Student Version Basis of AI Backprop Hypertext Documentation

Introduction

This manual describes a version of backprop to go with my textbook, The Pattern Recognition Basis of AI to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press This software is adequate for students in most courses and for people who simply want to play around with backprop. Updates can be found at: MCS in Chicago. There is an improved (not free) version for people with more serious needs. Both versions use the free Tcl/Tk package from Sun Micro-Systems, see their Tcl/Tk page for details. More than likely you already have Tcl/Tk on your UNIX system, to find out try typing "wish" on the command line, if you get a prompt and not an error message you have it and then to get out, type "exit". One of the advantages of using Tcl/Tk is that to some extent you can change the GUI interface yourself even if you don't know Tcl/Tk.
