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 озцгя artificial neural networks called multilayer perceptrons (MLP) These are the mostly widely used neural networks, with applications as diverse as finance (forecasting), manufacturing (process control), and science (speech and image recognition) This book presents an extensive and practical overview of almost every aspect of MLP methodology, progressing from an initial discussion of what MLPs are and how they might be used to an in-depth examination of technical factors affecting performance The book can be used as a tool kit by readers interested in applying networks to specific problems, yet it also presents theory and references outlining the last ten years of MLP research.  ISBN 0262181908.

Now, for the first time, publication of the landmark work in backpropagation! Scientists, engineers, statisticians, operations researchers, and other investigators involved in neural networks have long sought direct access to Paul Werboss groundbreaking, much-cited 1974 Harvard doctoral thesis, The Roots of Backpropagation, which озцдг laid the foundation of backpropagation Now, with the publication of its full text, these practitioners can go straight to the original material and gain a deeper, practical understanding of this unique mathematical approach to social studies and related fields In addition, Werbos has provided three more recent research papers, which were inspired by his original work, and a new guide to the field Originally written for readers who lacked any knowledge of neural nets, The Roots of Backpropagation firmly established both its historical and continuing significance as it: Demonstrates the ongoing value and new potential of backpropagation Creates a wealth of soundmathematical tools useful across disciplines Sets the stage for the emerging area of fast automatic differentiation Describes new designs for forecasting and control which exploit backpropagation Unifies concepts from Freud, Jung, biologists, and others into a new mathematical picture of the human mind and how it works Certifies the viability of Deutschs model of nationalism as a predictive toolas well as the utility of extensions of this central paradigm "What a delight it was to see Paul Werbos rediscover Freuds version of back-propagation Freud was adamant (in The Project for a Scientific Psychology) that selective learning could only take place if the presynaptic neuron was as influenced as is the postsynaptic neuron during excitation Such activation of both sides of the contact barrier (Freuds name for the synapse) was accomplished by reducing synaptic resistance by the absorption of energy at the synaptic membranes Not bad for 1895!But Werbos 1993 is even better " Karl H Pribram Professor Emeritus, Stanford University.  ISBN 0471598976.
