Intelligent Systems Third Golden West International Conference: Edited and Selected Papers . Volumes I & II. (Theory and Decision Library D:)

The two volumes of the proceedings of the GWIC'94 conference include state of the art research in the areas of neural networks, artificial intelligence, intelligent data bases, image processing, and algorithms with application to artificial intelligence. New methods for training feedforward neural networks that accelerate the convergence and verify the training are included. State of the art adaptive back-propagation neural network algorithms based on selective retraining of patterns through error analysis and dynamic adaptation are described. Development of intelligent data bases for effective use of information, formal specifications and design language for building large intelligent data base applications is presented. State of the art machine learning expert systems for intelligent tutoring are also included. Finally, intelligent image processing and computer graphics algorithms with applications to medicine, geographic information systems, and representation of natural phenomena are described.
