• What is a neuron?
• What are the applications?
• Previous projects

3
Introduction

• To create a Neural Network
• Components of a Neuron
• Input
• Output
• Sigmoid
• Components of a Network
• Neurons
• Connections
• Cases

4
Applications and Scope

• Predict the stock market
• Train on previous days
• Predict next day's prices
• Uses Backpropogation network

• Classify music
• Takes in notes and instruments
• Classifies to time period of music
• Uses Competitive network

5
Development

• Using Java 1.5
• File I/O
• Network efficiency
• Training on data sets

6
Results and Conclusions

• Backpropogation network
• Algorithm needs tweaking
• Finds patterns very quickly
• Competitive network
• Converges too quickly
• Larger purpose
• A blackbox java implementation of neural networks
• Flexible, can be adapted
