Example of interactive Web based telelearning "module"
|
Backend Computation: Neural Network (Backpropagation) for hand-written character recognition
|
Interactive Frontend Components:
-
Java/HotJava based character drawing pad
-
alphabet histogram to display the output layer values
-
interactive visualization of hidden units (in progress).
|
In the current demo, backend is a C code developed at Caltech within C3P (Felten, Hutchinson, Otto).
|
In the "Grand Challenge" limit (as per WebWork project) this could be replaced by a suitable HPCC computation.
|
In the "Little Simulation" limit (in progress), a simplified version of the whole backprop code can be written in Java so that the whole Neural Network "module" can be downloaded and explored at the client/student side.
