Matlab codes used for the computer experiments in the text are available for download at: Refocused, revised and renamed to reflect the duality of neural networks and learning machines, this edition recognizes that the subject matter is richer when these topics are studied together. Ideas drawn from neural networks and machine learning are hybridized to perform improved learning tasks beyond the capability of either independently. Fluid and authoritative, this well-organized book represents the first comprehensive treatment of neural networks from an engineering perspective, providing extensive, state-of-the-art coverage that will expose readers to the myriad facets of neural networks and help them appreciate the technology's origin, capabilities, and potential applications.Examines all the important aspects of this emerging technolgy, covering the learning process, back propogation, radial basis functions, recurrent networks, self-organizing systems, modular networks, temporal processing, neurodynamics, and VLSI implementation. Integrates computer experiments throughout to demonstrate how neural networks are designed and perform in practice. Chapter objectives, problems, worked examples, a bibliography, photographs, illustrations, and a thorough glossary all reinforce concepts throughout. New chapters delve into such areas as support vector machines, and reinforcement learning/neurodynamic programming, plus readers will find an entire chapter of case studies to illustrate the real-life, practical applications of neural networks. A highly detailed bibliography is included for easy reference. For professional engineers and research scientists.

Third Edition

Simon Haykin

McMaster University, Canada

 

This third edition of a classic book presents a comprehensive treatment of neural networks and learning machines. These two pillars that are closely related. The book has been revised extensively to provide an up-to-date treatment of a subject that is continually growing in importance. Distinctive features of the book include:

• On-line learning algorithms rooted in stochastic gradient descent; small-scale and large-scale learning problems.

• Kernel methods, including support vector machines, and the representer theorem.

• Information-theoretic learning models, including copulas, independent components analysis (ICA), coherent ICA, and information bottleneck.

• Stochastic dynamic programming, including approximate and neurodynamic procedures.

• Sequential state-estimation algorithms, including Kalman and particle filters.

• Recurrent neural networks trained using sequential-state estimation algorithms.

• Insightful computer-oriented experiments.

 

Just as importantly, the book is written in a readable style that is Simon Haykin’s hallmark.
