The approach is algorithmic for easy implementation on a computer, which makes this a refreshing what-why-and-how text that contrasts with the theoretical approach and pie-in-the-sky hyperbole of many books on neural networks. It covers the standard decision-theoretic pattern recognition of clustering via minimum distance, graphical and structural methods, and Bayesian discrimination. \u003cbr\u003e Pattern recognizers evolve across the sections into perceptrons, a layer of perceptrons, multiple-layered perceptrons, functional link nets, and radial basis function networks. Other networks covered in the process are learning vector quantization networks, self-organizing maps, and recursive neural networks. Backpropagation is derived in complete detail for one and two hidden layers for both unipolar and bipolar sigmoid activation functions. The more efficient fullpropagation, quickpropagation, cascade correlation, and various methods such as strategic search, conjugate gradients, and genetic algorithms are described. Advanced methods are also described, including the full training algorithms for radial basis function networks and random vector functional link nets, as well as competitive learning networks and fuzzy clustering algorithms. \u003cbr\u003eSpecial topics covered include: \u003cbr\u003efeature engineering \u003cbr\u003edata engineering \u003cbr\u003eneural engineering of network architectures \u003cbr\u003evalidation and verification of the trained networks \u003cbr\u003e This textbook is ideally suited for a senior undergraduate or graduate course in pattern recognition or neural networks for students in computer science, electrical engineering, and computer engineering.
