The book connects classical statistical pattern-recognition methods with then-emerging neural-network techniques, drawing from artificial intelligence, cognitive science, engineering, neurobiology, and psychology. Contemporary descriptions emphasize subjects including Bayesian methods, decision trees, fuzzy logic, associative memory, self-organizing systems, perceptrons, Hopfield networks, and supervised learning. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe example shown here is particularly recognizable from a modern machine-learning perspective: an entropy-based decision-tree procedure that repeatedly selects features according to information gain. What now looks like familiar ML vocabulary appears here as part of a developing field rather than an established software toolkit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book was also cited favorably in early neural-network computing circles. A 1990s neural-net FAQ described it as an excellent bridge between conventional pattern-recognition methods and neural networks, while a university course later recommended it for its treatment of Bayesian statistics, fuzzy logic, and computational approaches to neural networks. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yoh-Han Pao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Addison-Wesley Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e First Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Appears to be first printing; the copyright page retains the complete \u003ccode\u003eABCDEFGHIJ\u003c\/code\u003e publisher letter line\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePagination:\u003c\/strong\u003e xviii + 309 pages \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0-201-12584-6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 978-0-201-12584-9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLCCN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88-007760 \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVintage hardcover without dust jacket.
