MLP codes

Wanted to look at some MLP & maybe decision tree codes. I was using netlab. Yes, these are easy to code up yourself, but want one with bells & whistles, and written in C.

Here is one, looks fine. Maybe some limitations, such as only logistic function activation. Also, decision trees only seem to support classification, not regression.

This is interesting, an interactive utility. But I guess its not for me.

Quinlan's C4.5. I can't figure out if it supports regression.

I guess that if you want continuous valued outputs from a decision tree, it's called a regression tree. So I think "R" supports this, but I can't connect to the web server.

Here is an alternative called Weka

File encryption

Looks like most of computer science has left me behind. Looking for a file encryption solution for my wife. Not public/private key stuff, just a nice simple password-based encryption.

This seems to be it.

Gotta test if I can decrypt it using another utility such as:

openssl enc -d -aes-128-cbc -in infile -out outfile
