3. Submitting the data TOC
On this page:
- From the spreadsheet to the browser
- Potential problems
If you are an authorised user you can access the on-line tool through the
Data Input link in navigation bar after you log on. You may then submit
the Input and Output data to train an ANN to learn a generalisable association.
Data can now be pasted into the right boxes.
Let's do it!
First, the Inputs:
Use "Cut&Paste" to get your data from the spreadsheet to the browser.
"Input names" first.
Watch out here!
You can't just mark the row with the input name in your spreadheet, copy,
then move to your browser and paste it!
If you you look carefully, you see that we need one name per line in the
browser.
One way to get this is to insert a "carriage return" between the names.
So, mark the space between the end of one name and the beginning of
the next and press "enter".
Repeat this till you have it right.
If the lines are very long, your browser may wrap the line around.
This looks like something went wrong.
And in fact, you might have exceeded the maximum line length of the
clipboard, which is responsible for the transfer of the data from the
spreadsheet and the browser (no real solution for that by now).
... then the Outputs.....
Please notice the Submitting Rules:
- input and output names are placed in rows - each name in its own row;
- input and output data are placed in columns,
one column for each name, one
row for each case.
- For the input and output data
values in each row must be separated by at
least one tab or space character. In this example we made a straightforward
copy/paste action from our spreadsheet, which automatically places data in the
right place - one tab separation between each column of values. You can do it
this way, pasting from any Tab-delimited text file or from an Excel worksheet,
or you can introduce data manually, as long as you separate values with at
least one tab or space between each column.
- The number of rows for the input and the output data
must match.
By pressing the "Submit" button, you get a text listing of the data submitted
in the "Data Confirmation Page". If everything looks OK and the data is
introduced correctly according to the rules described you will be allowed to
proceed - pushing the "Next" button - and invited to introduce a name and a
short description for the ANN to be trained.
After this final operation you get a new screen (white bos below) confirming
that the data was submitted and an ID number is assigned so you can retrieve it
and use it later:
