Learning outcomes

Learning outcomes: The student can list the mentioned learning rules. The student can describe them and is capable to apply them to train neural networks. The student is capable to list to analyse the lectured neural networks (MLP,SVM,SOM and recurrent networks). The student is capable to analyse the own problem and to select the most suitable, lectured neural network. The student has a certain capability to create new solutions based on the lectured material.
