Introduction to Encog 2.5 for Java

This paper serves as the primary documentation for the Encog Artificial Intelligence framework for Java. This paper shows how to install, configure and use the basics of Encog. Encog is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Framework for Java and .Net. Though Encog supports several areas of AI outside of neural networks, the primary focus for the Encog 2.x versions is neural network programming. This paper was published as Encog 2.5 was being released. It should stay very compatible with later editions of Encog 2. Future versions in the 2.x series will attempt to add functionality with minimal disruption to existing code.
