@techreport{bishop1995bayesian, author = {Bishop, Christopher}, title = {Bayesian methods for neural networks}, year = {1995}, month = {January}, abstract = {Bayesian techniques have been developed over many years in a range of different fields, but have only recently been applied to the problem of learning in neural networks. As well as providing a consistent framework for statistical pattern recognition, the Bayesian approach offers a number of practical advantages including a potential solution to the problem of over-fitting. This chapter aims to provide an introductory overview of the application of Bayesian methods to neural networks. It assumes the reader is familiar with standard feed-forward network models and how to train them using conventional techniques.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/bayesian-methods-for-neural-networks/}, edition = {Technical Report NCRG/95/009, Neural Computing Research Group, Aston University}, number = {NCRG/95/009}, note = {USENIX ICAC}, }
