Depends a little bit on what you are aiming at: do you mean taking a taught course, doing a PhD or getting hired as a lecturer? Or do you mean the private...
Yes, it is possible. In fact we've done XOR runs before where the starting topology is completely disconnected (i.e., 0 connections) and it is able to find a...

Hi Chris, it's been a while! I'm surprised you've only found journals or conferences accepting up to 4 pages. What journals and conferences were you looking...
I'm starting to learn C++. I would like to do some simple 2-D graphics, and I don't know what's available. I realize that C++ has no built-in graphics so that...

This definitely sounds like a simple difference in terminology to me. Mitchell equates the first layer of neurons with the input layer, while Philip means...
