Neural networks provide a powerful new technology to model and control nonlinear and complex systems. In this book, the authors present a detailed formulation of neural networks from the information-theoretic viewpoint. They show how this perspective provides new insights into the design theory of neural networks. In particular they show how these methods may be applied to the topics of supervised and unsupervised learning including feature extraction, linear and non-linear independent component analysis, and Boltzmann machines. Readers are assumed to have a basic understanding of neural networks, but all the relevant concepts from information theory are carefully introduced and explained. Consequently, readers from several different scientific disciplines, notably cognitive scientists, engineers, physicists, statisticians, and computer scientists, will find this to be a very valuable introduction to this topic.

1. Introdudion This volume collects together the refereed versions of 25 papers presented at the 5th Neural Computation and Psychology Workshop (NCPW5), held at the University of Birmingham from the 8th until the lOth of September 1998. The NCPW is a well-established, lively forum, which brings together researchers from a range of disciplines (artificial intelligence, mathematics, cognitive science, computer science, neurobiology, philosophy and psychology), all of whom are interested in the application of neurally-inspired (connectionist) models to topics in psychology. The theme of the 5th workshop in the series was Connectionist models in cognitive neuroscience', and the workshop aimed to bring together papers focused on the inter-relations between functional (psychological) accounts of cognition and neural accounts of underlying brain processes, linked by connectionist models. From the very beginnings of modern psychology, with the work of William James and his contemporaries, researchers have believed it important to relate behavioural analyses to neurological underpinnings. However, with the advent of connectionist modelling, where models are at least inspired by neuronal processes, this enterprise has received a new boost. With this volume, we hope that this volume adds one further mosaic stone to this ambitious objective, of unifying functional and neuronal accounts of performance.

Neural Networks for Conditional Probability Estimation
Forecasting Beyond Point Predictions
Häftad, Engelska, 1999
536 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Conventional applications of neural networks usually predict a single value as a function of given inputs. In forecasting, for example, a standard objective is to predict the future value of some entity of interest on the basis of a time series of past measurements or observations. Typical training schemes aim to minimise the sum of squared deviations between predicted and actual values (the 'targets'), by which, ideally, the network learns the conditional mean of the target given the input. If the underlying conditional distribution is Gaus sian or at least unimodal, this may be a satisfactory approach. However, for a multimodal distribution, the conditional mean does not capture the relevant features of the system, and the prediction performance will, in general, be very poor. This calls for a more powerful and sophisticated model, which can learn the whole conditional probability distribution. Chapter 1 demonstrates that even for a deterministic system and 'be nign' Gaussian observational noise, the conditional distribution of a future observation, conditional on a set of past observations, can become strongly skewed and multimodal. In Chapter 2, a general neural network structure for modelling conditional probability densities is derived, and it is shown that a universal approximator for this extended task requires at least two hidden layers. A training scheme is developed from a maximum likelihood approach in Chapter 3, and the performance ofthis method is demonstrated on three stochastic time series in chapters 4 and 5.
Principles of Neural Model Identification, Selection and Adequacy
With Applications to Financial Econometrics
Häftad, Engelska, 1999

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Neural networks have had considerable success in a variety of disciplines including engineering, control, and financial modelling. However a major weakness is the lack of established procedures for testing mis-specified models and the statistical significance of the various parameters which have been estimated. This is particularly important in the majority of financial applications where the data generating processes are dominantly stochastic and only partially deterministic. Based on the latest, most significant developments in estimation theory, model selection and the theory of mis-specified models, this volume develops neural networks into an advanced financial econometrics tool for non-parametric modelling. It provides the theoretical framework required, and displays the efficient use of neural networks for modelling complex financial phenomena. Unlike most other books in this area, this one treats neural networks as statistical devices for non-linear, non-parametric regression analysis.

The neural network is one of the most exciting new tools for information processing to have emerged over the last few years. An increasing number of computer tasks require the use of human-like capabilities, a fact which has caused severe problems for many industries and services in the past. Now, however, neural networks are being developed which can handle a broad range of tasks in vision, speed recognition, time series analysis, robotics and control. They have proved particularly useful in dealing with problems which cannot be solved by explicit rules, which involve noisy data, and which allow a system to be trained by examples. In response to increasing neural network activity during the 1980s, the DEANNA Project (Database for European Artificial Neural Network Activity) was established in 1990 (ESPRIT Project P5668). The main objective of this 15-month EC-funded project was to construct a database of current European neural computing research which could be used to assess the success of various applications, and to pinpoint the major difficulties in technology transfer.The project also aimed to create a European neural network advisory structure, and to develop neural computing simulators and demonstrators. This text contains a comprehensive overview of neural networks based on the findings of the DEANNA Project, together with a view of the broader framework of the subject in a world context. The first part of the report describes neural nets and their available hardware and software simulators. The second part discusses deeper principles, and reviews a range of applications. The final section describes the results of the DEANNA questionnaire, and provides a summary of developments in current European neural network activity.
