/*******************  PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD ***********************/

I finally finished up my thesis:

	Efficient Training of Feed-Forward Neural Networks


The thesis has the following content:

	Chapter 1.  Resume in danish (should anyone need that (-:)

	Chapter 2.  Notation and basic definitions.

	Chapter 3.  Training Methods: An Overview

	Chapter 4.  Calculation of Hessian Information

	Chapter 5.  Different Error Functions.

	Appendix A. A Scaled Conjugate Gradient Algorithm
		    for Fast Supervised Learning.

	Appendix B. Supervised Learning on Large Redundant
		    Training Sets.

	Appendix C. Exact Calculation of the Product of the Hessian
		    Matrix and a Vector in O(N) time.

	Appendix D. Adaptive Preconditioning of the Hessian Matrix.

	Appendix E. Improving Network Solutions.


The appendices concerns own work (original contributions), while
the chapters provide an overview.

The thesis is now available in a limited number of hard-copies.

People interested in a copy should send an email with there address to me.
