Neural Nets simulation

Quick and dirty neural nets simulation. I'm pretty sure i didn't get the physics of the neural networks right, and i will work on this more later, but it's pretty cool to watch still :) Here is a sample of the program... this is roughly what i imagine our brain cells work like :) organized chaos

Whats the point of a neural network. Is it faster or something. I don't see what the advantage is to use one in any situation.

[badmephisto]

neural networks have a lot of nice properties. They are general function approximators and yes they are pretty efficient most of the time. Most recently there has been some impressive progress in deep belief nets and convolutional RBM's that looks nice

[scorpius420]

also what programming language? Many thanks for any help! :)

[badmephisto]

Its made in Python.

It is NOT good, and was made looong time ago. I have since developed a MUCH more biologically correct model. Maybe I will post it sometime soon... the new one Does have Hebbian Learning, and also stuff like Inhibition, Refractory periods, and it Can compute output for set of inputs and do recognitions.

That's not a simple one-time feedforward network. That's a "massively parallel" network, where the neurons fire at different times dependent upon input and/or time intervals.

[badmephisto]

Well I never heard it in those terms. If you want to get technical it is simply a recurrent spiking neural network...

That explains why I'm sexually attracted to fruit flies: too many glia-cells.

reminds me of death.

thanks!

Efficiency... do you see?

[turoniable]

@badmephisto If I remember correctly the study of neural networks had the output of the oop programming.

[7Stark]

would look good as a screensaver

@badmephisto

That sounds really awesome. You need to post it haha. I would also be interested in the source code.

[Longlivethe4th]

the layout of the network kind of reminds me of the galaxies in the first Elite game...

[rynjahninjah]

type won before youtube!!! its pretty cool

[BlazeCyndaquil]

Quite interesting. Did you make this program. If not, do you know where I could obtain it? I am assuming you did program it though. If that is the case, would you mind posting a link for it or something?

[reexre]

Please could you tell me if this is correct?

somthing to improve?
