Before you actually run the project, we'll mention a couple of final things you will want to do.
You can watch the state of the network in the NetView while it
learns and during testing. The NetView is automatically updated by the
Trial processes in both the training and testing process hierarchies.
(You can have it updated by other processes by selecting View:Object
/ Add Updater / <process> in the NetView). Both of these Trial
processes will send the NetView an update signal, so you can see the
values of whatever state variable you'd like to look at updated after
each trial of training or testing. You might select act
as the
variable to display in the NetView, toggle Auto Range
off, and
set the max
and min
on the color scale to 1 and -1. That
way the meanings of the color in the color scale stay fixed as the
various patterns are presented.
If you are recording the project using a script, you might want to turn off the scripting process at this point, since the network creation process is complete. De-iconify the script and click StopRec. You may Edit your script (which should pull up an editor and allow you to view the script file), to see what steps were taken, etc.
Regarless of whether you recorded a script, you will want to save the state of the project as it is now, so that it can simply be re-loaded from a project file, just like the XOR example. Select Object / Save As in the Project window, and specify a file name for saving (a ".proj.gz" will automatically be added to the end of the file name).
