Hey Guys!
Im trying to find an exercise to train my ANN knowledge, but most of them are so advanced or badly explain that i barely start.
Would anyone give me some exercise of Hopfield and feedfoward Neural network?
Nothing too hard, im still a noob 
Im out of ideas, anything at all would be fine. I will also share the code.
Any ideas for something that i could use? Something cool!
by the way, im using Jeff Heaton ANN Java Book.
I’ve found this to be a great starter on NNs: http://www.theprojectspot.com/tutorial-post/introduction-to-artificial-neural-networks-part-1/7
Read that, understand it, and then write an implementation. Have it model some simple functions. Learn from doing.
Yeah i want to make some code about it.
I looked the website but they didnt have an actual exercise.
I want to make something that actually works.
I need a problem to solve! But i cant think of any. That sucks 
I give you your first problem to solve: Make a neural network. Any neural network. It doesn’t even have to be set up to model anything. Write me some classes that create a generic 2 layer network with input nodes with a trigger() method, and some way to query the output, because that’s the first step.
Working on it
A hopfield is okay?
A classic ANN exercise is an XOR logic gate (that’s what I had to do in college anyway). Build an 8 input XOR gate. If you can get a 100% accurate result then you’ve cracked it.
So, you have 8 inputs and one output. If one and only one of the inputs is 1 then the output is 1, otherwise the output is 0. Good luck!
Ok, that is so cool!
Can you guys share some more links for tutorials or resources for constructing a Nueral Network model?
Jeff heaton!
Burnt Pizza, thanks a lot , im working on it
Sounds very cool Andre, good luck 
Thanks m8.
Im having a bit of a problem with my memory stick so im getting delayed…
BurntPizza.
Its Ready.
Ok.So, i asked DermetFan to help me speed it up. He made the view for me while i did the ANN stuff.
I replaced most of the book code with EJML.
I know how the hopfield works (Matrix calculations, step-by-step), so the simple things, i didnt change.
Heres the Source Code :

And heres the video showing the app working :
This is an old thread, but in case somebody stumbles upon it in their googling, I’ll add that two times I’ve used ANN were for OCR (user draws a number or a letter, you convert that to a data structure like a 2D array, neural network takes that 2D array as input and outputs what number or letter it thinks it is) and for playing the Game of Nim.
