Book Description

For centuries, people have been fascinated by the possibility of building an artificial system that behaves intelligently. Now there is a new entry in this arena - neural networks. Naturally Intelligent Systems offers a comprehensive introduction to these exciting systems. It provides a technically accurate, yet down-to-earth discussion of neural networks, clearly explaining the underlying concepts of key neural network designs, how they are trained, and why they work. Throughout, the authors present actual applications that illustrate neural networks' utility in the new world.

Maureen Caudill is a consultant based in San Diego, and author of the popular "Neural Network Primer" articles in AI Expert. Charles Butler is a Principal Research Scientist at Physical Sciences Inc. in Alexandria, Virginia.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Good intro to neural network concepts.......2002-03-19

This book walks through practical examples of various neural network designs and their relationships among eachother.

3 out of 5 stars Needs more pictures.......2001-02-16

It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, this book chose the thousand-word route in most cases. Neural nets are ideal candidates for illustrations. So, why they decided to use endless descriptions is beyond me. It is like giving directions over the phone when a map would get to the point much faster.

It also needed to explain more conceptually how neural nets actually work, not just how they are arranged. Examples where the net matches one-to-one with an actual image or pattern are easy to follow, but how they recognize different variations of patterns (variety) I never got a good feel for from this book. However, the description of an Adeline node was pretty good.

4 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to Artificial Neural Systems.......1999-08-20

The book is a very inspiring introduction to artificial neural computing. It explains the intutive motivation behind the design of almost all major artificial neural models. It explains insight in simple english. This book along with a mathematical rigourous book can provide a very good understanding on the modern neural network research.
