A 1 Day Workshop
Matlab is a commercially available “Matrix Laboratory” package that can be used as an interactive programming environment. One of Matlab’s main strengths lies in its ability to handle numeric computations involving matrices and vectors is a succinct and intuitive manner. In many computational approaches to cognitive modeling, such as Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms, most essential functions can be expressed in terms of matrix manipulations that are easily represented by Matlab. Furthermore, Matlab contains many powerful statistical and graphics utilities for analyzing and graphing the results of simulations.
This Workshop is intended to provide a hands-on introduction to Matlab’s programming language, focusing on the implementation of Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms.
Important Note: as most of the programming with revolve around neural networks and genetic algorithms, if you are not familiar with these techniques, please read the following introductions to these areas (otherwise you may be a bit lost):
