This volume contains the proceedings of the seventh Italian Workshop on Neural Nets WIRN VIETRI '95, organized by the International Institute for Advanced Scientific Studies "E R Caianiello" (IIASS) and Società Italiana Reti Neuroniche (SIREN).The spectrum of contributors and participants covers the activity of Italian research in the field. The papers of the two invited speakers, M J Jordan ("Sigmoid Belief Networks") and E Oja ("Principal and Independent Component Analysis"), and the two reviews ("Fast Learning Algorithms for Feedforward NN" and "ANN Ensembles: a Bayesian Standpoint") complete the highly qualified contents of the volume.
