Message-ID: <1991Jan13.053401.2317@watserv1.waterloo.edu> Organization: University of Waterloo Date: Sun, 13 Jan 91 05:34:01 GMT Lines: 28 I was wondering if someone who has experience doing research with neural nets could help me with this question. I am taking a theory of computation course in the hope that I can apply the methodologies to enhance my understanding of neural network and PDP styles of computation. Now coming from a softer background, philosophy and psychology to be specific, I find this work a little trying at times. I went into this with the intention of putting some quantitative teeth in my studies of computational models of the mind. So, gentlemen, the question I ask is, what can I hope to be able to do with neural networks if I complete the course? Thanks in advance for your time.
