Introduction

NeuralOps is a source-code library implementing a basic form of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in the C++ programming language; namely a fully connected, sigmoidal, feedforward network. NeuralOps is intended primarily as an example on how to use the SwarmOps source-code library for Numerical Optimization, Meta-Optimization, and Meta-Meta-Optimization of a real-world problem.

The NeuralOps source-code is published under the GNU Lesser General Public License, which essentially means that you may distribute commercial programs that link with the NeuralOps library, as well as make alterations to the NeuralOps library itself. There are certain terms to be met though, please see the license for details.
