Software Releases

In the past couple of months I have released new versions of NeuroLab and IronMeta.

NeuroLab version 1.2.3 is a maintenance release containing numerous fixes:

  • Fixed grid generation after resize.
  • Fixed grid viewer not always reflecting latest grid status.
  • Fixed grid saving and loading losing grid network.
  • Fixed activation gradient rendering for links of length greater than 1.
  • Fixed inhibition for links of length greater than 1.
  • Source code fixes and refactoring.

IronMeta version 2.3 contains the following:

  • Made generated code more general so it is now possible to combine parsers by inheritance or encapsulation.
  • Added the ability to use anonymous object literals in rules. They match by comparing their public properties with the input object’s properties.
  • Fixed a bug where string and char literals were not correctly handled in parsers whose input was not of type char.
  • Fixed an off-by-one error in input enumerables.
  • Generated code now compiles with Mono.

NeuroLab 1.2.1 Released

Released NeuroLab 1.2.1: http://neurolab.bitbucket.org

Neurocognitive Linguistics is an approach to linguistics developed by Sydney Lamb (http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~lamb/) which uses relational networks to model what the brain actually does when it handles language. You can read more about it at the LangBrain site (http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~lngbrain/main.htm) and Glottopedia (http://www.glottopedia.de/index.php/Neurocognitive_linguistics).

Neurocognitive Linguistics Lab (“NeuroLab” for short) is a program for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux that allows you to experiment with relational networks using a convenient GUI, and record the results of your experiments in tabular form.

NeuroLab 1.2.0 Released

Version 1.2.0 of the Neurocognitive Linguistics Laboratory is now
available at http://neurolab.bitbucket.org

Highlights of this release include:

  • The primary new feature in this release is the “Grid Item”. This
    type of network item allows you to create a small “template” network,
    along with symmetrical connections to its top, bottom, and sides.
    Then the program generates a huge grid consisting of repeated
    instances of your template, with each instance connected to its
    neighbors via the edge connections. The overall topology of the grid
    is cylindrical; the sides wrap around, but the very top and bottom
    rows can connect to other network items.
  • A simple way to input and output text to a grid is provided via the
    “Text IO Item”. This is a network item that has 256 connections in
    and out; if you connect it to a grid item that has 256 horizontal
    repeats it will feed your text (in UTF-8 format) byte by byte as
    activation to the different grid repeats, and output results from the
    grid if one of its outputs is activated.
  • There are several UI improvements in version 1.2.0, including a
    palette of network items from which you can drag items into the
    network editing area.
  • The underlying network automaton is vastly sped up in version 1.2.0
    by using seqlocks instead of mutexes to manage memory consistency.
