Welcome! Finally ... a place of silence.

There are neither popups nor dialers. No money rip-off with hidden fees, no letterbox companies, no flashing ads. No enforcement to login or sign up. No enforcement to comment something. You are not even forced to contact other users. I'm just writing this pages for fun, recreation and interest purposes - enabling you to read them for the same reasons. Pretty Web 1.0, huh? ;-)

Finally, you've found the place on the web to be just alone. Enjoy the time, poke around. Have some silent minutes, far away from the rest of the internet. The left column below this paragraph presents articles that directly concern this web site, presenting for example new content. The right column contains short versions of blog articles. You can read all of those articles in the blog area of the web site, which is not really a blog, but a collection of all small articles that cover different topics this web site deals with.

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

New Layout, lots of enhancements, new content 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!!!

USA Trip 2009

From August 14th to September 15th, we (a travel team of 5 persons) travel through the West of the US in a motorhome.

As you can see, our route passes many national parks – so there is hope that we present some nice photos. At the same time, the trip is of educational value for me concerning my vicious internet habits: It won't be possible do check for new eMails every few hours :-). Regular updated travel reports and informations are located at Leisure > USA Trip 2009, whereas the travel reports will also be presented in the Blog. Probably, every report will contain a small image gallery – this leads me to maintaining a comprehensive gallery at Pictures > USA Trip 2009 of all those pictures presented. Until then, keep your fingers crossed for us :-)
