ANN - Artificial Neural Network for PHP 5.x

This project realizes a neural network topology called multilayer perceptron for PHP 5.x 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 in 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.
