abstract

  • This work has been motivated by the increasing effort currently required in educational institutions while using computational tools for teaching Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). An appropriate and user-friendly programming tool is proposed with the aim to redress the situation in this important information science discipline. The programming environment is established with added capabilities over professional packages. The programming tool named Neural Studio is a user-friendly solution for the Windows platform developed at the Electrical & Computer Engineering department at Florida International University, which allows designing and studying the behavior of ANNs without the need for program-code writing. The interface provides graphic modules for network design, a pattern editor, a backpropagation training module as well as modules for feature maps, clustering, and memory association, among other possibilities. The software was written in Borland Delphi, which uses object PASCAL code, a high level programming language with an easy syntax and created for educational purposes.
