Theoretical Advances in Neural Computation and Learning

For any research field to have a lasting impact, there must be a firm theoretical foundation. Neural networks research is no exception. Some of the foundational concepts, established several decades ago, led to the early promise of developing machines exhibiting intelligence. The motivation for studying such machines comes from the fact that the brain is far more efficient in visual processing and speech recognition than existing computers. Undoubtedly, neu­ robiological systems employ very...
