From the Publisher:

The recent re-emergence of network-based approaches to artificial intelligence has been accomplished by a virtual explosion of research. This research spans a range of disciplines - cognitive science, computer science, biology, neuroscience, electrical engineering, psychology, econometrics, philosophy, etc. - which is, perhaps, wider than any other contemporary endeavor. Of all the contributing disciplines the relatively universal language of mathematics provides some of the most powerful tools for answering fundamental questions about the capabilities and limitations of these 'artificial neural networks'. In this collection, Halbert White and his colleagues present a rigorous mathematical analysis of the approximation and learning capabilities of the leading class of single hidden layer feedforward networks. Drawing together work previously scattered in space and time, the book gives a unified …
