neural network help in c++

jackybaby10 · 8 Mar 2009 at 14:54

Hey guys, I have been given code for a neural network in c++ and was wondering how i go about loading data into the input layer, do i store the information in a vector and how would i do this?

Any help would be much appreciated...

thanks in advance

Surely this depends on the code you're working with. Can you not post it up?

jackybaby10 · 8 Mar 2009 at 16:31

there are numerous source and headers files, would it be possible to send to them you via email as an attachment... and then you could look at it?

Sure, or just upload a zip or something to rapidshare/megaupload etc and post it here for everyone to have a look.

Ive sent it to your hotmail account.... thanks again.

I'm at work now, but I'll check later.

So how's Jon Tepper doing? His explanation of Neural Nets actually made them make sense

.

Two reasons it didn't compile: If you're using .NET you have to #include "stdafx.h" at the top of the files. Also, lots of i variables were used without being declared first.

Once you've done that and run it, it seems to do its own calculation automatically.

I've emailed you a working VS 2008 project, you'll have to recompile it though.

Jon's actually my final year tutor, We've had Tony Allen for Neural Networks so far. So hopefully your right when Jon starts his lectures... haha

I actually have VS 2005, Should I just add all the .cpp and .h files in the source and header folders?

What Im trying to do is predict football matches using various match and player data ? How would you go about loading thuis data into the input layer?

Thanks in advance?

Tony is good too, even if his lectures are slightly odd at times

.

You have access to MSDN:AA so you can download VS 2008 professional for free. But yeah, just make a new console application and drop in the C++ files in the zip I sent. If it still doesn't work I'll make you a 2005 project later tonight.

I'm at work so can't post too much, but http://homepages.cae.wisc.edu/~ece539/project/mpp.pdf may be of some use to you.

Yer, he is good but I think they cram too much into one lecture personally. Hes very animated but it makes the lectures interesting to say the least lol

The only problem with using VS 2008 is the graphics coursework by Richard Cant doesnt build....So id rather jsut keep VS 2005 thanks

Cheers for that Ill have read later on tonight...

So I take it you studied at Nottingham Trent University then, when did you graduate?

Cheers for the help by the way

Just tried to open the NN VC++ Project file and a Project Load File failed mate....

Pho · 10 Mar 2009 at 21:13

You can always have them both installed, 2008 is great.

Yep, I graduated last year

.

Heh. We all felt that too, it's hard to grasp a lot of the concepts when they're flying through them. We never really got to get very hands on with neural nets which was a shame. I was actually thinking of writing an algorithm in C# recently but haven't got around to it yet.

I've emailed you a 2005 project which compiles fine for me.
