Chap 11.   DecisionMaker-PolyNet Translation Layer

Chapters 8 – 11 introduce the Presentation Layer components, Abm2. If you do not want know the internal structure, please skip chapters 8, 9, 10, and 11. We will assume you are familiar with the Attrasoft DecisionMaker software.

This chapter discusses how to format the DecisionMaker data for the PolyNet. Attrasoft DecisionMaker is software that generates functions from historical data. The last chapter discussed the DecisionMaker in detail. The DecisionMaker uses the Abm algorithm, not the PolyNet algorithm. In this chapter, we replace the Abm with the PolyNet.

The Abm2 class library is an interface between the PolyApplet and the data used by the DecisionMaker software. There are two matching algorithms in the PolyApplet: Abm and PolyNet. The Abm2 class library will translate data for both algorithms. The Abm2 class library will play four roles:

Data Source                       Data Consumer          Description
Predictor Data                   Abm                           Chap 8
Predictor Data                   PolyNet                      Chap 9
DecisionMaker Data          Abm                           Chap 10
DecisionMaker Data          PolyNet                      Chap 11
We introduced the Abm2 class library in the last chapter. In this chapter, we will only discuss topics related to the PolyNet.

11.1   Encoding and Decoding Methods

The Encoding functions are:

bool decisionMakerEncodePolyLinear   ();
The Decoding functions are:
bool decisionMakerDecodePolyLinearReal   ();
bool decisionMakerDecodePolyLinearInt   ();
11.2   Parameters

The Parameters are:

 public double Empty-Field;
The Precision-level is fixed at 10 and is not a parameter for the PolyNet.

The Empty-Field means whenever the Predictor meets this number, it will ignore the number. The reason for this parameter is to handle cases where there are missing entries in the historical data.

11.3   Chapter Project: Encoding and Decoding

The chapter project is basically the same as the last one, with the exceptions of Abm encoding/decoding being replaced by PolyNet encoding/decoding. The file I/O part has been implemented and the neural computing part has been implemented. The only job needing to be done here is Data Encoding and Decoding.

There are two pairs of Encoding and Decoding:

Integer Prediction:

 private void button18_Click_1(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
   if ( y.decisionMakerEncodePolyLinear ())
    richTextBox1.AppendText ( "Encoding End!\n") ;
  }
private void button19_Click_1(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
   if ( y.decisionMakerDecodePolyLinearInt   () )
   y.openOutputFile ();
  }
Real Prediction:
private void button7_Click_2(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
   if ( y.decisionMakerEncodePolyLinear ())
    richTextBox1.AppendText ( "Encoding End!\n") ;
  }
private void button11_Click_2(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
   if ( y.decisionMakerDecodePolyLinearInt   () )
    y.openOutputFile ();
  }


11.4    Wisconsin Breast Cancer Database

We introduced the Wisconsin Breast Cancer database in the last chapter. Below are the last 20 rows:

These 20 rows are further divided into 2 groups:

The DecisionMaker is expected to produce the Answer file, which reflects the correct answer located in the last column.

11.5   Test Run

Step 1. Files.

The following are done automatically:

DecisionMaker Train:                  cancer1a.txt:
DecisionMaker Recognition:         cancer1b.txt:
Train:                                          example1a.txt
Recognition:                                 example1c.txt
Neural Output:                             example1d.txt
Output:                                        example2c.txt
Step 2. Encoding.

Click the “DM PolyNet Int” encoding button.

Step 3. Neural Computing.

Click the “P Distribute” button (P = PolyNet) to complete the neural computing.

Step 4. Decoding.

Click the “DM PolyNet Int” decoding button.

Here is the output:
