Neural Network Topology

akshar

Can any one tell me how are we supposed to design a proper topology for a neural network with set of intputs ni and a finite set of outputs?

I know how to train them and all thats all simple but how to design their topology how to decide number of neurons and all?

heeeee!
I just posted the above query and saw a google ad related to my question. Second time in my life I clicked on a google ad (first time I clicked to show my gratitude to google for giving me Gmail).

Thought my problem is not solved I got some directions to move in. the link was

A person I know made a neural network, but its so confusing... I can ask him if you want.

OK, some suggestions for you.

2. Software

I've got a NN simulator/builder/editor on my website. I need to much around with it to get it to run remotely, but I should have it running pretty soon and then you should be able to access it here :

Actually I am implemting NN for Stock Market analysis
there are 17 inputs which can take any value from -10000 to +10000

How do I decide the tresh hold functions? all these seem to be serious issues and i am struggling with them.

I will be very thankfult to you if you can guide me on this.
This is my final year project and as I started my research I have realised how ambitious it is.

OK...start here and I'll come back with some more later :
