-
- The NNDT software is as a tool for neural network training. The user interface is
- developed with MS Visual Basic 3.0 professional edition. DLL routines (written in C) are
- used for most of the mathematics. The program can be run on a personal computer with
- MS Windows, version 3.1.
-
-
- Evaluation version
- ------------------
- This evaluation version of NNDT may be used free of charge for personal and
- educational use. The software certainly contains limitations and bugs, but is still a
- working version which has been used for almost a year. Comments, bug reports
- and suggestions for improvements can be sent to:

- Features and methods
- --------------------
- Two different training methods can be used, a batch method for "standard" off-line
- learning, and a real-time method which simulates on-line learning.
-
- The network algorithms implemented are of the so called supervised type. So far,
- only algorithms for multi-layer perceptron (MLP) networks of feed-forward and
- recurrent types are included. The MLP networks are trained with the
- Levenberg-Marquardt method.
-
- The training requires a set of input signals and corresponding output signals, stored
- in a file referred to as pattern file. This is the only file the user must provide.
- Optionally, parameters defining the pattern file columns, network size and network
- configuration may be stored in a file referred to as setup file.
-
- NNDT includes a routine for graphical presentation of the output signals during run.
- Network weights and node activations are easily examined and the weights can be
- modified by the user.
-
- A Windows help file is included, help is achieved at any time during NNDT execution
- by pressing F1.
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
- Unzip NNDT.ZIP to a separate disk or to a temporary directory e.g. to c:\tmp.
- The program is then installed by running SETUP.EXE.
- See FILES.TXT for more details.
