User Interface

MIGRAINES The MIGRAINES interface is a terminal based interface that allows you to open Unix pipes to data in the neural network. This replaces the NeWS1.1 graphical interface in version 4.0 of the Aspirin/MIGRAINES software. The new interface is not a simple to use as the version 4.0 interface but is much more portable and flexible. The MIGRAINES interface allows users to output neural network weight and node vectors to disk or to other Unix processes. Users can display the data using either public or commercial graphics/analysis tools. Example filters are included that convert data exported through MIGRAINES to formats readable by: Gnuplot 3, Matlab, Mathematica, Xgobi. Most of the examples (see above) use the MIGRAINES interface to dump data to disk and display it using a public software package called Gnuplot3.

Execution

The file describing a network is processed by the Aspirin parser and files containing C functions to implement that network are generated. This code can then be linked with an application which uses these routines to control the network. Optionally, a complete simulation may be automatically generated which is integrated with the MIGRAINES interface

Data Format

Currently supported file formats are: Ascii Type1, Type2, Type3 Type4 Type5 (simple floating point file formats) ProMatlab
