"A Brief Introduction to Neural Networks" published in Epsilon Version

New Layout, new “speaking headlines” all over the manuscript, lots of enhancements, new content (chapter on the biology of neural networks) and, of course, bilingual in German and English.

As usual, the manuscript can be downloaded at the subpage about Neural Networks. In the epsilon version, the technical base of the manuscript was completely renewed. In the text, there are lots of updates, too.

• New Chapter: Biological Neural Networks
• New layout and design, which makes use of common typography rules. Relayouted type area and spaces.
• New page headers and footers, containing section and chapter titles.
• New, modern fonts. Not that you'll see lots of difference, but they can be read easier.
• “Speaking headlines” througout the entire manuscript boil down the material of the following section to one sharp sentence.
• Clickable links and pdf-contained table of contents throughout the entire manuscript.
• Whole lots of little enhancements and corrections that I was advised to by readers. Thanks a lot, guys! In this context, the list of helpful readers in the preface was extended thoroughly
• Removed the two Table of contents and replaced them by one single TOC of intermediate lenght.
• Several rearrangements, in particular parts of the perceptron chapter (5) were moved towards the learning chapter (4). The Regional and Online Learnable Fields Chapter was moved into the Excursus about Clustering. The Part “Further Views on Learning” was removed, its chapters were rearranged.
• New CC-license, see above
• Cool new cover

A very, very big “thank you” goes to Beate Kuhl again for the translation!!!
