NNDT
Neural Network Development Tool
Evaluation version 0.96
Bj÷rn Saxen
1994
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:
bjsaxen@finabo.abo.fi

Remember, this program comes free but with no guarantee!
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.
