Neural Networks Theory

This volume details more than 40 years of Soviet and Russian neural network research. The systematized methodology of neural networks synthesis is presented in the monograph which is intending for works in different regimes: teaching, self-teaching (clusterization), teaching with a teacher of finite qualification and other regimes. The different methods of multilayer networks synthesis to the different optimization criterions are presented: minimum average risk function, minimum average risk function with different limits to its components. It is a treasure trove that should be mined by the thousands of researchers and practitioners worldwide in neural networks who have not previously had access to this work.

Wonderful and important book from one of the leaders in neural network theory A major contribution to the neural network literature Includes forewords by Lotfi Zadeh, Robert Hecht Nielsen and Sun-Ichi Amari A treasure trove that should be mined by the thousands of researchers and practitioners worldwide in neural networks who have not previously had access to the fruits of Soviet and Russian neural network research
