Neural Networks

Major recent developments in the field of artificial neural networks have led to the development of neural network systems for a wide range of applications. This is a collection of specially commissioned chapters from authors who have experience of neural networks applications and who have key positions in the field. The book opens with introductory material on neural networks, which is follwed by chapters on the application of these new techniques to practical problems in the specific ares of forecasting, control and robotics, and computer vision and image processing. The authors are from Europe and the US and this international background is reflected in the work they describe.
