Class Synapse.Builder

java.lang.Object

network.aika.neuron.Synapse.Builder

All Implemented Interfaces:

Neuron.Builder

Enclosing class:

Synapse

public static class Synapse.Builder
extends Object
implements Neuron.Builder

The Builder class is just a helper class which is used to initialize a neuron. Most of the parameters of this class will be mapped to a input synapse for this neuron.

Method Detail

setRecurrent

public Synapse.Builder setRecurrent(boolean recurrent)

The property recurrent specifies if input is a recurrent feedback link. Recurrent feedback links can be either negative or positive depending on the weight of the synapse. Recurrent feedback links kind of allow to use future information as inputs of a current neuron. Aika allows this by making assumptions about the recurrent input neuron. The class SearchNode modifies these assumptions until the best interpretation for this document is found.

Parameters:

recurrent -

Returns:

setNeuron

public Synapse.Builder setNeuron(Neuron neuron)

Determines the input neuron.

Parameters:

neuron -

Returns:

setWeight

public Synapse.Builder setWeight(double weight)

The synapse weight of this input.

Parameters:

weight -

Returns:

setBias

public Synapse.Builder setBias(double bias)

The bias of this input that will later on be added to the neurons bias.

Parameters:

bias -

Returns:

setLimit

public Synapse.Builder setLimit(double limit)

setDistanceFunction

public Synapse.Builder setDistanceFunction(DistanceFunction distFunc)

setIdentity

public Synapse.Builder setIdentity(boolean identity)

setSynapseId

public Synapse.Builder setSynapseId(int synapseId)

registerSynapseIds

public void registerSynapseIds(Neuron n)

Specified by:

registerSynapseIds in interface Neuron.Builder

getSynapse

public Synapse getSynapse(Neuron outputNeuron)
