Neural Networks in Computer Intelligence
Description:... "Neural Networks in Computer Intelligence provides basic concepts, algorithms, and analysis of important neural network models developed to date, with emphasis on the importance of knowledge in intelligent system design. The book bridges the gap between artificial intelligence and neural networks. Unlike many other network books, this book pioneers the effort to offer a unified perspective which can be used to integrate intelligence technologies. The broad coverage of the book and the emphasis on basic principles can accommodate the diverse background of readers. With little technical background, students, professionals, and practitioners can be guided through the book and develop a sufficient grasp of the material. The book provides a step-by-step introduction to artificial neural networks and relates them to symbolic techniques where appropriate. After presenting basic neural network computational models in the beginning chapters, the text takes the reader through more advanced models organized around vital scientific and engineering topics from the perspective of computer intelligence. Neural Networks in Computer Intelligence formulates each important neural network algorithm in a consistent and coherent format and includes end-of-chapter problems for enhancing the student's understanding of both theory and application. A PC disk containing an object-oriented neural network software package is enclosed in this book. This software provides the facilities of building and operating a high-performance knowledge-based neural network as well as a general back-propagation neural network of any configuration for various applications"--Page 4 of cover.
