Neural Networks: Advances and Applications

It is expected that Neural Networks will find their niche among the methods and techniques that computer scientists use for intrinsically difficult problems. An attraction of Neural Networks is the dialogue established between computer science, biology, physics, psychology, numerical and non-linear analysis, and other areas. In the future, it may be discovered that Neural Networks are useful for the computationally fast and approximate solution of certain decision problems which are based on simultaneously acting diverse criteria with information of different forms. This book is a snapshot of academic and industrial research in Neural Network theory and of its major applications, written by active contributors to the field, including computer scientists, electrical engineers and physicists.
