Statistical mechanics, generalisation and regularisation of neural network models

There has been much recent interest in obtaining analytic results for rule learning using a neural network. In this thesis the performance of a simple neural network model learning a rule from noisy examples is calculated using methods of statistical mechanics. The free energy for the model is defin...
