Abstract
This article attempts to answer some of the concerns
raised by Rickert (1994) in his review of the book Neural Networks
for Pattern Recognition (Nigrin, 1993). Topics that are discussed
include: fast learning and stability, reinforcement learning, and
context sensitivity.
Keywords
context sensitivity, learning rates, neural networks,
pattern recognition
