Artificial Adaptive Systems Using Auto Contractive Maps: Theory, Applications and Extensions

This book offers an introduction to artificial adaptive systems and a general model of the relationships between the data and algorithms used to analyze them. It subsequently describes artificial neural networks as a subclass of artificial adaptive systems, and reports on the backpropagation algorithm, while also identifying an important connection between supervised and unsupervised artificial neural networks.

The book’s primary focus is on the auto contractive map, an unsupervised artific...
