***Purpose*** 
 
The purpose of TDL is to provide users of neural networks with a 
specific platform to conduct pattern recognition tasks.  The system 
allows for the fast creation of automatically constructed neural networks. 
There is no need to resort to manually creating neural networks and 
twiddling with learning parameters.  TDL's Wizard can help you optimize 
pattern recognition accuracy.   Besides allowing the application user to 
automatically construct  neural network for a given pattern recognition 
task, the system supports trans-dimensional learning.  
Simply put, this allows one to learn various tasks within a single network, 
which otherwise differ in the  number of input stimuli and output responses 
utilized for describing them.  With TDL it is possible to incrementally learn 
various pattern recognition tasks within a single coherent  neural network 
structure.  Furthermore, TDL supports the use of semi-weighted neural 
networks, which represent a hybrid cross between standard weighted neural
networks and weightless multi-level threshold units. Combining both can 
result in extremely compact network structures (i.e., reduction in connections 
and hidden units),  and improve predictive accuracy on yet unseen patterns. 
Of course the user has the option to create networks which only use standard 
weighted neurons. Also included are scripting facilities and an SDK for 
embedding TDL in your own applications.
