This program trains a multi-layer perceptron with one hidden layer. Please see http://www.uta.edu/faculty/manry/new_software.html for implementations of more advanced MLP training algorithms.
The training data has N inputs x and M outputs t. Patterns are arranged in rows with a tab or space separating the elements.
x_1 x_2 ... x_N t_1 t_2 ... t_M

The first four columns are the inputs and the last two columns are the outputs.
The training data has N inputs x and M classes ic. Patterns are arranged in rows with a tab or space separating the elements. The class numbers ic must start from 1, going all the way to M.

The first four columns are the inputs and the last column has the class numbers.
N: inputs, M: outputs, Nh: the number of hidden units , Nit: the number of training iterations/epochs.
Run the program: "run_training.m" Configure all the parameters in the GUI and press the "Train" button. The program outputs can be seen in the MATLAB console. The network weights are stored in the file weights.txt.
The console version of the program is provided in the hwo_molf_pruning folder. please run the program "mlp_TRAIN.m", or "mlp_TRAIN_CLASS.m" to train a regression or a classification model. Running these programs without any arguments prompts the user for input on the command line. These can also be invoked as functions and their prototypes are given below:
[E_train] =
mlp_TRAIN(training_file, N, M, Nh, Nit, validation_file)
[E_train] =
mlp_TRAIN_CLASS(training_file, N, M, Nh, Nit, validation_file)
The weights are stored into the file "weights.txt".
Please run "mlp_PROCESSING.m" or "mlp_PROCESSING_CLASS.m" to obtain processing results on new data. If the new data has the correct outputs available, a testing error is calculated and displayed. The GUI for the testing program is "run_testing.m".
One data set each of regression and classification types are provided in the "data" folder.
Approximation:
Twod.tra, Twod.tst (testing)
8 inputs, 7 outputs
Classification:
Gongtrn.dat, Gongtst.tst (testing)
16 inputs, 10 output classes
