MAC NETS

NETS, A Tool for the Development and Evaluation of Neural Networks from
NASA Johnson Space Center, provides a simulation of Neural Network
algorithms plus an environment for developing such algorithms. Problems
which involve pattern matching readily fit the class of problems which
NETS is designed to solve. The program allows the user to customize the
patterns of connections between layers of a network. NETS also provides
features for saving the weight values of a network during the learning
process, which allows for more precise control over the learning process.

NETS allows the user to generate C code to implement the network loaded
into the system. This permits the placement of networks as components, or
subroutines, in other systems. Once a network performs satisfactorily, the
Generate C Code option provides the means for creating a program separate
from NETS to run the network. Other features: files may be stored in
binary or ASCII format; multiple input propagation is permitted; bias
values may be included; capability to scale data without writing scaling
code; quick interactive testing of network from the main menu; and several
options that allow the user to manipulate learning efficiency.

NETS is written in ANSI standard C language to be machine independent. The
Macintosh version (MSC-22108) includes code for both a graphical user
interface version and a command line interface version. The machine
independent version (MSC-21588) only includes code for the command line
interface version of NETS 3.0. A minimum of 1MB of RAM is required for
execution. Sample input files and executables for both the command line
version and the Macintosh user interface version are provided on the
distribution medium. The Macintosh version is available on a set of three
3.5 inch 800K Macintosh format diskettes. Program $150; documentation
$20.
