Hi list,
I am currently learning neural networks as a hobby. I would like to implement them in C and on Linux. I have googled around and there seems to be immense data on them yet its all theoretical. I am currently learning the BPN algorithm whose logic I am able to understand but the math is a bit tough. I would like to know if there is/are some book / website / white papers which talk about Neural Networks from implementation / performance point of view. Oh yes, it would be great help if the math is explained in simpler terms :)
I've gotten links / pdfs if anybody is interested I can post them here ( not PDFs ofcourse ).
Thanks.

Well, a long time before I was working on neural networks. A good amount
of explanation is given in the MATLAB manual(i mean the real basics are explained..).You can get the manual free(as in beer) over the web. In linux you have Scilab which comes with an ANN tolbox. Scilab is not GPLed...comes with its own scilab license. (check octave also) For the mathematics part of it..u can start with this: http://www.mth.kcl.ac.uk/courses/guide.pdf.. I think it would be wiser to use the libraries already available(unless u want to reinvent the wheel!!)(checkout fann, libeneural)

P.S: This book was told by my prof. as a good one to start with: "Neural Networks Algorithms, Applications, and Programming Techniques" by James A. Freeman and David M. Skapura (Addison-Wesley, 1991).
I was going to post the links as I got some requests offline. Please go through these. They are quite helpful.
