Deep Neural Networks WASD Neuronet Models, Algorithms, and Applications Chapman & Hall/CRC Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Series

Toward Deep Neural Networks: WASD Neuronet Models, Algorithms, and Applications introduces the outlook and extension toward deep neural networks, with a focus on the weights-and-structure determination (WASD) algorithm. Based on the authors? 20 years of research experience on neuronets, the book explores the models, algorithms, and applications of the WASD neuronet, and allows reader to extend the techniques in the book to solve scientific and engineering problems. The book will be of interest to engineers, senior undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers in the fields of neuronets, computer mathematics, computer science, artificial intelligence, numerical algorithms, optimization, simulation and modeling, deep learning, and data mining.

Features
