Neural Network

Introduction to Neural Networks for C#, Second Edition

Introduction to Neural Networks with C#, Second Edition, introduces the C# programmer to the world of Neural Networks and Artificial Intelligence. Neural network architectures, such as the feedforward, Hopfield, and self-organizing map architectures are discussed. Training techniques, such as backpropagation, genetic algorithms and simulated annealing are also introduced. Practical examples are given for each neural network. Examples include the traveling salesman problem, handwriting recognition, financial prediction, game strategy, mathematical functions, and Internet bots.

Encog 1.0 for Java Released

Encog 1.0 for Java has been released. Encog 1.0 for C# will be released soon, and is currently in the works. For now, Encog 0.5 is the current C# release. The following is a list of features that were implemented in Encog 1.0.

  • All Neural networks should implement the Network interface
  • Package structure reorg
  • Allow the three neural networks to be persisted in an XML format
  • Unify the three neural network types into a single solution
  • Add an image based data source
  • Add a CSV based data source

Two New Neural Network Books Coming Soon

I am nearing the final stages of two new books. Introduction to Neural Networks for Java and Introduction to Neural Networks for C#. The Java book is the Second Edition to the original "Introduction to Neural Networks with Java". This is a considerable update to the original text. The covers for the two new books can be seen below. The Java book is expected to be out in September,2008. The C# book by January,2009. More information on these two books will be posted in the coming weeks.

JOONE Updates for Introduction to Neural Networks with Java

There have been a few updates to JOONE since the publication of "Introduction to Neural Networks with Java". A future edition of the book will be updated with this information, but for now, this article updates the book.
