Software Package for Multilayer Perceptron Simulation as Associative Memory

1 Abstract An unique integrated software package for simulation of multilayer perceptron behaviour as associative memory has been built [3]. A lot of improvements to classical backpropagation algorithm have been included. Many modern techniques and algorithms for accelerating the convergence of the network have been utilized ([4], [5] and [7]). One of the advantages of the package deals with the possibility of invariant pattern recognition. The application of advanced modifications enabled to treat the patterns of size (32×32), which in turn resulted in very high efficiency and performance of the system. Moreover there is an option in the package to use the Microway Number Smasher 860 (i860–based accelator board for PC's).
