A faster learning neural network classifier using selective backpropagation (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Craven, M. P. (1997). A faster learning neural network classifier using selective backpropagation.

The problem of saturation in neural network classification problems is discussed. The listprop algorithm is presented which reduces saturation and dramatically increases the rate of convergence.

The technique uses selective application of the bac... Read More about A faster learning neural network classifier using selective backpropagation.

Factors influencing wider acceptance of Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS) technologies for Total Joint Arthroplasty
Report
Craven, M. P., Davey, S. M., & Martin, J. L. Factors influencing wider acceptance of Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS) technologies for Total Joint Arthroplasty

Computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery (CAOS) promises to improve outcomes of joint arthroplasty through better alignment and orientation of implants, but take up has so far been modest. Following an overview of CAOS technologies covering image-guided...
