I would like to experiment with ART-1 and ART-2, but am having some difficulty in figuring out how to implement them (particularly the latter). I have read all the basic references (e.g., for ART-2, the Applied Optics article and the material in ICNN-87), and I think that I understand what's going on -- but going from the equations given in the papers to an implementation has been a problem. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate them. I am looking for any and all of: - additional references that focus on the operationalization of the theory - an ART simulator, preferably written in a source language with which I'm familiar (C,LISP,Prolog,Pasacal) so that I can analyze the implementation; I have access to SUNs, VAXen, and Symbolics, TI, and Xerox LISPMs - notes, comments, and observations from someone who has successfully (or even unsuccessfully) implemented ART - any other information that you may consider useful or relevant I would also like to hear from anyone who is in the same situation in which I find myself; if there is sufficient interest, and sufficient response, I will either distribute or post whatever information I receive. If you have information (or code) that you don't want to spread too widely (say, you have a simulator that you wouldn't mind sharing with one person who promises not to bug you about bugs, but do not want to distribute), I will gladly omit it from any subsequent broadcasts -- or refer inquiries directly to you -- if you so request. Thanks in advance.
