McClelland and Rumelhart's Parallel Distributed Processing was
the first book to present a definitive account of the newly revived
connectionist/neural net paradigm for artificial intelligence and
cognitive science. While Neural Computing Architectures addresses
the same issues, there is little overlap in the research it
reports. These 18 contributions provide a timely and informative
overview and synopsis of both pioneering and recent European
connectionist research. Several chapters focus on cognitive
modeling; however, most of the work covered revolves around
abstract neural network theory or engineering applications,
bringing important complementary perspectives to currently
published work in PDP.In four parts, chapters take up neural
computing from the classical perspective, including both
foundational and current work; the mathematical perspective (of
logic, automata theory, and probability theory), presenting less
well-known work in which the neuron is modeled as a logic truth
function that can be implemented in a direct way as a silicon read
only memory. They present new material both in the form of
analytical tools and models and as suggestions for implementation
in optical form, and summarize the PDP perspective in a single
extended chapter covering PDP theory, application, and speculation
in US research. Each part is introduced by the editor.
