I have seen inquiries around here about neural net simulators. I have
written a program called Mactivation which simulates single and double
layer networks which can be viewed as matrix-vector multipliers. If this
doesn't make sense you can still probably use the program. It assumes
minimal knowledge of things like activation values, state vectors, and
connection matrices. Things like delta rule, normalization, etc. are
included. Activation curves are (almost) completely under your control.
A nine page manual is included in the form of a MacWrite 4.5 document.
Version 2.0c was distributed at the ICNN conference in San Diego in June.
Since then I have made many improvements but not completed it as a product.
Since I have to get back to my research, I am releasing version 2.01 as is.
The program runs on any Mactintosh, as far as I know. It is public domain,
so you may be able to find it around. If you would like a copy, send either
1) a blank 3.5" disc and a 39 cent stamp or
2) a check for five dollars made out to me
to the address below. I format single-sided to be safe. Foriegn orders
are fine. I will probably upload it one of these days, or someone else
can when they get one. Source code is not available now, but it might
be someday. Happy trails.
