Netlab: Algorithms for Pattern Recognition
Features of particular
interest include:
- A NETLAB toolbox which is freely available via the Internet from here.
- Worked
examples, demonstration programs and over 100 graded exercises
- Cutting edge research made accessible for the first time in a highly usable form
- Comprehensive coverage of visualisation methods, Bayesian techniques for neural networks and Gaussian
Processes
Although primarily a textbook for teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses in pattern recognition and neural networks, this book will also be of interest to practitioners and researchers who can use the toolbox to develop application solutions and new models. The book is written by Ian Nabney is published by Springer in their series Advances in Pattern Recognition. The cost is £24.50 and the ISBN number is 1-85233-440-1. Orders can be placed through the Springer web site http://www.springer.de or their sales department (tel. +44 1483 418822); it is also available from on-line sellers. This book has the following features:
- Supplies both algorithm knowledge and practical tools for a principled approach to application development.
- Brings together relevant theory with details of how to implement models efficiently and flexibly.
- Makes some of the leading edge research in this area accessible in a highly usable form.
- Provides researchers with a tool kit as a basis for developing new ideas.
- Worked examples and demonstration programs illustrate the theory and help the reader understand the algorithms and how to use them.
