Product Description

Product Description

For graduate-level neural network courses offered in the departments of Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science.

 

Neural Networks and Learning Machines, Third Edition is renowned for its thoroughness and readability. This well-organized and completely up-to-date text remains the most comprehensive treatment of neural networks from an engineering perspective. This is ideal for professional engineers and research scientists.

 

Matlab codes used for the computer experiments in the text are available for download at: http://www.pearsonhighered.com/haykin/

 

Refocused, revised and renamed to reflect the duality of neural networks and learning machines, this edition recognizes that the subject matter is richer when these topics are studied together. Ideas drawn from neural networks and machine learning are hybridized to perform improved learning tasks beyond the capability of either independently.

From the Back Cover

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.

I bought this book to get an up to date view of machine learning and though heavily mathematical this book is certainly worth the effort in areas that take your fancy.

I especially like the way Haykin shows how classical ideas e.g. eigenvector decomposition fit within a neural framework - principle component analysis by a single neuron.

My reason for only giving 4 stars is the lack of actual examples. The Lena pictures were very instructive, more of these types of real world examples would be useful.

I still have lots more to read so may post an update later.

Neural Networks and Learning Machines (3rd Edition) 26 Mar 2010
By Alberto Montebelli - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
In general I find the reviews on Amazon.com very useful. Nevertheless, so far this book is collecting a relatively high number of the funniest comments, together with ratings that currently hide a lot of its real value. This third edition has much in common with the classic and more fairly rated "S. Haykin, Neural Networks: A Comprehensive Foundation (2nd Edition)", in particular for its highly technical/mathematical approach. Refer to that book and to its pretty exhaustive and often well written reviews.

Kindle Edition Riddled With Typos 12 Feb 2012
By W. Birkett - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book. However, the Kindle edition is full of errors. There are hundreds of missing spaces and extra hyphens. That is annoying. The serious problem (that led me to write this review) is that math symbols used in the text are frequently wrong and/or indecipherable. This is a math book. These errors are just unacceptable. I'm sure the author would be horrified to see what Amazon has done to his masterpiece!

Decent book 5 Dec 2010
By Desmond - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Used this textbook for my EE570 (computational intelligence and neural networking) course at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. The book is ok, but could really use MORE examples and explain things in a better manner. But I suppose it is the best of the books out there for such a niche subject material!
