Python: Deeper Insights into Machine Learning

Other neural network architectures

In this chapter, we discussed one of the most popular feedforward neural network representations, the multi-layer perceptron. Neural networks are currently one of the most active research topics in the machine learning field, and there are many other neural network architectures that are well beyond the scope of this book. If you are interested in learning more about neural networks and algorithms for deep learning, I recommend reading the introduction and overview; Y. Bengio. Learning Deep Architectures for AI. Foundations and Trends in Machine Learning, 2(1):1–127, 2009. Yoshua Bengio's book is currently freely available at http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~bengioy/papers/ftml_book.pdf.
