    • Comprehensive list of intuitive demos
    • Some require MATLAB's Neural Network toolbox
    • RBF is absent
  2. bf.tar.gz (local copy) - C library from Textbook
  3. NETLAB library - from Bishop's Book - "Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition"
    • Very well-written Set of routines
    • Demos available
    • MLP (Multi-layer Perceptron)
    • RBF (Radial Basis Functions)
    • EM (Expectation Maximization) algorithm
    • GMM (Gaussian Mixture Models)
    • KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor) classifier
    • K-means
    • GLM (Generalized Linear Models)
  4. Haykin's library - from Haykin's Book - "Neural Networks: A Comprehensive Foundation"
