This tutorial text provides the reader with an understanding of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and their application, beginning with the biological systems which inspired them, through the learning methods that have been developed and the data collection processes, to the many ways ANNs are being used today.
The material is presented with a minimum of math (although the mathematical details are included in the appendices for interested readers), and with a maximum of hands-on experience. All specialized terms are included in a glossary. The result is a highly readable text that will teach the engineer the guiding principles necessary to use and apply artificial neural networks. Contents: - Preface - Acknowledgments - Introduction - Learning Methods - Data Normalization - Data Collection, Preparation, Labeling, and Input Coding - Output Coding - Post-Processing - Supervised Training Methods - Unsupervised Training Methods - Recurrent Neural Networks - A Plethora of Applications - Dealing with Limited Amounts of Data - Appendix A: The Feedforward Neural Network - Appendix B: Feature Saliency - Appendix C: Matlab Code for Various Neural Networks - Appendix D: Glossary of Terms - References - Index.

Learning and Generalization provides a formal mathematical theory for addressing intuitive questions such as: How does a machine learn a new concept on the basis of examples? • How can a neural network, after sufficient training, correctly predict the outcome of a previously unseen input? • How much training is required to achieve a specified level of accuracy in the prediction? • How can one identify the dynamical behaviour of a nonlinear control system by observing its input-output behaviour over a finite interval of time?

In its successful first edition, A Theory of Learning and Generalization was the first book to treat the problem of machine learning in conjunction with the theory of empirical processes, the latter being a well-established branch of probability theory. The treatment of both topics side-by-side leads to new insights, as well as to new results in both topics. This second edition extends and improves upon this material, covering new areas including: • Support vector machines. • Fat-shattering dimensions and applications to neural network learning. • Learning with dependent samples generated by a beta-mixing process. • Connections between system identification and learning theory. • Probabilistic solution of 'intractable problems' in robust control and matrix theory using randomized algorithm. Reflecting advancements in the field, solutions to some of the open problems posed in the first edition are presented, while new open problems have been added. Learning and Generalization (second edition) is essential reading for control and system theorists, neural network researchers, theoretical computer scientists and probabilist.

EN 1994-1-1, also known as Eurocode 4, is one standard of the Eurocode suite and describes the principles and requirements for safety, serviceability and durability of composite steel and concrete structures. This Designers guide provides the user with guidance on the interpretation and use of EN 1994-1-1 through worked examples in relation to rules for buildings, structural fire design and for bridges. It explains the relationship with the other Eurocode parts to which it refers and to the relevant British codes.

Eurocode 9 covers the design of building and civil engineering works made from wrought and cast aluminium alloys. While aluminium is a lesser-used material, EN9 (EN 1999-1-1 and -1-4) is a complicated document and there is currently very little guidance to its use. The latest addition to the bestselling Designers Guide series addresses the considerable demand for Eurocode guidance covering aluminium.
