                               NeXT Application
                        Adaptive Resonance Theorie (ART)

     Neural network models based on the ART developped by
     Carpenter and Grossberg have the ability of stable unsupervised
     learning.

     In this package you will find a NeTXStep application (tested for 
     release 3.0)

         ART.app and its source code (*.m, *.h, *.nib)

     simulating the basic ART-2 network for recognition and
     classification of analog patterns. Additionally you find a modifi-
     cation of the network, which allows distributed classification
     by of superposition of orthogonal pattern components.

     A PostScript file ART.ps contains a detailed description in German
     language of my ART-2 modification, its results and a rough 
     introduction to the usage of ART.app.

     This document is the outcome of my project work at the institute
     of Technical Computer Science VI at TU Hamburg-Harburg, Germany.

     Theory and derived neural networks please have a look at
