An archive containing compiled versions of the Connectionism 0.1.1 framework and the DSUtilities 1.0 framework has been added and is now the default file for downloading. It includes everything needed to use Connectionism 0.1.1.

The frameworks were compiled for Mac OS X 10.3 or 10.4 and i386 processors.

DSUtilities is a framework that supports Connectionism by providing two-dimensional arrays and mathematical vectors and matrixes. It is necessary for building and running Connectionism.

This is just a bug-fix release. The biggest differences are in the doc-comments: changes were made to make them work with Doxygen.

Documentation for the Connectionism 0.1 API is now available at http://connectionism.sourceforge.net/api/0.1/ .

Connectionism 0.1 has been released as the first release of this project. It consists of a basic set of classes for modeling connectionist networks from which I expect many more will be developed. These classes should form the foundation of the API, and hopefully will not be drastically changed as classes for more specific and various types of network are created.

After the class Network, which is the superclass of all classes in the API, the classes LayeredNetwork and Layer are the most important of this release. Layer is a superclass for creating networks that can function as parts of larger networks. LayeredNetwork provides the framework for creating networks out of layers.... read more
