"Artificial Neural Networks: Architectures and Applications" ed. by Kenji Suzuki

The purpose of this book is to provide recent advances of architectures, methodologies, and applications of artificial neural networks. This book will be a fundamental source of recent advances and applications of artificial neural networks. The target audience of this book includes college and graduate students, and engineers in companies.

Artificial neural networks may probably be the single most successful technology in the last two decades which has been widely used in a large variety of applications.
The book consists of two parts: the architecture part covers architectures, design, optimization, and analysis of artificial neural networks; the applications part covers applications of artificial neural networks in a wide range of areas including biomedical, industrial, physics, and financial applications.
