Abstract
Nigrin's (1993) book describes the development of his
SONNET model from foundations laid down by Grossberg and
colleagues. The model is rigorous and imaginative, and its design
and implementation are described with great clarity. The book
suffers a little, in its later stages, from a lack of simulations,
coupled with a near surfeit of ideas. Nonetheless, this book is an
important addition to the neural-modelling literature, one which
comes heartily recommended.
Keywords
geometric transformation invariance, neural network
models, pattern recognition.
