Method Detail

read

public static Weights[] read(java.lang.String fileName)

Read the weights from an ASCII file and create an array of Weights objects. The ASCII file must have the following format:

m	n
w(1,1)	w(1,2)	...	w(1,n)	b(1)
w(2,1)	w(2,2)	...	w(2,n)	b(2)
...	...	...	...	...
w(m,1)	w(m,2)	...	w(m,n)	b(m)

where m is the number of neurons and n is the number of inputs. The w(i,j) is the weight connecting input j to neuron i, and b(i) is the bias of neuron i. The order of the data in the ASCII file must be the same as above, however, the data need not be separated by new-lines, any white-space characters will work.

Parameters:

fileName - The file name of the ASCII weights file.

Returns:

An array of Weights objects. The number of Weights objects equals the number of neurons, and the number of weights in each Weights object equals the number of inputs.
