General Information
- Name
- atree
- Source
- Bill Armstrong, University of Alberta, CA
- Price
- public domain
- Target usage
-
experimentation, research; advanced users
Model
- Network Architecture
-
Topology / model: adaptive logic trees,
network description by a file with a interpretive language
i(lf) or within C--programs
no reference to single units, no subnets
- Paradigms
-
adaptive logic trees
- Limitations
-
network type: only adaptive logic trees
number of nodes, number of connections: nothing mentioned.
Implementation
- Display
-
current status and various output programmable by
the user via C--functions
- User Interface
-
shell, DOS: menues + dialog--boxes
- Execution
-
batch (using interpreter for language lf with integrated editor)
or execution of
C--programs using functions of library "atree.o"
save and restore state possible
no special debugging functions found
- Data Format
-
ASCII, data type: input: boolean vector, output:
one boolean scalar per tree (several trees possible at the
same time), possible to save trees in a compressed or encoded format.
- Evaluation
-
- Performance
-
time: it is said to be reasonably faster on some problems (especially
those with binary data) than
backpropagation
use of resources: no math co-prozessor required.
