Encog Project
About the Encog Project
Encog is an advanced neural network and bot programming library. Encog can be used independently either to create neural networks or HTTP bot programs. Encog also includes classes that combine these two advanced features. Encog contains classes for Feedforward Neural Networks, Hopfield Neural Networks, and self organizing maps. Training can be accomplished using backpropagation, simulated annealing, and genetic optimization. Additional classes are provided for pruning neural networks.
Encog also includes advanced HTTP bot programming features. A multithreaded spider that can store its workload either in memory on a database is provided. HTML parsing is provided, as well as advanced form and cookie handling.
If you are looking for a Java or C# neural network or bot API, Encog is a great choice. Encog is currently at version 0.5, with several features planned before 1.0. If you would like to contribute to the Encog project please let us know. You do not need to be a neural network expert. But a good understanding of Java is necessary. We have many defined tasks that we can assign people to people.
The C# version of Encog has not yet been released, it should be online within a few weeks.
The two versions of Encog are maintained at code.google.com. They can be accessed from the following links.
