- Interdisciplinary comprehensive text aimed at physicists, mathematicians, and computer scientists
- Contains multiple exercises on each topic
- Mathematically rigorous
- Highlights latest research and future work in neural networks
Theory of Neural Information Processing Systems provides an explicit, coherent, and up-to-date account of the modern theory of neural information processing systems. It has been carefully developed for graduate students from any quantitative dsicipline, including mathematics, computer science, physics, engineering or biology, and has been thoroughly class-tested by the authors over a period of some 8 years. Exercises are presented throughout the text and notes on historical background and further reading guide the student into the literature. All mathematical details are included and appendices provide further background material, including probability
theory, linear algebra and stochastic processes, making this textbook accessible to a wide audience.Readership: Graduates and researchers in physics, mathematics, computer science, and other quantitative disciplines.
