Encog is an advanced Machine Learning Framework for Java, C# and Silverlight. This book focuses on using the neural network capabilities of Encog with the C# programming language. This book begins with an introduction to the kinds of tasks neural networks are suited towards. The reader is shown how to use classification, regression and clustering to gain new insights into data. Neural network architectures such as feedforward, self organizing maps, NEAT, and recurrent neural networks are introduced. This book also covers advanced neural network training techniques such as back propagation, quick propagation, resilient propagation, Levenberg Marquardt, genetic training and simulated annealing. Real world problems such as financial prediction, classification and image processing are introduced.
