690 Design of self-organizing neural networks
hardware and software issues

Course Description

This course discusses advanced concepts of self-organizing neural networks - that is networks of elemental processors interconnected like their biological models. Neural-net implementations of pattern recognition algorithms provide important, practical advantages by allowing fast realization of parallel, iterative procedures. Operations of neural networks will be developed and used for different neural functions. An example self-organizing neural system simulating biological systems will be examined. The emphais in this course is on development of the concept of self-organizing neural system with locally interconnected processing components.  Students will simulate neural networks for patter recognition and classification using PC software tools.
