Description: This book shows that a multilayer neural network can be considered as a multistage system, and that the learning of this class of neural networks can be treated as a special sort of the optimal control problem.
Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"This book aims to provide a suitable framework allowing the embedding of the multilayer neural networks viewed as multistage systems, in an extension of Petri net theory called the theory of generalized nets. ... The developments presented in the book are both interesting and important, and open new perspectives for research in the area ... . book is of real value to researchers in the field of neural networks. It is also useful for students studying computer science and engineering." (L. State, Computing Reviews, April, 2014)
