About this Item

Neuware - This volume of research papers comprises the proceedings of the first International Conference on Mathematics of Neural Networks and Applications (MANNA), which was held at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford from July 3rd to 7th, 1995 and attended by 116 people. The meeting was strongly supported and, in addition to a stimulating academic programme, it featured a delightful venue, excellent food and accommo dation, a full social programme and fine weather - all of which made for a very enjoyable week. This was the first meeting with this title and it was run under the auspices of the Universities of Huddersfield and Brighton, with sponsorship from the US Air Force (European Office of Aerospace Research and Development) and the London Math ematical Society. This enabled a very interesting and wide-ranging conference pro gramme to be offered. We sincerely thank all these organisations, USAF-EOARD, LMS, and Universities of Huddersfield and Brighton for their invaluable support. The conference organisers were John Mason (Huddersfield) and Steve Ellacott (Brighton), supported by a programme committee consisting of Nigel Allinson (UMIST), Norman Biggs (London School of Economics), Chris Bishop (Aston), David Lowe (Aston), Patrick Parks (Oxford), John Taylor (King's College, Lon don) and Kevin Warwick (Reading). The local organiser from Huddersfield was Ros Hawkins, who took responsibility for much of the administration with great efficiency and energy. The Lady Margaret Hall organisation was led by their bursar, Jeanette Griffiths, who ensured that the week was very smoothly run.

Synopsis

This text examines the mathematics, probability, statistics, and computational theory underlying neural networks and their applications. In addition to the theoretical work, the book covers a considerable range of neural network topics such as learning and training, neural network classifiers, memory-based networks, self-organizing maps and unsupervised learning, Hopfeld networks, radial basis function networks, and general network modelling and theory. Added to the book's mathematical and neural network topics are applications in chemistry, speech recognition, automatic control, nonlinear programming, medicine, image processing, finance, time series, and dynamics. As a result, the book surveys a wide range of recent research on the theoretical foundations of creating neural network models in a variety of application areas.
