This week's reading

Hi all,

Just a reminder to everyone that we're supposed to be posting our reading for the week on the blog so everyone else can have a look at it and so we have something to discuss at our meeting tomorrow. If someone else could post something before late tonight so that I have a chance to look at it before tomorrow that would be great.

Neural Networks Introduction

I had a flick through the Biophysics textbook by Cotterill, which had a section on neural networks. Since we probably don't all have access to that particular book, I've done a summary of it and uploaded my summary here. It's pretty basic, but I thought it would be good background reading to get us started. Let me know if you have any problems with the file.

I tried to look for some of Steinbuch's original papers. Unfortunately, the UQ library doesn't seem to have access to a lot of them, and the ones that I did manage to view were all in German.

If I get the time, I'll try to post a relevant paper.

If there is anything confusing or that doesn't make sense in the summary, feel free to comment.
