Hebbian Learning and Negative Feedback Networks

A state of the art specialist monograph on artificial neural networks which use Hebbian learning, covering a wide range of real experiments and which displays how it's approaches can be applied to analyse real problems. The book has a thorough approach and brings together a wide range of concepts into a coherent whole. Colin Fyfe writes with authority, and is a well-known, experienced researcher who has led a team working in this area at Paisley.

Concentrates on one specific architecture and learning rule which no other book does State of the art in artificial neural networks which use Hebbian learning A comparative study of a variety of techniques that have been drawn from extensions of one network The close link between statistics and artificial neural networks is made clear No other direct competition

Klappentext

This book is the outcome of a decade s research into a speci?c architecture and associated learning mechanism for an arti?cial neural network: the - chitecture involves negative feedback and the learning mechanism is simple Hebbian learning. The research began with my own thesis at the University of Strathclyde, Scotland, under Professor Douglas McGregor which culminated with me being awarded a PhD in 1995 [52], the title of which was Negative Feedback as an Organising Principle for Arti?cial Neural Networks . Naturally enough, having established this theme, when I began to sup- vise PhD students of my own, we continued to develop this concept and this book owes much to the research and theses of these students at the Applied Computational Intelligence Research Unit in the University of Paisley. Thus we discuss work from Dr. Darryl Charles [24] in Chapter 5. Dr. Stephen McGlinchey [127] in Chapter 7. Dr. Donald MacDonald [121] in Chapters 6 and 8. Dr. Emilio Corchado [29] in Chapter 8. We brie?y discuss one simulation from the thesis of Dr. Mark Girolami [58] in Chapter 6 but do not discuss any of the rest of his thesis since it has already appeared in book form [59]. We also must credit Cesar Garcia Osorio, a current PhD student, for the comparative study of the two Exploratory Projection Pursuit networks in Chapter 8. All of Chapters 3 to 8 deal with single stream arti?cial neural networks.
