Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge was host to a major international
programme entitled "Neural Networks and Machine Learning".  Many
of the world's leading researchers in the field participated for
periods ranging from a few weeks up to six months, and numerous
younger scientists also benefited from a variety of conferences and
workshops held throughout the programme. The Newton Institute's
purpose-designed building provided a superb research environment, as
well as an excellent venue for workshops.

The first workshop of the six month programme was a two-week NATO
Advanced Study Institute on "Generalization in Neural Networks
and Machine Learning". This was heavily over-subscribed and attendance
was limited to around 90 by the capacity of the Institute as well as
by the desire to maintain an informal, interactive atmosphere.  The
topic of generalization was chosen as a focal point for the workshop
and provided a common theme running through many of the presentations.
This book resulted directly from the NATO ASI, and many of the
chapters have a significant tutorial component, reflecting the
instructional aims of the workshop.
