and self-repair.

Neural coding

Neural coding is the study of how the nervous system represents information, with neurons carrying it through spike rate, spike timing, and coordinated population activity.

Neural collaborative filtering

Neural collaborative filtering (NCF) is a recommendation framework proposed in 2017 that replaces matrix factorization's dot product with a neural network that learns the user–item interaction function from implicit feedback.
