FANN(Fast Artificial Neural Network)

Fast Artificial Neural Network Library is a free open source neural network library, which implements multilayer artificial neural networks in C with support for both fully connected and sparsely connected networks. Cross-platform execution in both fixed and floating point are supported. It includes a framework for easy handling of training data sets. It is easy to use, versatile, well documented, and fast. PHP, C++, .NET, Ada, Python, Delphi, Octave, Ruby, Prolog Pure Data and Mathematica bindings are available.


                          



FANN Features:
  • Multilayer Artificial Neural Network Library in C
  • Backpropagation training (RPROP, Quickprop, Batch, Incremental)
  • Evolving topology training which dynamically builds and trains the ANN (Cascade2)
  • Easy to use (create, train and run an ANN with just three function calls)
  • Fast (up to 150 times faster execution than other libraries)
  • Versatile (possible to adjust many parameters and features on-the-fly)
  • Well documented
  • Cross-platform (configure script for linux and unix, dll files for windows, project files for MSVC++ and Borland compilers are also reported to work)
  • Several different activation functions implemented (including stepwise linear functions for that extra bit of speed)
  • Easy to save and load entire ANNs
  • Several easy to use examples
  • Can use both floating point and fixed point numbers (actually both float, double and int are available)
  • Cache optimized (for that extra bit of speed)
  • Open source (licenced under LGPL)
  • Framework for easy handling of training data sets
