Software Tools for Neural Networks

Description:: Atree 3.0 ALN is a commercial package that does least-squares fitting to arbitrary data using linear pieces, and allows the user to input a priori knowledge prior to training. A new relational paradigm is used which eliminates the need for coding real values into Booleans as in Atree 2.7. This paradigm also allows inverse functions to be derived from the same net which determines the function itself.

ECANSE - Environment for Computer Aided Neural Software Engineering

Description:

ECANSE - Environment for Computer Aided Neural Software Engineering was specially designed to develop HYBRID SYSTEMS. It combines innovative approaches like Neural Nets, Fuzzy Logic, Nonlinear Analysis using Chaos Theory, Genetic Algorithms, ... to form a single, easily extendible tool with a common user interface. These technologies can now be combined to create intelligent hybrid systems. ECANSE, implemented in C++, also provides all the design, parameterization, simulation and optimization facilities that are required to create such systems, and can test applications as well.

As ECANSE has a fully-graphical user interface, one can master these new technologies intuitively without any knowledge of edp techniques. Users do not have to write code. Functions can be selected with a mouse or cursor. Visual Programming is used to create the application graphically. Objects (containing ready-to-run modules with specific algorithms), represented by icons, can be fetched from a toolbox with the mouse and linked together to create graphically a hybrid application.

NEW user-defined algorithms can easily be integrated into ECANSE, taking advantage of the Generic Mechanisms.

Due to its full graphical User Interface, ECANSE is also a very good teaching device. A variety of visualization facilities are also included. Being used at several European Universities, it brings students in touch with New Technologies like Neural Nets, Fuzzy Logic, Nonlinear Analysis using Chaos Theory et alt.

Neural networks, being universal statistical models, are the best possible technique for data mining. Our programmers have taken the best from cutting-edge neural network research and turned it into a friendly (easier than a spreadsheet !) and efficient tool a nonstatistician can put to full use. A statistician is no longer necessary. The SAXON 4.0 toolbox contains all the tools you need to

prepare your data (no limit on the amount of rows & columns),
teach networks, using supervised (backpropagation) or unsupervised (SOM) learning,
obtain (one or 100 000) predictions, visualise the data as well as predictions, obtain typical profiles for each class member or predicted value, compute each variable's relevance, etc.
