Detailed Description

Pattern object.

Motivation: The Pattern object represent a configuration (partial or complete) of the network that can be used by a learning algorithm as model to learn. A LearningAlgorithm will use Pattern for setup network's inputs, spread network and eventually calculate the error, and modify the network's paramenters on the basis of neurons activities in order to get closer to neuron activities presented by the Pattern

Description: Pattern simply associates inputs/outputs pairs to Clusters:
Pattern pat;

pat->setInputsOf( anInputCluster, Inputs );

pat->setOutputsOf( anOutputCluster, Outputs );

pat->setInputOutputsOf( anHiddenClusterToReset, Inputs, Outputs );

//--- retrieve stored information:

pat[aCluster].inputs;

pat[anotherCluster].outputs;

//--- add/modify informations:

pat[aNewCluster].outputs.assign( aRealVecOfData );

pat[aNewCluster].outputs += 3.0;

Warnings: Pay attention when you use operator[] because it silently add new data. Like QMap::operator[]

Member Function Documentation

void configure	(	ConfigurationParameters &	params,
		QString	prefix
	)

virtual

Configures the object using a ConfigurationParameters object.

The Pattern has to be declared using a sequence of parameters with the following schema:

[aPattern]
cluster:1 = nameOfCluster
inputs:1 = list of the inputs associated to cluster:1
outputs:1 = list of the outputs associated to cluster:1
...
cluster:i = nameOf_ith_Cluster
inputs:i = list of the inputs associated to cluster:i
outputs:i = list of the outputs associated to cluster:i

Essentialy, the parameters are grouped using the identifier string after the ':' char. And the inputs and outputs with a given identifier are associated to the cluster with the same identifier. If a cluster:i is present, then at least inputs:i or outputs:i parameter must be present

Parameters

params	the configuration parameters object with parameters to use
prefix	the prefix to use to access the object configuration parameters. This is guaranteed to end with the separator character when called by the factory, so you don't need to add one

Implements ParameterSettableWithConfigureFunction.
