Intelligent Systems - Third Golden West International Conference: Vol I

The two volumes of the proceedings of the GWIC'94 conference include state-of-the-art research in the areas of neural networks, artificial intelligence, intelligent databases, image processing and algorithms with application to artificial intelligence. New methods for training feedforward neural networks that accelerate the convergence and verify the training are included. State-of-the-art adaptive back-propagation neural network algorithms based on selective retraining of patterns through error analysis and dynamic adaptation are described. Development of intelligent databases for effective use of information, formal specifications and design language for building large intelligent database applications is presented. State-of-the-art machine-learning expert systems for intelligent tutoring are also included. Finally, intelligent image processing and computer graphics algorithms with applications to medicine, geographic information systems, and representation of natural phenomena are described. This text is the first volume in a set of two.
