Newbie question on defstructs
If I have a struct whose creation will require some function calls that references some of its members, I am unsure how to go about it in a clean way.

Re: Newbie question on defstructs
Another approach would be to use records and protocols:
(defprotocol HasCees
(c [this] Returns a 'c'))
(defrecord Foo [a b]
HasCees
(c [this]
(+ (:a this) (:b this
Now, to use it:
user (def my-foo (Foo. 1 2)
#'user/my-foo
user (c my-foo)
3
This is practically a drop-in replacement for the struct-based code
(since Clojure records behave like maps). I think with the advent of
records, there isn't really any reason to use structs anymore. Also,
this is arguably more fitting with the semantics you have, as the c
is more of a behavior than a value.
It's also common to have a factory function to create record instances
(just as Michel showed with structs), like this:
(defn make-a-foo [a b]
(Foo. a b))
This helps to make dealing with the positional constructors of records
a bit less awkward.

However, for other NNs you may care about the topological organisation
of the neurons in a 1-D, 2-D, or 3-D space in order to do things like
connecting corresponding neurons in different layers or having the
probability of a connection be a function of the separation of the
neurons. In this case, you might use a data structure representing
the coordinates of each neuron as its key.
Fully agreed, I'm partway through implementing what you've just
described (at least as I understand it), in that the library now
declares a new Graph data type which consists of a list of
keys-Neural mappings as well as a directed edge set. Using this new
data type it is possible to construct, run and train arbitrarily
connected graphs of Neural elements. See the fourth example at

If I have a struct whose creation will require some function calls that
references some of its members, I am unsure how to go about it in a
clean way. For example:
(defstruct tz :a :b :c)
(def tz1 1 2 (+ (:a tz1) (:b tz1))
Could you give a more realistic example of how you plan to use this?
If the only restriction is that you only know the values for :a and :b at
the time you want to create the structure, then this would work:
(defn create-tz [a-val b-val]
(struct-map tz :a a-val :b b-val :c (some-fn a-val b-val)))
will not work, but reflects the problem. Ideally at the end of this I
could do (:c tz1) and get 3 back. Any suggestions? Originally I had
used assocs, but that runs into the immutability problem, for example
(defstruct tz :a :b)
(def tz1 1 2)
(assoc tz1 :c (+ (:a tz1) (:b tz1))
does not actually update tz1
Correct. Values are immutable, and in Clojure, even collections are
values!
If you want to have a variable hold a reference to some changing values
then what you want is to use an atom or a ref. Atom is more easy to use,
and unless you have several mutable values that need concurrent updating,
is sufficient, so here's an example:
(def tz1 (atom (struct-map tz :a 1 :b 2)))
#'user/tz1
@tz1
{:a 1, :b 2, :c nil}
(swap! tz1 #(assoc % :c (+ (:a %) (:b %
{:a 1, :b 2, :c 3}
@tz1
{:a 1, :b 2, :c 3}
Hope that helps,

(:multiplexing clojure.contrib.sql = nil?)
I'm just getting my feet wet w/clojure's sql library, and I got to wondering---is multiplexing implemented in a library somewhere? Or is it already part of contrib.sql but executed behind the scenes?

Re: Simple Neural Network DSL -- request for feedback
You might also consider using your DSL as a frontend to the Nengo
neural simulator (http://nengo.ca). Nengo (which is written in Java)
has recently added a Python
scripting interface (http://www.frontiersin.org/neuroinformatics/
10.3389/neuro.11/007.2009/abstract). Nengo has a lot to recommend it
and is pretty mature, so you may save yourself a lot of effort under
the covers - also the way Nengo conceptualises the neyworks might be
useful feedback to your DSL design.

However, for other NNs you may care about the topological organisation
of the neurons in a 1-D, 2-D, or 3-D space in order to do things like
connecting corresponding neurons in different layers or having the
probability of a connection be a function of the separation of the
neurons. In this case, you might use a data structure representing
the coordinates of each neuron as its key.
Fully agreed, I'm partway through implementing what you've just
described (at least as I understand it), in that the library now
declares a new Graph data type which consists of a list of
keys-Neural mappings as well as a directed edge set. Using this new
data type it is possible to construct, run and train arbitrarily
connected graphs of Neural elements. See the fourth example
athttp://repo.or.cz/w/neural-net.git

Your neural network DSL looks great. One minor comment: why use lists
instead of sets? ...
I used lists because I want to be able to specify a network in which (at
least initially) all neurons in a hidden layer are identical e.g. the
list example athttp://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte/src/neural-net/.
You might want to consider maps.
Currently I'm using maps to specify a single neuron, and I fear it would
add complexity to have two different meanings for maps.
For some NN models all you care about is that each neuron has a unique
identity (in which case using an index value as a key is as good a
solution as any).
I'm currently using lists only for fully connected layers in a neural
network, e.g. the following code

Incorrect behaviour for large s-expressions :(
So my friend and I were screwing around, battling versions of LISP as nerds are wont to do, when I came across this: (eval `(clojure.core/+ ~@(take 1e4 (iterate inc 1 Invalid method Code length 89884 in class file user$eval13607 This is just trying to evaluate + directly on a bunch of arguments. Common Lisp on my friend's 30 year old Lisp machine does the equivalent of this with ease, even for much larger numbers. As I'm writing this, my friend is rubbing in this in my face by also doing the above with C-LISP on his laptop. (although his stack overflows for 1e5) I'm losing my battle!!! :( Pls. help! --Robert McIntyre -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: (:multiplexing clojure.contrib.sql = nil?)
Not sure what you meant by multiplexing? Did you mean concurrent execution of SQL statements on the same connection?

shorter alternatives for `comp' and `partial'
Hi, I find myself frequently using the `comp' and `partial' functions and while I really enjoy being able to program in a point free style, the length (in characters) of these command names often has the effect of causing what should be a brief statement to span multiple lines. I'm about to begin starting all of my clojure namespaces with (def o comp) ; o for cOmp, Haskell's (.) or Mathematical composition \circ (def p partial) ; p for partial However, I'm worried that this could limit the readability of my code, and given that this issue has (sort of) come up previously [1] [2], I figured I'd ask... Is there any support for including these function aliases for `comp' and `partial' (or some other shortened names) in the core?
