Dec 10, 2009 at 19:42 comment added Dan Piponi I'm pretty sure the OP wants to know neither about topology nor graph theory. When someone says "The key element of ANN is topology" they don't mean (the theory of) topology, or graph theory. They mean that an important component of designing neural networks is choosing the connectivity of the neurons. The best place to learn about this is probably the neural network literature. Having said that, there's some nice interplay between neural networks and topology in the area of detecting topological invariants of images. (Eg. it's easier to learn to detect Euler number than connectivity.)

Dec 10, 2009 at 16:13 comment added José Figueroa-O'Farrill I'm not suggesting one deletes the answers, but the OP has a right to know that these are not answers to the question he wanted to ask (but didn't). I think that the recent edits make it clear, though.

Dec 10, 2009 at 16:01 comment added Harry Gindi Then he should repost a new topic on graph theory. His original question was about topology, and we shouldn't delete all of the answers.
Dec 10, 2009 at 15:48 comment added José Figueroa-O'Farrill The answers are addressing the wrong question, though. I think that what the OP wants to know about is Graph Theory.

Dec 10, 2009 at 15:29 comment added Anton Geraschenko I'm converting this post to wiki, since the references really should be getting the reputation rather than the people who post them. See the discussion on meta.MO and in the FAQ.
Dec 10, 2009 at 15:19 comment added Qiaochu Yuan My impression is that the word "topology" means something different in network theory than it does in mathematics. It seems to refer to the large-scale properties of a graph.

Dec 10, 2009 at 12:03 comment added Gjergji Zaimi What does this question have to do with algebraic topology? Your question is very vague.
