Encog-Node

Encog-Node is a Node.js port of the popular Encog Machine Learning Framework by Jeff Heaton.

All credits of the framework should go to Jeff Heaton - http://www.heatonresearch.com/encog/

Currently based on the encog-javascript v1.0 - https://github.com/encog/encog-javascript

Installation

npm install encog-node

Usage

Just require the library and all of ENCOG namespace will be available to you,

var ENCOG = require('encog-node');

Example

The example code below will build a simple XOR Neural Network, the code is included in examples\xor.js

var ENCOG = require('encog-node');
 
var XOR_INPUT = [
    [0, 0],
    [1, 0],
    [0, 1],
    [1, 1]
];
 
var XOR_IDEAL = [
    [0],
    [1],
    [1],
    [0]
];
 
var network = ENCOG.networks.basic.create([
    ENCOG.layers.basic.create(ENCOG.activationFunctions.sigmoid.create(), 2, 1),
    ENCOG.layers.basic.create(ENCOG.activationFunctions.sigmoid.create(), 3, 1),
    ENCOG.layers.basic.create(ENCOG.activationFunctions.sigmoid.create(), 1, 0)
]);
 
network.randomize();
 
var train = ENCOG.trainers.propagation.create(network, ENCOG.errorFunctions.linear.create(), XOR_INPUT, XOR_IDEAL, "RPROP", 0, 0);
 
var iteration = 1;
 
do {
    train.iteration();
    var trainResultString = "Training Iteration #" + iteration + ", Error: " + train.error;
    console.log(trainResultString + "\n");
    iteration++;
} while (iteration < 1000 && train.error > 0.01);
 
var input = [0, 0];
var output = [];
 
console.log("Testing neural network: \n");
 
for (var i = 0; i < XOR_INPUT.length; i++) {
    output = network.compute(XOR_INPUT[i]);
    var testResultString = "Input: " + String(XOR_INPUT[i][0]) +
        " ; " + String(XOR_INPUT[i][1]) +
        "   Output: " + String(output[0]) +
        "   Ideal: " + String(XOR_IDEAL[i][0]);
    console.log(testResultString + "\n");
}

Will display,

Running included examples

The examples are included in the examples folder The XOR example can be simply run by,

var ENCOG = require('encog-node');
 
ENCOG.examples.xor();

The Iris flower data set example can be run by,

var ENCOG = require('encog-node');
 
ENCOG.examples.iris();

Node.js version compatibility

Should work on all Node.js versions. Tested up to Node.js v6.3.0
