[comp.ai.neural-nets] Need help on Hopfield Nets.

      I am doing a project which uses Hopfield network to do pattern
classification.
I wrote a program for the binary case of Hopfield nets. It does not work
very well
especially the capacity is poor. I followed Lippman's paper and did the
exactly same
experiment, i.e., the recognition of a noisy '3', but I could not get
the same result.
I also followed Psaltis et.al. example described in "Optical
implementation of Hopfield
Network" in "Applied Optics" 1985. Still I could not get the same result
and I felt that
their illustration does not make sense.
      I have looked at many of the available NN packages through FTP but
they are
very big in size and is not suitable for me. Is there anyone ever
developed a Hopfield
Network which works OK?(sure) I am wondering if anyone can give me some
advices or even
generously give me the program. I will describe what I have done in more
detail to
you. Thanks a lot.
