I couldn’t find a Ruby-based neural network library. Anyone out there  
secretly developing one, or writing a Ruby wrapper for? Ideally, I’d  
like to use something for educational purposes like T-learn, but better  
and in Ruby.

thanks,  
russ

 FANN is Fast Artifical Neural Network Library.

 rbsnns is a pure ruby interface to SNNS, the Stuttgart Neural

Network  
Simulator ([http://www-ra.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/SNNS](http://www-ra.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/SNNS)). It  
communicates with with the “batchman” tool from SNNS via pipes.

Very cool. Thanks. Have you played around with RBSNNS at all?
