< Neural Network in Javascript >

This is a Neural Network written in Javascript.

While learning about Neural Networks, I looked at example programs on the Net, and most of them were in Java. They are platform compatible and all sorts of things, but they have one big disadvantage: They normally do not work. How often have you waited ages till an applet downloaded and executed, and then got an NullPointerException?

That is why I decided to do a Neural Network in Javascript. One which simulates a real task, not just draws lines.

This is a phonebook simulation, which autocorrects your spelling mistakes.

Does your electronic addressbook tells you that your friend Marc is spelled Mark and give you his phonenumber instead of just saying "Entry does not exist"? - This one does.

Try different phone numbers, Tom instead of Tommy, Sue instead of Susan or your own names.

It is just an example program to show the principle. It allows only three names, and they cannot be longer than 5 characters, but hey, it works! (Not in Netscape4 on a Mac, though.)

On the left, you can enter your own names and telephone numbers or leave them as they are. Names cannot be longer than 5 characters, and phone numbers have to be 7 digits long.

If you press the search button, it will automatically start processing, and will present you a phone number for the entered name. It will correct (unfortuantely only slight) spelling errors for you, like Marc instead of Mark.
