Hi all, I wanted to try out Davide Morelli's [ann_mlp] object, which uses the FANN library for neural nets, and found that some of the FANN functions it uses no longer work as of FANN 2.0. I decided to take it on and update things to get basic functionality going, and then went further to add access to additional/new FANN options and create an in-depth help file as well.
It's been useful to me in timbre classification problems, and if there isn't already a current go-to neural net option for Pd that I just don't know about, I feel like this would be a great tool to put out there again. I'm happy to share this source code/help file, but I wanted to see if [ann_mlp] is something Davide or anyone else still wants to maintain as part of the [ann] library. I also see that Iohannes and Georg Holzmann put in work on [ann], and I'm wondering about its status for the future. I don't think I'll be taking on updating the other objects in [ann], so one option would be for me to put my updated version of Davide's [ann_mlp] out in the world on its own for now. I've been calling it [fann] in my own use since it's a direct interface for FANN functions. Any thoughts on this? Is there another neural net package for Pd that I'm totally ignorant of? A more current version of [ann] using FANN 2.0 that I just didn't come across in my searches?
