freekang / neuralgas Goto Github PK

These are instructions to install NeuralGas on an Ubuntu machine.
Probably this code works also in MacOS (however it has not been tested).
Please let us know if you want a version for Windows or feel free to
provide the appropriate compilation scripts.

Install following packages (Ubuntu 14.04 and higher):
qt4-qmake
libqt4-dev

Install the boost dev package. In Ubuntu 14.04 you can install libboost-dev,
libboost-program-options-dev, libboost-serialization-dev and libboost-system-dev.

Procedures to install NeuralGas:

Go to the NeuralGas root directory and type the following commands:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ccmake ..

At this point you can provide additional flags to your configuration and type 
the character [c] (configure) twice. If everything worked fine, you can finally 
type [g] for generating the makefile. The final commands are:

$ make
$ sudo make install

Installed programs are:

- NGSuite. Used for testing learning with two different data sets (MackeyGlass and NoisyAutomata) with different learning algorithms.
- LLRGNG. Testing of the Lifelong Robust GNG alg. with a simple distribution of 3 Gaussians.
- GaussianNoise. Testing of the Lifelong Robust GNG alg. with any mixture of Gaussians.
- EBGNG. Testing of a simple Error based GNG alg. with the MackeyGlass data set.
- GNGTesting. Verify the Average Error of some GNG graph given some data.
- VoronoiDiagramm. Generation of a Voronoi diagram as an image, given nodes and data.
- VoronoiWidget. Generation of a Voronoi diagram in a Qt Window, given nodes and data.

Enjoy!
