Applications of Neural Networks

This text gives a detailed description of 13 practical applications of neural networks, selected because the tasks performed by the neural networks are real and significant. The contributions are from leading researchers in neural networks and, as a whole, provide a balanced coverage across a range of application areas and algorithms. The book is divided into three sections. Section A is an introduction to neural networks for nonspecialists. Section B looks at examples of applications using "Supervised Training". Section C presents a number of examples of "Unsupervised Training". This book is designed for neural network enthusiasts and interested, open-minded sceptics. It leads the latter through the fundamentals into a varied series of neural success stories.
