Method Detail

activate

void activate()

Performs computations for this link.

getSource

Layer getSource()

Returns a source layer.

Returns:

the source layer

getTarget

Layer getTarget()

Return the target layer.

Returns:

the target layer

setWeight

void setWeight(int toNeuron,
             int fromNeuron,
             double weight)

Sets a weight between toNeuron-th neuron in the target layer and fromNeuron-th neuron in the source layer. I.e. sets the element in the weight matrix to the given value.

Parameters:

toNeuron - an index of the neuron in the target layer

fromNeuron - an index of the neuron in the source layer

weight - the weight

getWeight

double getWeight(int toNeuron,
               int fromNeuron)

Returns a weight between toNeuron-th neuron in the target layer and fromNeuron-th neuron in the source layer. I.e. returns the element in the weight matrix.

Parameters:

fromNeuron - an index of the neuron in the source layer

toNeuron - an index of the neuron in the target layer

Returns:

a weight between fromNeuron and toNeuron

getWeightCount

int getWeightCount()

Returns the number of weights in this link.

Returns:

the number of weights in this link
