"A Bradford book.""Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition takes to a new level the pioneering work in artificial neural networks by Stephen Grossberg and his colleagues. In a simple and accessible way it extends embedding field theory into areas of machine intelligence that have not been clearly dealt with before. Following a tutorial of existing neural networks for pattern classification, Nig…
"A Bradford book."Since its founding in 1989 by Terrence Sejnowski, Neural Computation has become the leading journal in the field. Foundations of Neural Computations collects, by topic, the most significant papers that have appeared in the journal over the past nine years. The present volume focuses on neural codes and representations, topics of broad interest to neuroscientists and modelers. …
"Granino A. Kom has been a Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Arizona and has worked in the aerospace industry for a decade. He is the author of ten other engineering texts and handbooks.""A Bradford Book.""Most neural network programs for personal computers simply control a set of fixed, canned network-layer algorithms with pulldown menus. This new tutorial offers hands-o…
"A Bradford book."Stephen Grossberg and his colleagues at Boston University's Center for Adaptive Systems are producing some of the most exciting research in the neural network approach to making computers "think." Packed with real-time computer simulations and rigorous demonstrations of these phenomena, this book includes results on vision, speech, cognitive information processing; adaptive pa…
"A Bradford book.""Artificial neural networks are nonlinear mapping systems whose structure is loosely based on principles observed in the nervous systems of humans and animals. The basic idea is that massive systems of simple units linked together in appropriate ways can generate many complex and interesting behaviors. This book focuses on the subset of feedforward artificial neural networks c…
Today--following housing bubbles, bank collapses, and high unemployment--the Internet remains the most reliable mechanism for fostering innovation and creating new wealth. The Internet's remarkable growth has been fueled by innovation. In this pathbreaking book, Barbara van Schewick argues that this explosion of innovation is not an accident, but a consequence of the Internet's architecture--a …
"A Bradford book."This timely overview and synthesis of recent work in both artificial neural networks and neurobiology seeks to examine neurobiological data from a network perspective and to encourage neuroscientists to participate in constructing the next generation of neural networks. Individual chapters were commissioned from selected authors to bridge the gap between present neural network…
The annual Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) conference is the flagship meeting on neural computation and machine learning. This volume contains the papers presented at the December 2006 meeting, held in Vancouver.
A Bradford book.""This book has its origins in a meeting, entitled "Toward replacement parts for the brain: intracranial implantations of hardward models of neural circuitry" that took place in Washington, D.C. in August 1989"--Preface.The continuing development of implantable neural prostheses signals a new era in bioengineering and neuroscience research. This collection of essays outlines cur…
"A Bradford book."An overview of neurotechnology, the engineering of robots based on animals and animal behavior.The goal of neurotechnology is to confer the performance advantages of animal systems on robotic machines. Biomimetic robots differ from traditional robots in that they are agile, relatively cheap, and able to deal with real-world environments. The engineering of these robots require…
