> COURSE CONTENTS
>
> Neural networks (NN) have become a very important tool in  
> classification and regression tasks. The applications are nowadays  
> abundant, e.g. in the engineering, economy and biology areas. The  
> Summer School on NN is dedicated to explain relevant NN paradigms,  
> namely multilayer perceptrons (MLP), radial basis function networks  
> (RBF) and support vector machines (SVM) used for classification and  
> regression tasks, illustrated with applications to real data.  
> Specific topics are also presented, namely Recurrent Neural  
> Networks, Multi-Valued and UB Neurons , Functional Networks , MLP's  
> with Entropic Criteria and Data Mining using NN.
>
> Classes include practical sessions with appropriate software tools.  
> The trainee has, therefore, the opportunity to apply the taught  
> concepts and become conversant with a broad range of NN topics and  
> applications. A special workshop session will provide a discussion  
> forum where the participants can obtain peer guidance for their  
> projects.
