Featuring a concise five-part presentation of the concepts essential to neural network construction and application, this video focuses on software-oriented applications rather than hardware-based construction. It helps students and professionals effectively:
* learn state-of-the-art neural networks technology,
* understand the computing elements that make up simple associative networks,
* explore what functions neural networks can do best, and
* determine the future capabilities and limitations of neural network technology for their own fields.
Acting as a valuable companion to the video presentation, the manual includes:
* detailed text to back up material and concepts presented in the video,
* numerous figures, drawings, and extensive demonstrations,
* an extensive list of further resources and reading recommended by the author, and
* key words in neural networks vocabulary in boldface throughout the text.
