Neural network in LabVIEW - I'd like to share the code

[Yodo]

Hi Everyone,

I have developed a fully configurable multi-layer perceptron (artificial neural network), feed-forward, back propagated. I used LabVIEW 5.1 and wrote the whole thing from scratch. The program (aNETka ver. 1.0) incorporates: biases, autoscaling, automatic learn rate, momentum, etc.

You can download the zipped file from: http://www.geocities.com/zureks//aNETka.html

UPDATE: The website will soon go off-line because Yahoo shuts down the geocities. You can email me directly then: zureks@gmail.com

There is a operating manual, too

Please post some comments if you use it...

Enjoy

Hi Yodo

Basically it looks quiet good. The only thing I really get annoyed of is the huge diagram. Did you use a beamer with resolution 16000 x 12000? It's quiet hard to see how it works.

oops, guess there was a lot of interest in your program, you have exceeded you transfer allocation! And on a "non-Naughty" site!

The resolution I used was 1024x768. I know the diagram is huge, but I found that using subVI's slows down the algorithm a lot (in fact, the first version was one screen diagram with neat subVI icons). I took me a lot of time to rebuild it into non-subVI version, and since I did I just kept this mode. The most important bit is the main While loop - i tried to put the smaller pieces into Sequence or Case structures to be able to see what's going on. If you really want to see how it works just make a subVI's from the structures I provided, and then you can scale the whole diagram down.

I also submitted this example code to NI, but I can't see it (search engine doesnt find it). Just be patient with the free website I provided. Should work every 1h or so

Thanks for sharing your work. Again something I tried to develop some years ago, but I never passed the original Perceptron level (single layer network). That thing was already smart enough to recognize numbers. 🙂
I'll try to run your vi on a few data (that could be the E-List...) as soon as possible.



That's worth 5 stars !..

Thanks for the words of appreciation. It was really hard thing to do. I got lost with the first version and I had to start completely from scratch again, because there was no way I could debug it.

I am sorry for not very "clean" coding, but for me it was enough and too much to get it working...

Regards

Thanks!

I will look at the code later.

Dear all,

I have visited the pointed URL, however no download option was available. So, I sent a message to the indicated e-mail, but I have not receive an answer yet (it is about a week now). Do you know if there is an alternative URL or  e-mail adrress, or any other communication way to ask for a copy of the toolkit. Do you know any other LabVIEW implemented neural network training tools that someone could try or even buy.

Thanks!!!

NI has a community section now which makes it easier to post documents and files. You could place it there.
