Description

The Neuroph project is an open-source (currently LGPL, but voted to change to ASL to accomodate integration with Mahout) ANN library, complete with this feature-set:

• Supported neural network architectures
  • Adaline
  • Perceptron
  • Multi Layer Perceptron with Backpropagation
  • Hopfield network
  • Bidirectional Associative Memory
  • Kohonen network
  • Hebbian network
  • Maxnet
  • Competitive network
  • Instar
  • Outstar
  • RBF network
  • Neuro Fuzzy Reasoner

*Other features

• • Small number of the essential base classes (only 10) which can be easily reused
  • Support for supervised and unsupervised learning rules
  • An easy-to-follow structure and logic.
  • GUI tool for neural network development easyNeurons
  • Image recognition support

They are interested in integration, so we should look into what we can do to augment Mahout's capabilities with this.
