CS 587  Artificial Neural Networks

Assignment #: The Cascade-correlation Architecture

Due:  Wednesday, May 4, 2005

 

Repeat the weaves classification problem using the cascade-correlation network. 

 

The c-programs in this directory (the network, cascor6.c, which also creates a file named “result” containing the classification results, 
readresult.c which finds the errors in the result file, printnumb.c which puts the results in an appropriate form to calculate the error matrix, 
and printmatrix.c which calculates this matrix) have all been compiled on our UNIX server cs (which runs Linux).  Weaves.net contains 
the parameter settings for the network.  Experiment with the learning rates inputepsilon and outputepsilon and with the number of hidden units.  
The examplefile shows how the software is used in a complete run.
