wcalvin@well.UUCP (William Calvin) (02/19/88)

Several excellent primers on neural-like networks have come out in the
last month.  Easiest is 
  Jack D. Cowan and David H. Sharp
  Neural nets and artificial intelligence
  Daedalus's special AI issue (Winter 1988) 117(1):85-122
with the Dreyfus' article in the same issue being particularly interesting
for the perceptron political history.  Available from some newstands or by
sending five dollars to DAEDALUS Business Office, P.O. Box 515, Canton MA
02021 USA.
  The second set of good primers (one by Kohonen, the other by Grossberg)
are in the first issue of Neural Networks, the official journal of the
International Neural Network Society.  Easiest way to get a copy is to
write the publisher for a free sample copy:  Pergamon Journals Inc.,
Maxwell House, Fairview Park, Elmsford NY 10523 USA (or Headington Hill
Hall, Oxford OX3 0BW  U.K.).
