Neural Networks and Learning Machines Third Edition Simon Haykin McMaster University, Canada This third edition of a classic book presents a comprehensive treatment of neural networks and learning machines. These two pillars that are closely related. The book has been revised extensively to provide an up-to-date treatment of a subject that is continually growing in importance. Distinctive features of the book include: • On-line learning algorithms rooted in stochastic gradient descent; small-scale and large-scale learning problems. • Kernel methods, including support vector machines, and the representer theorem. • Information-theoretic learning models, including copulas, independent components analysis (ICA), coherent ICA, and information bottleneck. • Stochastic dynamic programming, including approximate and neurodynamic procedures. • Sequential state-estimation algorithms, including Kalman and particle filters. • Recurrent neural networks trained using sequential-state estimation algorithms. • Insightful computer-oriented experiments. Just as importantly, the book is written in a readable style that is Simon Haykin’s hallmark. |
