ANN - Artificial Neural Network for PHP

This project realizes a neural network topology called multilayer perceptron for PHP environments. The source code is based on a work by Eddy Young in 2002. Several improvements and changes on this implementation are done by Thomas Wien (thwien.de - Ratingen - Germany) since 2007. You will find the PHP source in the section Download. Please, consider the Copyright. To get a short idea what is the benefit of neural networks have a look at page Neural Networks.
