Detailed Description
CopyLinker Class.
This linker copies the outputs of a cluster to inputs of another cluster
- Motivation
- The CopyLinker is useful in networks when one requires that data be transferred from one Cluster's terminal to another without computation. For example, in Elmann networks the values of hidden layer inputs are copied to the context layer Cluster (which acts like a short-term memory of former inputs).
- Description
- The CopyLinker is an object that 'literally' copies the outputs from one Cluster to another. Use the fromVector and toVector for specifying the source and target vector for the Cluster
- Warnings
- If there is a mis-match in the dimensionality of the terminals connected by the CopyLinker, as much data as possible is copied. For example; a CopyLinker between a 'from' and 'to' Cluster with 8 and 5 inputs respectively, will copy the first 5 data elements for 'from' into the inputs for 'to'. Vice versa, if the dimensions of 'from' and 'to' are 5 and 8 respectively, then the 5 inputs of the 'from' cluster (all of the source data) are copied into the first 5 inputs of the 'to' Cluster (with 3 neurons receiving no input).

| void save | ( | ConfigurationParameters & | params, |
| QString | prefix | ||
| ) | [virtual] |
Save the actual status of parameters into the ConfigurationParameters object passed.
This saves the name property, remember to call this in child classes
- Parameters:
-
params the configuration parameters object on which save actual parameters prefix the prefix to use to access the object configuration parameters.
