The new NEURAL21.ZIP contains:
1. A better SLUG3 windows Backprop app and
2. The user manual for the Neural Networks Toolkit,
and is now available from at least
garbo.uwasa.fi in windows/artificial
oak.oakland.edu in pub/msdos/neurlnet
What is the Toolkit ?
=====================
The Southern Scientific Neural Networks Toolkit is for Pascal
programmers. It is intended to form the basis for NN designs
ranging from the conventional to the bizarre. To do this, the
Toolkit was designed using OOP techniques, keeping absolute
flexibility in mind, containing the basic objects and methods
which are likely to occur in any architecture, but still
providing the freedom to try out new insights and ideas with a
minimum of programming. It is assumed that the user of this
product understands OOP techniques as implemented in Borland
Pascal, is familiar with basic linear algebra, can produce
derivatives of simple functions and has read basic literature on
Backpropagation Neural Networks. The Toolkit is independent of
Windows and DOS, that is, you can use it in both environments.
What it contains
The Toolkit comes in 4 main parts, implemented as Turbo Pascal
units, and includes some utilities :
The basic unit, NNunit, containing the 'grandfather' Neuron and
Neuralnet objects, from which the user produces descendants
suitable for a specific design. Source code is available
separately.
The dynamic matrices and vectors unit, Dyna2, which contains
objects to deal with the connections between neurons, and
provides, as an added bonus, tools for numerical analysis
applications which require dynamic matrix data structures.
Source code is available separately.
The Backpropagation unit, BPNet2, implements a standard
backpropagation network, and provides an example of the use of
the objects in the first two units. Source is provided.
The Brainmaker unit, Brain, provides access to the structure and
weights of a network trained with Brainmaker, a popular product
from California Scientific (no relation). Source is provided.
A good windows Backprop application, SLUG3.EXE, with source,
to illustrate the use of the Toolkit. Use the helpfile for
information on how to use SLUG3. You should also look at
DOSDEMO2.PAS for a quick look at how easy it is to make a
backprop net work with the Toolkit.
Several other small utilities.
What it costs:
US$89. Source code is US$199.
Specials are offered from time to time
Ordering info in the SLUG3 help file.
