Perceptron.
This is an implementation of the perceptron learning algorithm for node.js.
Installing it.
npm install perceptron
Using it.
Let's teach a perceptron to implement a boolean AND function:
var perceptron = require('perceptron')
var and = perceptron()
and.train([1, 1], 1)
and.train([0, 1], 0)
and.train([1, 0], 0)
and.train([0, 0], 0)
// practice makes perfect (we hope...)
while(!and.retrain()) {}
and.perceive([1, 1]) // => 1
and.perceive([0, 1]) // => 0
and.perceive([1, 0]) // => 0
and.perceive([0, 0]) // => 0
The perceptron starts with random weights if you don't provide any defaults.
Weights are adjusted according to the delta rule each time you call train
and
the current weights give the wrong answer. Since this adjustment can cause the
perceptron to 'unlearn' previously learned inputs, retrain
iterates over all
previous inputs, calling train
again. Both train
and retrain
return a
boolean success value, indicating if the input(s) were learned.
