Neuralis: an artificial neural network package

This work describes a highly interactive, self-paced package, Neuralis, that can be used in Artificial Intelligence courses in general, and Neural Networks in particular, Students sometimes tend to resist theory, preferring hands-on experience. Neuralis can be easily incorporated in a traditionally taught course. Through the use of this package, one can unravel the workings and better understand the concepts and techniques behind the various principles and concepts of artificial Neural Networks. This paper describes the merits of Neuralis. Its ease of operation, and its graphical interface, that allows for instant visualization of the whole process, are highlighted.
