Interface NeuralDataPair

All Superinterfaces:

EngineData

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicNeuralDataPair

public interface NeuralDataPair
extends EngineData

Training data is stored in two ways, depending on if the data is for supervised, or unsupervised training. For unsupervised training just an input value is provided, and the ideal output values are null. For supervised training both input and the expected ideal outputs are provided. This interface abstracts classes that provide a holder for both of these two data items.

Method Detail

getIdeal

NeuralData getIdeal()

Returns:

The ideal data that the neural network should produce for the specified input.

getInput

NeuralData getInput()

Returns:

The input that the neural network

isSupervised

boolean isSupervised()

Specified by:

isSupervised in interface EngineData

Returns:

True if this training pair is supervised. That is, it has both input and ideal data.
