A vague description is as follows:
! A NN is a network of many very simple processors ("units"), each with a
! (small amount of) local memory, who are connected by unidirectional
! communication channels ("connections"), which carry numeric (as
! opposed to symbolic) data.
! The units operate only on their local data and on the inputs
! they receive via the connections.

The design motivation is what distinguishes neural networks from other
mathematical techniques:

+ Title: The Behavioral and Brain Sciences

+ 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 <dwu...@blake.acs.washington.edu>)

unread,
Sep 30, 1991, 9:27:37 AM9/30/91
to
I have read this discussion group for most of this year. Many of the
articles pertain to NN's per se, it seems. However, I am interested in
the process of preparing data (e.g. normalizing data) for NN consumption.

To the extent that I have limited practicle experience with NN's (e.g.
played with some simulators provided in a text book), and limited
theoretical knowledge of NN's, I am uncertain as to how to proceed
with application development. It would seem that there are a fair
number of NN simulators available. Once acquired, I am uncertain how
some kinds of data might be employeed.

Are there any texts on this subject? Is there interest in exchanging
descriptions of relavent personal experience here?

thanks in advance.
