NeuralGas

statement

This project was originally forked from github.com/gittar/demogng. It was a demonstration of various topological learning algorithms, most prominently the Growing Neural Gas (Fritzke). Original license was GNU GPL v1+. The project has since been adapted to provide a library for the neural gas algorithms. All changes and additions (C)opyright 2017–2019 Hanns Holger Rutz. The adapted Java project (modules core and ui) are released under the GNU GPL v2+. A new experimental Scala module sphere has been added that is a new implementation of GNG-U, using spherical coordinates. This module is released under the GNU LGPL v2.1+.

Changes to the Java project in summary:

• original authors: Hartmut S. Loos, Bernd Fritzke
• license: GNU GPL 2
• using sbt to build the application
• using dedicated namespace de.sciss.neuralgas
• using two sub-modules core (algorithms) and ui (AWT front-end)
• code clean up
• image based probability distribution
• added JFrame wrapper

building

The project builds with sbt. To run the original demo, use

sbt neuralgas-ui/run
