This book presents a broad overview on the current various design modules and applications of artificial neural systems. Artificial neural networks are often dubbed as one of the most acknowledged technologies in the past twenty years. It has been broadly applied in a wide diversity of applications. The aim of this book is to present current developments of architectures, methodologies, and usage of artificial neural networks. The topics in this book majorly deal with two important aspects: the architecture aspect involving dealing with architectures, design, optimization, and the analysis of...

This book presents analysis and applications of self-organizing maps in various domains. The self-organizing map, first explained by Finnish scientist Teuvo Kohonen, can be used for a broad spectrum of fields and this book explains how the original self-organizing map along with its variants and extensions can be applied in diverse fields. These applications comprise of the examination of financial stability, the fault diagnosis of plants, the generation of well-composed heterogeneous teams and the application of the self-organizing map to atmospheric sciences.

Advanced information regarding the theory, concepts and applications of recurrent neural networks and the field of soft computing has been highlighted in this elaborative book. A broad spectrum of topics is encompassed in this book like neural networks and static modelling, neuro-fuzzy digital filter, ranking indices for fuzzy numbers, controller designs for nonlinear dynamic systems, etc. The aim of this book is to serve as a valuable source of reference for a wide range of readers including scientists, researchers and students. It consists of contributions made by veteran researchers from...
