How do neural networks execute?

[coolguyweir]

Hi! I’m coolguyweir, an expert builder and scripter (not in Lua though). Recently, I’ve been trying to learn about neural networks. However, I can’t figure out the way that neural networks execute, or basically the process of the neural networks runnings. Can someone explain to me the process which is it executed?

This user created a Roblox implementation and does a good job explaining how NN works.

Neural Network Library (Obsolete)

The second iteration of this library was released recently: it is superior to this library in every way except raw speed. Check it out! After seeing a friend (@Auxintic) playing around with Roblox neural networks and learning how to make them, a sense of competition drove me to outdo him for absolutely no reason other than as an excuse to understand machine learning myself. For the last few weeks, I have researched neural networks from the ground up and have designed a neural network library w…

Hi! Thanks for the response. I had another question about this. If I was to make a gta 5 citizen drive a car in roblox, would I use pathfinding instead of neural network? If I’m supposed to use neural network, how will that work? because neural networks takes tens and hundreds of thousands of tries, dont they?
Thanks!

Using neural networks just to simulate citizens will be uh, sub-optimal, even if the AI are perfect they will just give you the very same result from pathfinding service.

Just use pathfinding service or define their actions manually which should be relatively cheaper as they don’t need to use the shortest path from point a to point b.
