On NetBeans Zone there has been a good three part series of articles about Neuroph, a Java framework for developing neural networks. Part 1 and part 2 focus on what neural networks are and what they are typically used for. Basically a neural network is a structured model of nodes that map input data to an output. The model changes as it assigns weights to the connections between the nodes based on a training process with a set of data.

What really caught my eye was part 3 on using a neural network for image recognition. There's a demo application called easyNeurons that makes trying out a neural network extremely simple. You can download the demo along with the Neuroph framework or just try it online. The instructions for creating a neural network for image recognition are fairly straightforward and I couldn't resist giving it a go.

I decided to use a set of Duke images. More specifically the ones of Read more...
