Exploring Neural Networks with C#

Foreword

I am very pleased to write the Foreword to this unique volume since I believe it is a very special publication that stands out among many others. It is about neural networks as practical tools capable of building trainable computing models. After training is completed, the models can provide solutions to difficult problems easily by capturing and interpreting knowledge from data. These neurocomputing models—as we call them—mimic nature and their biological prototypes such as brain and sense in their essential learning and adaptation abilities.

These naturally inspired models derive their power from the collective processing of neurons whose main advantage is the ability to learn and adapt to changing environments. As such techniques ...
