Encog Machine Learning Framework

In this article I will discuss some of the primary issues with GPU programming. This article will focus on how we implemented the first version of GPU support in the Encog Machine Learning Framework. This article focuses mainly on using OpenCL from ... [More] Java or C#, however it is general enough to apply to any language that can commu icate with OpenCL. read more [Less]

Here is an announcement from both the Encog and Neuroph teams. http://netbeans.dzone.com/encog-neuroph-collaboration Encog and Neuroph are both AI frameworks that provide neural network functions. Neuroph allows neural networks to be modeled at ... [More] the neuron level and is particularly adept at allowing the programmer to create entirely new neural network architectures. Encog is more focused on performance, multi-core and GPU usage of known neural network architectures. We are going to make the platforms more compatible and offer the best of both worlds. [Less]

Today we released Encog 2.4 for both Java and .Net. This is a very major upgrade to Encog. It contains the following enhancements. Encog is an advanced machine learning framework for Java. read more

The goal of this article is to help you understand what a neural network is, and how it is used. Most people, even non-programmers, have heard of neural networks. There are many science fiction overtones associated with them. And like many things ... [More] , sci-fi writers have created a vast, but somewhat inaccurate, public idea of what a neural network is. read more [Less]

Okay, Encog 2.4 is out in beta. Time to start thinking about Encog 2.5, this might be the last of the 2.x line. Encog 3.0 will likely see some major, internal changes that allow even more abstraction and performance further performance shortcuts. ... [More] Critical for some of the grid processing we are working on using Hadoop, and the Encog cloud for a sort of SETI style neural network, where we will allow people from the internet to chain their computers into some of our larger tasks. Particularly in financial analysis! But that is still a few releases away. read more [Less]
