insilicobrainA fast and free neuronal network implementation |
This is insilicobrain, a neuronal network software. It can be used for classification and regression tasks. It is free software under the GNU General Public License.
It is designed to be employed in an automated classification or regression setting, by implementing arrival of new data triggered execution and by efficient coding to minimize calculation overhead in this evaluation mode.
It makes use of the GNU scientific library as a binding to BLAS routines for speed-optimized matrix-vector multiplication calculations - yet dependence on the GSL is going to be removed in the upcoming 0.3 release.

The current stable version of insilicobrain is always available from the sourceforge project page's download section.
You need to have the GNU scientific library installed on your system, so that it can be found during the configuration step. You may specify a BLAS library of your choice during the configuration. The dependence on the GSL is going to be dropped in favor of a user supplied BLAS in the upcoming release.
