Example Excel Spreadsheets

To train a network with the Rosenblatt or Rumelhart software, the training file must be in the form of what we call a 'netfile'. Some examples are provided below -- a netfile is just a text file that defines network structure, defines the input patterns, and defines the output patterns. A short chapter from a book about using the software is also provided to give a description of the structure of the netfile. The book is Dawson, M.R.W. (2005) Connectionism: A Hands-On Approach. Oxford, UK. Important note: In my netfiles, the first input unit (often the first pitch-class) is A!
