-A10.) Good introductory literature about Neural Networks ?
0.) The best (subjectively, of course -- please don't flame me):
Hecht-Nielsen, R. (1990). Neurocomputing. Addison Wesley.
Comments: "A good book", "comprises a nice historical overview and a chapter
about NN hardware. Well structured prose. Makes important concepts clear."
Hertz, J., Krogh, A., and Palmer, R. (1991). Introduction to the Theory of
Neural Computation. Addison-Wesley: Redwood City, California.
ISBN 0-201-50395-6 (hardbound) and 0-201-51560-1 (paperbound)
Comments: "My first impression is that this one is by far the best book on
the topic. And it's below $30 for the paperback."; "Well written, theoretical
(but not overwhelming)"; It provides a good balance of model development,
computational algorithms, and applications. The mathematical derivations
are especially well done"; "Nice mathematical analysis on the mechanism of
different learning algorithms"; "It is NOT for mathematical beginner.
If you don't have a good grasp of higher level math, this book can
be really tough to get through."
1.) Books for the beginner:
Aleksander, I. and Morton, H. (1990). An Introduction to Neural Computing.
Chapman and Hall. (ISBN 0-412-37780-2).
Comments: "This book seems to be intended for the first year of university
education."
Beale, R. and Jackson, T. (1990). Neural Computing, an Introduction.
Adam Hilger, IOP Publishing Ltd : Bristol. (ISBN 0-85274-262-2).
Comments: "It's clearly written. Lots of hints as to how to get the
adaptive models covered to work (not always well explained in the
original sources). Consistent mathematical terminology. Covers
perceptrons, error-backpropagation, Kohonen self-org model, Hopfield
type models, ART, and associative memories."
Dayhoff, J. E. (1990). Neural Network Architectures: An Introduction.
Van Nostrand Reinhold: New York.
Comments: "Like Wasserman's book, Dayhoff's book is also very easy to
understand".
McClelland, J. L. and Rumelhart, D. E. (1988).
Explorations in Parallel Distributed Processing: Computational Models of
Cognition and Perception (software manual). The MIT Press.
Comments: "Written in a tutorial style, and includes 2 diskettes of NN
simulation programs that can be compiled on MS-DOS or Unix (and they do
too !)"; "The programs are pretty reasonable as an introduction to some
of the things that NNs can do."; "There are *two* editions of this book.
One comes with disks for the IBM PC, the other comes with disks for the
Macintosh".
McCord Nelson, M. and Illingworth, W.T. (1990). A Practical Guide to Neural
Nets. Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc. (ISBN 0-201-52376-0).
Comments: "No formulas at all( ==> no good)"; "It does not have much
detailed model development (very few equations), but it does present many
areas of application. It includes a chapter on current areas of research.
A variety of commercial applications is discussed in chapter 1. It also
includes a program diskette with a fancy graphical interface (unlike the
PDP diskette)".
Orchard, G.A. & Phillips, W.A. (1991). Neural Computation: A
Beginner's Guide. Lawrence Earlbaum Associates: London.
Comments: "Short user-friendly introduction to the area, with a
non-technical flavour. Apparently accompanies a software package, but I
haven't seen that yet".
Wasserman, P. D. (1989). Neural Computing: Theory & Practice.
Van Nostrand Reinhold: New York. (ISBN 0-442-20743-3)
Comments: "Wasserman flatly enumerates some common architectures from an
engineer's perspective ('how it works') without ever addressing the underlying
fundamentals ('why it works') - important basic concepts such as clustering,
principal components or gradient descent are not treated. It's also full of
errors, and unhelpful diagrams drawn with what appears to be PCB board layout
software from the '70s. For anyone who wants to do active research in the
field I consider it quite inadequate"; "Okay, but too shallow"; "Quite
easy to understand";
"The best bedtime reading for Neural Networks. I have given
this book to numerous collegues who want to know NN basics, but who never
plan to implement anything. An excellent book to give your manager."
2.) The classics:
Kohonen, T. (1984). Self-organization and Associative Memory. Springer-Verlag:
New York. (2nd Edition: 1988; 3rd edition: 1989).
Comments: "The section on Pattern mathematics is excellent."
Rumelhart, D. E. and McClelland, J. L. (1986). Parallel Distributed
Processing: Explorations in the Microstructure of Cognition (volumes 1 & 2).
The MIT Press.
Comments: "As a computer scientist I found the two Rumelhart and McClelland
books really heavy going and definitely not the sort of thing to read if you
are a beginner."; "It's quite readable, and affordable (about $65 for both
volumes)."; "THE Connectionist bible.".
3.) Introductory journal articles:
Hinton, G. E. (1989). Connectionist learning procedures.
Artificial Intelligence, Vol. 40, pp. 185--234.
Comments: "One of the better neural networks overview papers, although the
distinction between network topology and learning algorithm is not always
very clear. Could very well be used as an introduction to neural networks."
