What’s New and News?

 

New NeuroDimension Web Site

We are proud to announce the recent redesign of the NeuroDimension web site. This new design makes it faster and easier to learn about NeuroDimension products, obtain product support, and order new products.

 

The focal point of this new design is our innovative product tours that take you step-by-step through everything you need to know about each of our products. Or, if you are looking for specific information about a product, view our helpful FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) or jump to a specific Tour Topic. You can even learn about more about neural networks by reading our introductory texts or the first chapter of our interactive book, Neural and Adaptive Systems: Fundamentals Through Simulations.

 

Whether you are interested in artificial intelligence, want to know more about NeuroDimension products, or are already a NeuroDimension customer, we encourage you to visit our new web site today at www.nd.com

 

Neural Network Course Completed

We successfully completed another neural network and NeuroSolutions course in early May. It included attendees from Canada, Singapore, Venezuela, and all over the US. We always enjoy getting to know our customers better, especially when it gives us a chance to discuss their applications. Once again, we received rave reviews from our attendees, giving us an average score of 4.83 of 5 when asked to rate the overall quality of the course. As one attendee wrote – “Excellent course! Excellent instructors!

 
New Neural Network Course Announced

The next neural network course has been scheduled for October 21 - October 25, 2002 at the Grosvenor Resort, located in the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. A 10% discount is available for early registration, so be sure to register today!

 

Our course format allows both novice and advanced users to find a suitable course. Offered courses include: "Introduction to NeuroSolutions", "Fundamentals of Neural Networks and NeuroSolutions", and "Advanced NeuroSolutions". The courses include a copy of our interactive book, Neural and Adaptive Systems: Fundamentals Through Simulations.

This Issue: Deploying your Neural Network into a Custom Application

 

One common question received by both our technical and sales staff is “Once I have trained a NeuroSolutions neural network on my data, how do I put it into production?” Some people can use the graphical user interface (GUI) of either NeuroSolutions or NeuroSolutions for Excel to apply a production data set and extract the network outputs. However, many have applications where the use of these GUIs would be impractical. For these application developers and power users we provide three options for embedding a NeuroSolutions neural network into a custom application:

 

Code Generation
The Professional and Developers levels of NeuroSolutions allow you to automatically generate C++ source code for your neural network. This gives you the flexibility to customize the neural network code for your particular application (if necessary). Since the generated code is ANSI-compliant, you can deploy your neural network solution to other platforms such as UNIX (requires the Source Code License product).

 

DLL Generation
The Custom Solution Wizard is an optional add-in product that will take a neural network designed within NeuroSolutions and encapsulate it into a dynamic link library (DLL) that conforms to a simple protocol. This DLL can then be embedded into your own C++, Visual Basic, Excel, Access or Internet (ASP) application. The key advantage to this approach is that you don't need to be an advanced programmer to use it.

 

OLE Automation
This technology gives you the ability to programmatically control NeuroSolutions from any external application that supports Automation, such as Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, and applications you develop with Visual Basic or Visual C++. In the simplest case, you could send NeuroSolutions the data to process, tell it to begin processing, then retrieve the results into your application. But because of its extensive protocol, NeuroSolutions could be instructed to do much more complex tasks. Any series of operations that you would normally be required to do manually can instead be performed programmatically using Automation. NeuroSolutions even has a built-in macro recorder that can automatically create the Visual Basic code that corresponds to the actions you take within the NeuroSolutions interface, significantly decreasing the amount of code you would need to write manually.
