- NeuroSolutions
- ==============
-
- What is NeuroSolutions?
-
- NeuroSolutions is an object-oriented simulation environment for
- Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Evolving from neuro-biological
- insights, ANN technology gives a computer system the capacity to
- actually learn. This all sounds very impressive, and indeed it is, but
- you don't have to be a brain surgeon to play with, appreciate and even
- utilize NeuroSolutions.
-
- What Does the Demo Mode Do?
-
- The demonstration mode of NeuroSolutions presents a series of examples
- in neural computing. Each example applies a fixed ANN topology to
- solve a given problem. We have designed this demo to be more than an
- advertisement for NeuroSolutions, it was designed with enough
- flexibility to be used as an educational tool.
-
- All examples are live! We are not presenting a slide show or
- reenactment. Each example starts with random initial conditions and
- learns on-line. Since most of the examples deal with highly nonlinear
- problems, they may get stuck in local minima. In such cases, simply
- randomize the weights and try again.
-
- The concept behind the Demo Mode is simple. We have constructed the
- network topologies, and their construction cannot be altered (unless
- you have registered this version). However, you are allowed to change
- their input and desired signals, learning rates, processing elements
- per layer and anything else that the individual components allow.
- Furthermore, you are allowed full access to an entire palette of
- network probes. These probes may be used to animate any network data
- during learning. Using network probes will be covered in a brief
- tutorial (see ‹ Concepts - Probing), and illustrations of their use
- are given in the examples.
-
- The examples should be run in order, but their documentation was
- designed to be self contained. While it is strongly recommended that
- you take the time to read through the NeuroSolutions Concepts and
- Reference, they are not required to run this demo. If this is your
- first time running NeuroSolutions, we recommend that you take the
- following detour.
