Neural Networks in Ada.

Neural Networks in Ada.

[munnari.oz.au!bunyip.cc.uq.oz.au!jasper.ucq.edu.au!topaz.ucq.edu.au!hanna]

Is there anyone who has succesfully coded a neural network in Ada.

I have coded back propagation myself, along with Kohonen, and extension of
Kohonen, and a number of ohers, but I am finding my back prop code looks ugly
and I am having trouble getting the interface intuitive.  

Also, the conjugate gradient method has got me stumped!

Any packages would be appreciated, because I am comparing a network I have
developed (in Ada!!) against as many others I can get my hands on.


Thanks.

Paul,
Please post the results of your survey/information gathering.  Also please
post/deposit your source code in someone's repository.

   A while back there was a discussion about the relation of
programming language and culture.  I was just reminded that there were
two places I would expect a posting like this: comp.lang.ada, and in
Multics Forums.  Everywhere else, "my code looks ugly" seems to be a
badge of honor, and intuitive interfaces are not a high priority....
