Neural Network Design - 2nd Edition

Since this is a book on the design of neural networks, our choice of topics was guided by two principles. First, we wanted to present the most useful and practical neural network architectures, learning rules and training techniques. Second, we wanted the book to be complete in itself and to flow easily from one chapter to the next. For this reason, various introductory materials and chapters on applied mathematics are included just before they are needed for a particular subject. In summary, we have chosen some topics because of their practical importance in the application of neural networks, and other topics because of their importance in explaining how neural networks operate.
