Neataptic

Neataptic offers flexible neural networks; neurons and synapses can be removed with a single line of code. No fixed architecture is required for neural networks to function at all. This flexibility allows networks to be shaped for your dataset through neuro-evolution, which is done using multiple threads.

// this network learns the XOR gate (through neuro-evolution)
var network = new Network(2,1);

var trainingSet = [
  { input: [0,0], output: [0] },
  { input: [0,1], output: [1] },
  { input: [1,0], output: [1] },
  { input: [1,1], output: [0] }
];

await network.evolve(trainingSet, {
  equal: true,
  error: 0.03
 });

Neataptic also backpropagates more than 5x faster than competitors. Run the tests yourself. This is an example of regular training in Neataptic:

// this network learns the XOR gate (through backpropagation)
var network = new architect.Perceptron(2, 4, 1);

// training set same as in above example
network.train(trainingSet, {
  error: 0.01
});

network.activate([1,1]); // 0.9824...

Use any of the 6 built-in networks with customisable sizes to create a network:

var myNetwork = new architect.LSTM(1, 10, 5, 1);

Or built your own network with pre-built layers:

var input = new Layer.Dense(2);
var hidden1 = new Layer.LSTM(5);
var hidden2 = new Layer.GRU(3);
var output = new Layer.Dense(1);

input.connect(hidden1);
hidden1.connect(hidden2);
hidden2.connect(output);

var myNetwork = architect.Construct([input, hidden1, hidden2, output]);

You can even built your network neuron-by-neuron using nodes and groups!

Examples

Neural networks can be used for nearly anything; driving a car, playing a game and even to predict words! At this moment, the website only displays a small amount of examples.

Install

Neataptic files are hosted by rawgit, just copy this link into the <head> tag:

<script src="https://wagenaartje.github.io/neataptic/cdn/1.4.4/neataptic.js"></script>

Installing with node is also possible:

npm install neataptic

Make sure you have Node.js v7.6 or higher installed!

Further notices

Parts of Synaptic where used to develop Neataptic.

The neuro-evolution algorithm used is the Instinct algorithm.
