i have been looking at the architecture of the ann api and it is likely t= hat it will be redone a little - there are some redundant looking association= s and other which look inefficient and inflexible. will let you know when this is done. .b -----Original Message----- From: jav...@li...

Subject: Re: [Java AI Library Development] FW: Java AI library progress Hi guys I tried to catch up reading the last emails about Anton and the cbr, and = the framework of the api. I still can't spend lot of time thinking about that= as my last exam is next monday, but I noticed that you were talking about a = gui for the project. Does it make sense to develop a gui for that ? i thought= it was about developping an api to run ai functionalities but not a proper software with it's own gui. Anyway tell me about that, maybe I didn't get everything. I think it could be helpful to chat with one of you next week= to get started and see things more clearly, because right now system programming for uni is badly clouding my vision of the AI project :) Is t= he architecture for the NN done or about ? have a good week end cool geeks !
