Project Summary

Our assignment was to find a perceptron application on-line and to train and test it. The difficulty of finding an up-to-date Linux application that enabled the user to use a data set proved to be an exhausting task. I found a multitude of applications that explained and demonstrated how a perceptron worked. However, I could not find an application that allowed me to enter my own data, train, and test the Perceptron. Furthermore, when I finally found an application would allow for the end-user to utilize their own data set, the application would not compile correctly on the new GNU compilers. Unfortunately, old compilers would break the newer Linux OS. In the end, my Linux options were limited to null. Therefore, I decided to create a new open source project; Open Perceptron to solve the problem and complete the assignment. (website to follow) (more…)
