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.

First Claim:
Show all 6 claims
What is claimed is:     1. A method of defining a first neural network model for use by a neural network having an input and an output for a result, comprising the steps of:
  • accessing a neural network data structure, wherein the neural network data structure defines a structure and organization of a plurality of data arrays, wherein the plurality of data arrays have data types and an order within the neural network data structure, and wherein the structure and organization of the neural network data structure is common and generic to all of a plurality of defined neural network models; and
  • building a default neural network data structure unique to said first neural network model, said building step further comprising the step of:
  • entering a plurality of data values unique to the first neural network model into the neural network data structure.
