Artificial Neural Networks

This lecture presents standard algorithms and new developments of Artificial Neural Networks, their functioning, application domains, and connections to more conventional mathematical methods. Examples show the potential and limitations of the methods. Supervised as well as unsupervised learning methods are introduced.

About the INI

The Institut für Neuroinformatik (INI) is a central research unit of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. We aim to understand the fundamental principles through which organisms generate behavior and cognition while linked to their environments through sensory systems and while acting in those environments through effector systems. Inspired by our insights into such natural cognitive systems, we seek new solutions to problems of information processing in artificial cognitive systems. We draw from a variety of disciplines that include experimental approaches from psychology and neurophysiology as well as theoretical approaches from physics, mathematics, electrical engineering and applied computer science, in particular machine learning, artificial intelligence, and computer vision.
