Question re usage of NeuralGeneticAlgorithmHelper when subclassing NeuralGeneticAlgorithm
Hi,
I wish to do unsupervised training of my ANN and so I am trying to create a subclass of NeuralGeneticAlgorithm. Using this I have no access to the GeenticAlgorithm in order to set Mutation Percent/Population etc. This is because NeuralGeneticAlgorithmHelper has package visibility.
As a work around I have changed the class NeuralGeneticAlgorithmHelper to have public visibility, but should I be using the classes in a different way?
Thanks for any help,
Martin




I had not thought of that. The helper class should be public, so it can be extended. I will make this change to Encog 2.0 soon, and it will be reflected in the official non-beta release coming up soon.
