Neural Networks and Learning Machines, Third Edition:
by Simon Haykin

---

This third edition of a classic book presents a comprehensive treatment of neural networks and learning machines. These two pillars that are closely related. The book has been revised extensively to provide an up-to-date treatment of a subject that is continually growing in importance. Distinctive features of the book include:

On-line learning algorithms rooted in stochastic gradient descent; small-scale and large-scale learning problems.

Kernel methods, including support vector machines, and the representer theorem.

Information-theoretic learning models, including copulas, independent components analysis (ICA), coherent ICA, and information bottleneck.

Stochastic dynamic programming, including approximate and neurodynamic procedures.

Sequential state-estimation algorithms, including Kalman and particle filters.

Recurrent neural networks trained using sequential-state estimation algorithms.

Insightful computer-oriented experiments.

Just as importantly, the book is written in a readable style that is Simon Haykin’s hallmark.
