Neural Networks

The purpose of this assignment is to give you a hands-on look at how to set-up and train a neural network. You will not implement the underlying network code.

Part I

Work on this part by yourself, but feel free to cooperate with others so as to get through this expeditiously.
Do not turn in this part. This part is designed to get you some experience with the GUI.
Install the Joone software for neural networks.
Set-up and train a feed-forward network that implements the XOR boolean function. Have a look at the following document which walks you through an example.
Please note that the instructions do not match up exactly with the current GUI. I noticed that the "Net" menu item has been changed to "Tools", also the "learning" parameter is now controled through a check-box.
Please do all of this exercise, including the testing of the network.

Part II

Complete the following assignment on character recognition
