- Training and using recurrent network, feedback parameters, hopfield network, Grossbergs additive model
- Introduction to pulsed neural network and related electronics
Teaching method : The curriculum is based on an interactive book – overview lessons will allow (groups of) the student to study the interactive sessions and perform the related simulation exercises.
Required prequisites : Documented knowledge of math corresponding to DSM3/DSM4
Analogue or digital design equivalent to 4th semester level.
Recommended prerequisites : Knowledge of statistics is a benefit
Relations : The principles of neural networks are used in many other fields like Control-theory, Image-technique, Noise reduction, Robot-control, Sonar-analysis, Radar tracking systems, Planning, Microwave simulation.
Type of examination : Look under remarks
External examiner : Internal
Marking : Passed/Not passed
Remarks : Examination:
To pass the course the students must be present at min. 80% of the lessons and each student must hand in reports on 2 mandatory practical sessions, which must be accepted.
