Description
An integrated design approach to ANNs for pattern recognition applications, investigating three topics of the system design methodology, including several model definitions, architectural descriptions and hardware implementations. Following an overview, engineering applications of ANNs to fuzzy clustering, speech recognition, classification and pattern recognition are covered. Aimed at researchers and graduate engineers working in the area of VLSI circuit and system design, as well as for reference on senior undergraduate level courses on parallel neural computing and VLSI system applications, David Zhangs book will prove useful to understanding this new and exciting discipline.
