Would some one recommend a good primer on the new approaches on neural-nets? (The last I've seen was a *very* old book by M. Minsky that was pretty low-level - I'd like something more up to date.) I'd prefer email, if possible. Thanks. -- Steve Wampler {....!arizona!naucse!sbw}

I'm not sure how detailed an intro you want, but I found: "The Neural Networks Primer" -- Maureen Caudill for AI Expert magazine to be a quick and simple introduction. This is actually a series of 8 installments reprinted from AI Expert magazine. The articles introduce ideas such as: backprop, delta rule, Kohonen learning, and Adaptive Resonance Theory... I'd be interested in getting other peoples opinions on the utility of this "Primer"... -David -------------------------------------------------------------------- David Perry Greene || ARPA: dg1v@andrew.cmu.edu GSIA /Robotics || dpg@isl1.ri.cmu.edu Carnegie Mellon Univ. || BITNET: dg1v%andrew@vb.cc.cmu.edu Pittsburgh, PA 15213 || UUCP: !harvard!andrew.cmu.edu!dg1v -------------------------------------------------------------------- "You're welcome to use my opinions, just don't get them all wrinkled."
