Project News for openModeller

  • openModeller 1.2 released

    This release contains a new algorithm Random Forests and new versions of ENFA, Maxent and Environmental Distance. There were also changes in the Web Service, the command line interface and the framework itself.

  • openModeller 1.1 released

    This release includes two new algorithms - ENFA (Ecological Niche Factor Analysis) and Niche Mosaic - and a new version of the Maximum Entropy algorithm based on the Maxent paper (Phillips et al., 2006). It also contains a few adjustments in other existing algorithms (GARP, AquaMaps, ANN, CSM and Mahalanobis distance).

  • openModeller 1.0.0 released

    This release includes adjustments in many parts of the framework, including ROC curve, algorithms (ANN and SVM), and command line tools (om_model and om_niche). There were also improvements in the modelling protocol and model statistics (possibility to use lowest presence threshold).

  • openModeller 0.7.0 released

    This release contains a new algorithm using Artificial Neural Networks, it also includes support to generate distribution maps in ARC/Info ASCII grid format, as well as important changes in the ROC Curve class. It also includes a few bugfixes and other improvements.

  • openModeller: 0.6.0 released

    openModeller is a cross-platform C++ library for potential distribution modeling.


    This release contains mainly new features, including:

    - Drivers to directly read occurrences from GBIF or TAPIR/DarwinCore providers.
    - A new command-line tool (om_points) that can be used to retrieve occurrence data using any of the available drivers.
    - A new command-line tool (om_algorithm) to get information about the available algorithms.
    - A new Maximum Entropy algorithm with two training methods: GIS (Generalized Iterative Scaling) and L-BFGS (Limited-Memory Variable Metric).

    The GARP Best Subsets algorithm was also changed to accept the "max threads" parameter, which can be used to speed up the modelling process in multi-processor machines.
