T-61.3030 Requirements for the examination, spring 2007

The course is based on the textbook S. Haykin, "Neural networks - a comprehensive foundation", 2nd edition, Prentice-Hall, 1998. In addition to above, visualization of Self-Organizing Map has been considered. The requirements for the examination cover the matters discussed on the lectures and exercises. The problems and their solutions are in English, and they are copied through Edita well before the first exam on Monday May 14th, 13-16, lecture hall C. You are allowed to keep with you a programmable calculator, but not the textbook, lecture slides or exercises with their solutions.
