a non-sharing smart pointer class that can be used with STL containers such as std::map, vector, list, set, and deque. The smart pointer has an assignment operator and greater than operator that call the target object s operator.
annie is an ANN, ie, Artificial Neural Network library developed in C++. It can be used to implement various kinds of neural networks like Multi-Layer Perceptron, Radial basis function networks, Hopfield networks etc.
The Hopfield model is a distributed model of an associative memory. Neurons are pixels and can take the values of -1 (off) or +1 (on). The network has stored a certain number of pixel patterns. During a retrieval phase, the network is started with some initial configuration and the network dynamics evolves towards the stored pattern which is closest to the initial configuration.
Single-layer neural networks can be trained using various learning algorithms. The best-known algorithms are the Adaline, Perceptron and Backpropagation algorithms for supervised learning. The first two are specific to single-layer neural networks while the third can be generalized to multi-layer perceptrons.
