Operation Charmander (I don't know why I picked this name) is a university project designed around implementing some of the most popular ANNs like Multilayer Perceptron Network and ANFIS (Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system) using Java programming language. It's not a fancy project that you can use in your application or something but it is fine for understanding the coding and some maths behind neural networks. So for any large project, I recommend you to use a commercial library.
The main source of the knowledge behind this project is a book called "Fundamentals of Computational Intelligence" by Keller, Liu, and Fogel. So for any more detail on maths of the project, I refer to this book. I may or may not include some HTML files in the project for the readers to follow for a better understanding of the code, but for any more information feel free to create an issue. I'll check them every them.
As this is a small project, It doesn't require any fancy build options. I coded this using Jave with help of tools like Maven (I have to learn it first) and NetBeans. My JDK version is 1.8 and the NetBeans version is 11. It doesn't require any fancy dependencies as well (yet); But I think even if it'll need some, Maven would handle it well.
For running the project, just build it normally using Maven or import it in NetBeans (Recommended), compile and run it.
Download Maven binary (bin) based on your operating system from this link. In windows create a directory anywhere you like. Extract the bin file that you just download in there. Then go to your environment variable settings and add the "bin" folder address in the Path section. Open a command prompt and cd to the project folder. Run:
mvn package
mvn compile
You have your jar files ready to go.
Simply install Maven using sudo apt install maven and follow the steps I explained before.
Don't use it as your own university project. It's a shitty thing to do. Just try to follow the code and learn from it. Then you can write your project faster and better.
Peace
