Inhaltsangabe

This book contains the proceedings of the International Confer­ ence on Artificial Neural Networks which was held between September 13 and 16 in Amsterdam. It is the third in a series which started two years ago in Helsinki and which last year took place in Brighton. Thanks to the European Neural Network Society, ICANN has emerged as the leading conference on neural networks in Europe. Neural networks is a field of research which has enjoyed a rapid expansion and great popularity in both the academic and industrial research communities. The field is motivated by the commonly held belief that applications in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics will benefit from a good understanding of the neural information processing properties that underlie human intelligence. Essential aspects of neural information processing are highly parallel execution of com­ putation, integration of memory and process, and robustness against fluctuations. It is believed that intelligent skills, such as perception, motion and cognition, can be easier realized in neuro-computers than in a conventional computing paradigm. This requires active research in neurobiology to extract com­ putational principles from experimental neurobiological find­ ings, in physics and mathematics to study the relation between architecture and function in neural networks, and in cognitive science to study higher brain functions, such as language and reasoning. Neural networks technology has already lead to practical methods that solve real problems in a wide area of industrial applications. The clusters on robotics and applications contain sessions on various sub-topics in these fields.

Reseña del editor

The field of neural networks is motivated by the commonly held belief that applications in artificial intelligence and robotics will benefit from a good understanding of the neural information processing properties that underlie human intelligence. ICANN '93 presents an overview of research and applications assessing the validity of this belief. Within the field of neural networks, several subfields of research can be distinguished. The first main activity is to extract computational principles from experimental neurobiological findings, such as the information processing capability of neurons, adaptation strategies and neural architectures. The field of cognitive connectionism models higher order brain functions, such as language skills, scene interpretation and reasoning, in terms of networks whose units should be interpreted as large populations of neurons, rather than as single neurons. Through theoretical analysis, the relationship between architecture and function of neural networks is studied, and insight is gained into their information processing capabilities. Neural networks technology leads to practical methods that solve real problems in a wide area of industrial applications. ICANN '93 covers a diversity of fields, from neurobiology and psychological models, to theory of information processing, dynamical systems and generalization, to applications in industry, finance and business. The papers on robotics, pattern recognition, and industrial applications provide an excellent overview of the state of the art in 1993.
