Introduction to Neural Networks with Java, 1st Edition Submitted by jeffheaton on Sun, 12/23/2007 - 09:03 in  Introduction to Neural Networks with Java Outdated Material Programming Neural Networks in Java will show the intermediate to advanced Java programmer how to create neural networks. This book attempts to teach neural network programming through two mechanisms. First the reader is shown how to create a reusable neural network package that could be used in any Java program. Second, this reusable neural network package is applied to several real world problems that are commonly faced by IS programmers. This book covers such topics as Kohonen neural networks, multi layer neural networks, training, back propagation, and many other topics. Description Introduction to Neural Networks in Java introduces the Java programmer to the world of Neural Networks and Artificial Intelligence. Neural network architectures such as the feedforward backpropagation, Hopfield, and Kohonen networks are discussed. Additional AI topics, such as Genetic Algorithms and Simulated Annealing, are also introduced. Practical examples are given for each neural network. Examples include the Traveling Salesman problem, handwriting recognition, fuzzy logic and learning mathematical functions. All Java source code can be downloaded online. In addition to showing the programmer how to construct these neural networks, the book discusses the Java Object Oriented Neural Engine (JOONE). JOONE is a free open source Java neural engine. Table of Contents Chapter 1: An Introduction to Neural Networks The structure of neural networks will be briefly introduced in this chapter. Also discussed is the history of neural networks, since it is important to know where neural networks came from, as well as where they are ultimately headed. Finally, there is a broad overview of both the biological and historic context of neural networks. Chapter 2: Understanding Neural Networks A neural network can be train
