New version 1.3 brings important changes to calculation algorithms

Release 1.3 changelog: BaseConceptActivator.includePreviousOutput; change in output calculations: HyperbolicTangentActivator, LinearActivator, SigmoidActivator, SignumActivator include by default (includePreviousOutput = true) previous output in calculations; #17 Remove Jakarta Commons dependency, added StringUtils as substitute. What has changed in calculations and algorithms, and why Recently I’ve been in contact with Dr. Elpiniki I. Papageorgiou, I am so grateful to her because she gave me the opportunity to better understand theory of cognitive maps and learning algorithms, too! Read more →

New release bugfix release 1.3.2
