| Abstract: |
A neural network shell has a defined interface to an application program. By interfacing with the neural network shell, any application program becomes a neural network application program. The neural network shell contains a set of utility programs that transfers data into and out of a neural network data structure. This set of utility programs allows an application program to define a new neural network model, create a neural network data structure, train a neural network, and run a neural network. Once trained, the neural network data structure can be transported to other computer systems or to application programs written in different computing languages running on similar or different computer systems.

What is claimed is:
1. A program product for creating a default neural network data structure for a neural network in a computer system, comprising:
- a recording medium containing instructions capable of being executed on the computer system;
- means, recorded on the recording medium, for creating a common neural network data structure in memory of the computer system, wherein the common neural network data structure is common and generic to all of a plurality of defined neural network models, wherein the common neural network data structure defines a structure and organization of a plurality of data arrays in the memory, and wherein the plurality of data arrays have data types and an order within the neural network data structure;
- means, recorded on the recording medium, for selecting a neural network model from the plurality of defined neural network models for said neural network;
- means, recorded on the recording medium, for creating said default neural network data structure for said neural network model selected by said selecting means by inputting initial values for a plurality of data arrays into said default neural network data structure, wherein the default neural network data structure has the same structure and organization as the common neural network data structure;
- means, recorded on the recording medium, for prompting for a plurality of parameters specific to said neural network; and
- means, recorded on the recording medium, for inputting said plurality of parameters into said default neural network data structure.
