Hi,

Looking to explore and use neural networks - I used AI:FANN before but the most recent FANN release does not have Perl bindings.

Has anyone any recommendations?

Thanks!

    I used AI:FANN before but the most recent FANN release does not have Perl bindings.

    Sure it does, there can't be that much difference between 2.1 and 2.2

      Thanks! I'll give it a go.
        If it doesn't work or you find some new functionality in 2.2 you want to use not available through the wrapper module AI::FANN, just file a bug report and I will try to update it.

    I'm a big fan of FANN (ha). Although, I usually write the NN parts of my code in C and just call them from my scripts.

    Has anyone used any of the various other Perl Neural Networks? Quite a few up on CPAN. Wonder how they compare.

    Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K.

      I have gotten AI::FANN (2.1) to work and am playing around with the AI::NNFlex sample code. NNEasy sounded promising, but I couldn't get it to install. I'm no perl expert and its not my day job, so it takes me a while to get stuff to work. I have successfully applied Genetic Algotithm to real problems in telecoms and triggered my fascination with this AI approach.
