Exploring Neural Networks with C#

Preface

Neural networks are interesting and useful tools for researchers working on a wide range of problems from various disciplines and the networks continue to attract new users. Figure P.1 shows increasing profits from sales of neural network software.

Figure P.1

Profits ($ million) from sales of software for creating and using neural networks in US market and estimated data for 2013.

As the figure indicates, the first commercially available software tools using neural networks emerged in the early 1990s. The dynamic growth of this portion of the market took place in or around 2000, and throughout the past decade interest in neural ...
