Field-oriented control of induction motors using artificial neural networks by Miao, Hua Chun.

“…An induction motor is the undisputed workhorse of industry and thus becomes the preferred choice in the variable-speed drive business. Its cost is low, maintenance is easy and the technology required to manufacture it is not advanced, but it lacks in precise controllability as the field-producing and torque-producing components of its stator current are linked. …”
