Comments.Text: Hi. Can you clarify what you mean by "specific hi-tech orgs"? And what industry are you referring to when you are looking for applications of NNs in those industries?

Comments.Text: @nbro Thanks for your reply. ‘Specific hi-tech’ companies refer to handful of companies such as Google et al who are involved in developing NN tech. What I am interested in knowing is if NN tech is used by companies just as any company uses IT. IS NN or even ML in general use widespread?
