Netlab

Pattern analysis toolbox.

Description

The Netlab toolbox is designed to provide the central tools necessary for the simulation of theoretically well founded neural network algorithms and related models for use in teaching, research and applications development. It contains many techniques which are not yet available in standard neural network simulation packages.

The principles behind the toolbox are more important than simply compiling lists of algorithms. Data analysis and modelling methods should not be used in isolation; all parts of the toolbox interact in a coherent way, and implementations of standard pattern recognition techniques (such as linear regression and K-nearest-neighbour classifiers) are provided so that they can be used as benchmarks against which more complex algorithms can be evaluated. This interaction allows researchers to develop new techniques by building on and reusing existing software, thus reducing the effort required and increasing the robustness and usability of the new tools.

An accompanying text book, Netlab: Algorithms for Pattern Recognition written by Ian Nabney is published by Springer in their series Advances in Pattern Recognition: the ISBN number is 1-85233-440-1.

very helpful compilation of files

really helpful last download did not fully work

Outstanding tool for use in addition to Matlabs nnet toolbox. Netlab incorporates concepts from baysien conditional type models into nnets. Reader particularly liked and found the parts from data sampling and optimization useful. Material bridges some of the gap between statistical data anaylsis and the control system approach used by the Matlab toolbox.

Hi, I am trying to load netlab into Matlab ver 13 but the software does not recognise the commands used in netlab. Can someone help me....tks

I have used NetLab for for doing preliminary research and general benchmarking of Neural Network ideas. I find the toolbox very useful, especially when it is used with the accompanying text book.

hi,I have some problem with ant colony optimisation. can someone help me .thanks

[Roy]

could u please send a tutorial on netlab? i am trying to perform GMM on the probability density estimator rather than on samples (i.e., to break the pde i have to the creating gaussians).

Hi, I am trying to load netlab into Matlab6 but the software does not recognise. Can someone help me....tks

[Sam Da]

I don't feel it is fully tested. So, you can't use it "off the shelf".

[Josh]

hmmm.... no documentation, and the first demo I run fails due to an incompatibility with more recent version of MATLAB. Last update was 2002... I say this submission is dead.

tks
