[sdiy] OT : NN book

[jbv]

Hi all,

Could someone be kind enough to recommend
a good book on neural networks ?

I've already read several articles and I'm familiar
with the basic concepts, and would like to dig the
topic further, but without being stopped by complex
maths...

For instance, in the field of genetic algorithms, I
really apreciated the book by Melanie Mitchell
"An Introduction to G.A." MIT Press 1996
ISBN 0-262-13316-4

and would like to find something similar about NN.

Please reply off-list, unless you consider it can be
of general interest... After all, my final goal is to
include NN in a DIY vocoder, so...

Thanks in advance,
JB
