I am looking for some information and/or demo programs on Neural Networks and how to simulate them on a computer. Any demo programs would be greatly appreciated even if they don't do much. I've heard that someone is selling a Neural Network simulator for the Mac but I haven't heard much about it. If anyone has details on what the program can do I would be interested to hear about it. Also, I could use a few good introductory references on Nerual networks, how they can be simulated and how to use them for pattern matching type operations. Thanks for the help...

I think you may be referring to a product I first saw advertised in the Computer Currents tabloid, 7/28 issue. The ad reads (in full): NEURAL NET Netwurkz models a neural net in a tutorial level program with source you can change. It demonstrates an associative memory finding nearest match to input word. Limit of 1000 neurons max. Netwurkz includes a comlete copy of PL/D, the compiler language it is written in. PL/D is easy to learn, offers control not in C, and is faster. NETWURKZ $79.95 Neural Net emulator with source, PL/D compiler, and printed manuals. Add $75 for source of PL/D. PC, XT, AT compatible with 256K. DAIR Computer systems /3440 Kenneth Drive /Palo Alto, CA 94303 415 494 7081 Visa/MC The grammar and wording are theirs. If you find out more about this or any others, I'm interested too (ever notice that the highest salaries go to the lowest-level analysts?)

She mentioned two products: MacBrain by Nestor Inc. of Providence R.I. (neural network simulation software), and MI-4, and RISC chip hardware board neural network simulator (called a Transputer), bu Mechanical Intelligence of San Diego CA. I have no info beyond that, but would be interested in hearing what folks who go to their booths at MacWorld have to say.

Any demo programs would be greatly > appreciated even if they don't do much. Dr. Dobbs Journal had an article (cover article) on neural networks a couple months back. There was source in there for a simulator, written in 'C'. I coded it in (ow - 800 some lines), and it works, except that some interpretation , and addition of code is necesarry to get what you succesfully trained it on to recognize anything. It merely required adapting a pre-existing sub-routine, and forced me to understand the program. It is public domain, so I guess I can send it to you, but note: I have added routines (albeit in the same style, etc.). The source can also be gotten on floppy from the magazine (~$20 ?). > > Also, I could use a few good introductory references on Nerual networks, > how they can be simulated and how to use them for pattern matching type > operations. ACASSP (sic), an IEEE Signal Processing magazine, had a fairly comprehensive introductio to the subject this year. I don't subscribe to it, so I don't remember if it was April, or later; I just copied the article. Mike Finegan Univ. of Cinti. ...hal!uccba!ucece1!finegan

Dr John Voevodsky is the developer of this product which is modeled from the biological processes of the human brain cell. You may not be in the market for such a product, but it might help you to know what other's are doing. for info on PLATO/ARISTOTLE contact: Dr John Voevodsky Neuraltech Inc 177 Goya Road Portola Valley, California 94025 #include <std/disclaimer> ______ / \ \ Michael J Sullivan / \____\ Alliant sullivan@alliant.uucp / / \ ComputerSystemsCorporation /____/_______\

I tried to mail you, but to no avail. Please mail me your C program, or post
it and let me know where. Thanks...
