C/C++ Building Neural Networks with C++

AI Thread Summary
Building neural networks in C++ is a topic of interest, with discussions highlighting various implementations and potential applications. One participant shared their experience with a professor who developed a neural network for catching sexual predators, emphasizing the challenge of explaining its functionality in court despite its effectiveness. This raises questions about the ethical and legal implications of using such technology, particularly in tracking individuals online for advertising purposes. Another contributor expressed their goal of creating a neural network to describe the motion of components in non-linear systems and mentioned the availability of open-source projects for assistance. Additionally, past attempts at implementing neural networks in a project revealed that the network evolved rather than learned, indicating the complexity of these systems. Resources like JavaAI and related literature were suggested for those interested in further exploration.

Hello again,

Im trying to build a neural network using C++. Has anyone had a go? I think the potential implications are really interesting and would like to hear about how people might have implemented them. Another general one for anyone.
 
Technology news on Phys.org
I am very interested in your project. I am no where near that level however I would love to hear updates on how it is going and the progress you make. A professor of mine developed a neural network some years ago dealing with catching sexual predators. He didn't go into much detail about it but he did say that he could not explain why it worked. He spent a lot of time in court because he did a lot of forensic work for local law ( Florida ). He used his own neural network as a tool to catch these sexual predators but he could not use that information in court because he could not explain why it worked. He just knew that it did. What is your goal for your neural network if you don't mind me asking?
 
I can't envision how a network such as that might work but it seems like an interesting idea. Could this potentially be developed into a tool which could track a persons movements throughout the web, building an identity? I'm sure advertising companies would love such a thing, though the legalities of it not to mention the ethical aspect might be questionable.
 
I want mine to be able to produce a vector describing the motion of a component of a highly non-linear system.
 
I believe there are open source or free projects ready to use.

Long ago I tried to implement neural network as part of the bitozoa project. It worked to some extent, but neural network was not learning, but evolving.
 
No endorsement intended, but some time ago I stored away a download of JavaAI and the book "Practical*Artificial*Intelligence*Programming*in*Java" by Mark Watson in order to poke around with it later, which hasn't happened yet. There is a large section on NNets which might be useful. See the above named section at:

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'
I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
