Neural Networks for Chemists

Booknews

Text gives chemists insight into the much discussed--and often misunderstood--concept of neural networks. Beginning with the fundamental principles, the authors pinpoint the five most widely used neural networks and learning strategies, and illustrate them with lucid examples. Later chapters discuss the numerous applications of these concepts. The self-study format enables readers to apply neural networking concepts to their chemistry problems, either with commercially available software or self-made programs. Annotation c.
