>&#13;      fann - Fast Artificial Neural Network Library is written in ANSI C. The library implements multilayer
      feedforward ANNs, up to 150 times faster than other libraries. FANN supports execution in fixed point, for fast
      execution on systems like the iPAQ.

Software Developer's Journal (formerly Software 2.0) is a magazine for professional programmers and developers publishing news from the software world and practical articles presenting very interesting ready programming solutions. To read more

Neural networks are typically associated with highly specialised applications, developed only by select groups of experst. This misconception has had a highly negative effect on its popularity. Hopefully, the FANN library will help fill this gap.