Knight, K. (1990). Connectionist, Ideas and Algorithms. Communications of
the ACM. November 1990. Vol.33 nr.11, pp 59-74.
Comments:"A good article, while it is for most people easy to find a copy of
this journal."
Kohonen, T. (1988). An Introduction to Neural Computing. Neural Networks,
vol. 1, no. 1. pp. 3-16.
Comments: "A general review".
4.) Not-quite-so-introductory literature:
Anderson, J. A. and Rosenfeld, E. (Eds). (1988). Neurocomputing:
Foundations of Research. The MIT Press: Cambridge, MA.
Comments: "An expensive book, but excellent for reference. It is a
collection of reprints of most of the major papers in the field.";
Anderson, J. A., Pellionisz, A. and Rosenfeld, E. (Eds). (1990).
Neurocomputing 2: Directions for Research. The MIT Press: Cambridge, MA.
Comments: "The sequel to their well-known Neurocomputing book."
Caudill, M. and Butler, C. (1990). Naturally Intelligent Systems.
MIT Press: Cambridge, Massachusetts. (ISBN 0-262-03156-6).
Comments: "I guess one of the best books I read"; "May not be suited for
people who want to do some research in the area".
Khanna, T. (1990). Foundations of Neural Networks. Addison-Wesley: New York.
Comments: "Not so bad (with a page of erroneous formulas (if I remember
well), and #hidden layers isn't well described)."; "Khanna's intention
in writing his book with math analysis should be commended but he
made several mistakes in the math part".
Levine, D. S. (1990). Introduction to Neural and Cognitive Modeling.
Lawrence Erlbaum: Hillsdale, N.J.
Comments: "Highly recommended".
Lippmann, R. P. (April 1987). An introduction to computing with neural nets.
IEEE Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing Magazine. vol. 2,
no. 4, pp 4-22.
Comments: "Much acclaimed as an overview of neural networks, but rather
inaccurate on several points. The categorization into binary and continuous-
valued input neural networks is rather arbitrary, and may work confusing for
the unexperienced reader. Not all networks discussed are of equal importance."
Maren, A., Harston, C. and Pap, R., (1990). Handbook of Neural Computing
Applications. Academic Press. ISBN: 0-12-471260-6. (451 pages)
Comments: "They cover a broad area"; "Introductory with suggested
applications implementation".
Pao, Y. H. (1989). Adaptive Pattern Recognition and Neural Networks
Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc. (ISBN 0-201-12584-6)
Comments: "An excellent book that ties together classical approaches
to pattern recognition with Neural Nets. Most other NN books do not
even mention conventional approaches."
Rumelhart, D. E., Hinton, G. E. and Williams, R. J. (1986). Learning
representations by back-propagating errors. Nature, vol 323 (9 October),
pp. 533-536.
Comments: "Gives a very good potted explanation of backprop NN's. It gives
sufficient detail to write your own NN simulation."
Simpson, P. K. (1990). Artificial Neural Systems: Foundations, Paradigms,
Applications and Implementations. Pergamon Press: New York.
Comments: "Contains a very useful 37 page bibliography. A large number of
paradigms are presented. On the negative side the book is very shallow.
Best used as a complement to other books".
Zeidenberg. M. (1990). Neural Networks in Artificial Intelligence.
Ellis Horwood, Ltd., Chichester.
Comments: "Gives the AI point of view".
Zornetzer, S. F., Davis, J. L. and Lau, C. (1990). An Introduction to
Neural and Electronic Networks. Academic Press. (ISBN 0-12-781881-2)
Comments: "Covers quite a broad range of topics (collection of
articles/papers )."; "Provides a primer-like introduction and overview for
a broad audience, and employs a strong interdisciplinary emphasis".

Title: The Behavioral and Brain Sciences
Publish: Cambridge University Press
Remark: (Expensive as hell, I'm sure.)
This is a delightful journal that encourages discussion on a
variety of controversial topics. I have especially enjoyed reading
some papers in there by Dana Ballard and Stephen Grossberg (separate
papers, not collaborations) a few years back. They have a really neat
concept: they get a paper, then invite a number of noted scientists
in the field to praise it or trash it. They print these commentaries,
and give the author(s) a chance to make a rebuttal or concurrence.
Sometimes, as I'm sure you can imagine, things get pretty lively. I'm
reasonably sure they are still at it--I think I saw them make a call
for reviewers a few months ago. Their reviewers are called something
like Behavioral and Brain Associates, and I believe they have to be
nominated by current associates, and should be fairly well established
in the field. That's probably more than I really know about it but
maybe if you post it someone who knows more about it will correct any
errors I have made. The main thing is that I liked the articles I
read. (Note: remarks by Don Wunsch <dwunsch@blake.acs.washington.edu>)
