NAME

td_bignet - time-delay network generator for the neural network simulation package SNNS

SYNOPSIS

td_bignet plane-definition ... link-definition ... [ output-file ]

plane-definition
defines the several layers of the network. There must be at least two plane definitions, but there might be any number given on the command line. Note, that you might have to define several planes for a single network layer, if you want to define a more complex network connection pattern than just "full-connection". One plane definition takes the form

-p f d

f : number of feature units

d : total delay length

link-definition

defines the connectivity of the network. There must be at least one link definition, but there might be any number given on the command line. One link definition takes the form

-l sp sf sw d tp tf tw

sp : number of the source plane

sf : 1st feature unit in source plane

sw : field width in source plane

d : delay length in source plane

tp : number of the target plane

tf : 1st feature unit in target plane

tw : field width in target plane

OPTIONS

output-file

name of the generated network file. Default is "SNNNS_TD_NET.net"

DESCRIPTION

td_bignet can be used to automatically construct neural networks with the topology for time-delay learning. As with ff_bignet(1), the graphical version included in xgui(1) is preferrable if networks are to be constructed manually.
