I have placed an initial version of a program I have been working on for my senior thesis in the public ftp directory on csvax.caltech.edu. This program allows you to create a network, create the patterns, and then train the network to recognize the patterns up to some degree of error. Only three level, delta back-prop networks with logistic activation functions are supported (if you didn't understand that, don't worry neither did I a week ago.) Some caveats: The program ONLY runs on a Mac II or greater (though maybe an SE30 might work. Need 68020 and 68881 and color ), and currently doesn't handle memory or file errors very well. A memory error probably won't happen since it doesn't use that much memory, but if you try you could probably get it to die if you set the memory allocation too low under multifinder. File errors wont cause a crash but it wont tell you that it got one either. On the other hand it also comes with some source code to demonstrate back-prop and training. Have Fun, Pierce P.S. You will need Stuffit to decode the file. -- wetter@tybalt.caltech.edu or wetter@csvax.caltech.edu or pwetter@caltech.bitnet Rule to live by #32796: Act consistently in one persona until people have characterized your reactions, then change personas.

By the way, the program is named Thesis.sit.hqx. Pierce -- wetter@tybalt.caltech.edu or wetter@csvax.caltech.edu or pwetter@caltech.bitnet Rule to live by #32796: Act consistently in one persona until people have characterized your reactions, then change personas.
