Custom Solution Wizard Summary
|
The Custom Solution Wizard (CSW) is a tool that will take an existing neural network created with NeuroSolutions and automatically generate and compile a Dynamic Link Library (DLL). This allows you to easily incorporate neural network models into your own applications. The best part is that you own any neural network DLLs that you create -- your only investment is the cost of the software! The Custom Solution Wizard does more than just create an isolated DLL. It integrates the DLL into a working sample application, giving you an excellent starting point for your own application. Sample applications can be created for Visual Basic, Access, Excel, Visual C++ and Active Server Pages (ASP web pages). In addition, you can also use the CSW to develop custom neural network models for our financial analysis product, TradingSolutions. |

The Custom Solution Wizard (CSW) is an add-on program for NeuroSolutions that will allow you to embed a custom neural network into your own application. It does this by encapsulating your NeuroSolutions neural network (breadboard) into a self-contained Dynamic Link Library (DLL). It also gives you the option to automatically create a shell program for your development environment and configure it for you data and DLL. Now you don't have to be an advanced programmer to develop a custom neural-network-based application.
Below is a summary of the key highlights of this product. After reading this you may want to review the level summary to determine the level of the Custom Solution Wizard that would best meet your needs. We recommend that you to contact us for a product presentation in order to gain a full understanding of the software. The CSW demo included with the evaluation edition of NeuroSolutions will step you through a basic example in a little more detail, allowing you to view some of the source code.
Create Recall-Only or Learning DLLs
There are two types of neural network DLLs that the Custom Solution Wizard can create:- Recall-Only
A recall-only DLL is one in which the internal weights of the neural network are trained within NeuroSolutions by you the DLL developer and cannot be modified by the user of the DLL. Its only purpose it to obtain the neural network output when given a new set of input data. This type of DLL is used in applications where either you want to limit the users' level of control or where re-training or re-tuning of the neural network weights is not necessary. Recall-only DLLs can be generated by all levels of the Custom Solution Wizard.
- Learning
A learning DLL has all of the functionality of a recall-only DLL, but it also gives the end-user of your application the ability to re-tune or re-train the neural network weights with new data. This type of DLL is used in applications when you want to give the users more control over the neural network or when a periodic re-training or re-tuning of the weights is necessary due to changes in the system dynamics over time. Learning DLLs can only be generated the Developers level of the Custom Solution Wizard.
Start with a Working Project
The Custom Solution Wizard can do more than just create an isolated DLL. It can create a sample application project for:- Microsoft Visual Basic
- Microsoft Access
- Microsoft Excel
- Microsoft Visual C++
- Active Server Pages (.asp web pages)
Create Custom Neural Network Models for Trading
The TradingSolutions Suite is the combination of TradingSolutions, NeuroSolutions (Developers Lite level), NeuroSolutions for Excel and the Custom Solution Wizard (Developers level). When combined, these tools extend the neural modeling capabilities of TradingSolutions to give power users all the flexibility they need to turn their own neural network designs into profits.TradingSolutions includes over 50 variations of 5 neural network architectures to choose from, which offers more flexibility than any other neural-network-based technical analysis package on the market. However, with the TradingSolutions Suite you have an infinite number of neural network topologies at your disposal, allowing you to solve even the most challenging financial forecasting problems.
Using NeuroSolutions and possibly NeuroSolutions for Excel, you first design a prototype neural network model with some financial data. If the initial testing results look promising then you quickly launch the Custom Solution Wizard and compile the neural network into a DLL. You then would switch to TradingSolutions to perform a complete profitability analysis on the neural network model. If it proves to be profitable, then you add it to your watch list and start trading the signals. You can also use the DLL as the neural network engine for new TradingSolutions models.
Create a Web-based Application that utilizes Neural Network Technology
Custom Solution Wizard DLLs can be used from Active Server Pages (ASP), allowing you to implement neural network models that users can access and use directly from your web site. You could even allow the user to upload the data to use for training the neural model. The best part is that the Custom Solution Wizard allows you to create a fully-functional Active Server Page shell to help you get started.
Pay No Royalties or Runtime Fees
Other neural network development platforms may allow you to deploy a neural network to your application, but often the network is restricted to a fixed architecture and is recall-only. If a platform does provide more flexible neural networks, the company will often require you to pay a royalty or runtime fee for any neural-network-enabled products or services you sell. With the Custom Solution Wizard DLLs, what you develop is what you own -- even learning networks!
System Requirements:
Note: Knowledge of Visual C++ is not required since this compiler is used "behind the scenes" to create the neural network DLL. |
