NETLAB : algorithms for pattern recognitions : with 76 figures

This volume provides students, researchers and application developers with the knowledge and tools to get the most out of using neural networks and related data modelling techniques to solve pattern recognition problems. Each chapter covers a group of related pattern recognition techniques and includes a range of examples to show how these techniques can be applied to solve practical problems. Features of particular interest include: - A NETLAB toolbox which is freely available - Worked examples, demonstration programs and over 100 graded exercises - Cutting edge research made accessible for the first time in a highly usable form - Comprehensive coverage of visualisation methods, Bayesian techniques for neural networks and Gaussian Processes Although primarily a textbook for teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses in pattern recognition and neural networks, this book will also be of interest to practitioners and researchers who can use the toolbox to develop application solutions and new models.
