• wascana.auc.on.ca or 199.212.54.114 using telnet
• username same as eagle, password qwerty
• change the password
• cd /home/4117
• you will see cfg,log,net,res,pat files
• The configuration file trains the net file using patterns in the pat file with 250 iterations/cycles/epochs
• The results are not good because 250 cycles is not enough, besides the data itself wasn't as good.
• look at the error drop, number of calculations, the time required
• Change the net file by deleting some of the connections. Train again and look at the error drop, computations, time.
• Orig network and modified network represented pictorially. Modified network file, log file, comments on the error/calculation/time.
• Create an alias for snnsbat
• alias snnsbat /home/SNNSv4.1/tools/bin/pc_linux/snnsbat
• To run a network
• snnsbat mod.cfg mod.log &
• & sign at the end puts the process in the background
