Synopsis

Providing an in-depth treatment of the main topics in neural networks this volume concentrates on multilayer networks and completely connected networks, as well as discussing both analog and digital networks. The central themes are dynamical behaviour, attractors and capacity. Boltzmann machines are also discussed. The subject is developed from scratch and does not use statistical physics. Because the volume adopts a pedagogical approach, explaining all steps in full, the style which the book takes it will appeal to engineers, computer scientists and applied mathematicians. The reader will learn the parameters and results that are most important for the design of neural networks and will be able to critically assess the existing commercial products or design a hardware or software implementation for him- or herself.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Providing an in-depth treatment of neural network models, this volume explains and proves the main results in a clear and accessible way. Topics covered include key concepts in neural networks, backpropagation, neurons in models of the brain, synchronous and discrete networks, differential mathematics, linear capacity, capacity from a signal to noise ratio, and neural networks and Markov chains. Each chapter ends with a suggested project designed to help the reader develop an integrated knowledge of the theory, placing it within a practical application domain. Neural Network Models: Theory and Projects concentrates on the essential parameters and results that will enable the reader to design hardware or software implementations of neural networks and to assess critically existing commercial products. It is suitable for final year, postgraduate and doctoral students in engineering, computing, applied mathematics, physics and biomedical systems, and will also be of interest to those working in science and industry who wish to obtain a firm grounding in the subject.
