JSci is a set of open source Java packages. The aim is to encapsulate scientific methods/principles in the most natural way possible. As such they should greatly aid the development of scientific based software. It offers: abstract math interfaces, linear algebra (support for various matrix and vector types), statistics (including probability distributions), wavelets, newtonian mechanics, chart/graph components (AWT and Swing), MathML DOM implementation, ... Note: some packages, like javax.comm, for the astro and instruments package aren't listed as dependencies (not available).

This is an implementation of the Neural Gas algorithm on distance data (Relational Neural Gas) for unsupervised clustering. We recommend that you use the functions provided by the RelationalNeuralGas class for your purposes. All other classes and functions are utilities which are used by this central class. In particular, you can use RelationalNeuralGas.train() to obtain a RNGModel (i.e. a clustering of your data), and subsequently you can use RelationalNeuralGas.getAssignments() to obtain the resulting cluster assignments, and RelationalNeuralGas.classify() to cluster new points which are not part of the training data set. The underlying scientific work is summarized nicely in the dissertation "Topographic Mapping of Dissimilarity Datasets" by Alexander Hasenfuss (2009). The basic properties of an Relational Neural Gas algorithm are the following: 1.) It is relational: The data is represented only in terms of a pairwise distance matrix. 2.) It is a clustering method: The algorithm provides a clustering model, that is: After calculation, each data point should be assigned to a cluster (for this package here we only consider hard clustering, that is: each data point is assigned to exactly one cluster). 3.) It is a vector quantization method: Each cluster corresponds to a prototype, which is in the center of the cluster and data points are assigned to the cluster if and only if they are closest to this particular prototype. 4.) It is rank-based: The updates of the prototypes depend only on the distance ranking, not on the absolute value of the distances.

Chips-n-Salsa is a Java library of customizable, hybridizable, iterative, parallel, stochastic, and self-adaptive local search algorithms. The library includes implementations of several stochastic local search algorithms, including simulated annealing, hill climbers, as well as constructive search algorithms such as stochastic sampling. Chips-n-Salsa now also includes genetic algorithms as well as evolutionary algorithms more generally. The library very extensively supports simulated annealing. It includes several classes for representing solutions to a variety of optimization problems. For example, the library includes a BitVector class that implements vectors of bits, as well as classes for representing solutions to problems where we are searching for an optimal vector of integers or reals. For each of the built-in representations, the library provides the most common mutation operators for generating random neighbors of candidate solutions, as well as common crossover operators for use with evolutionary algorithms. Additionally, the library provides extensive support for permutation optimization problems, including implementations of many different mutation operators for permutations, and utilizing the efficiently implemented Permutation class of the JavaPermutationTools (JPT) library. Chips-n-Salsa is customizable, making extensive use of Java's generic types, enabling using the library to optimize other types of representations beyond what is provided in the library. It is hybridizable, providing support for integrating multiple forms of local search (e.g., using a hill climber on a solution generated by simulated annealing), creating hybrid mutation operators (e.g., local search using multiple mutation operators), as well as support for running more than one type of search for the same problem concurrently using multiple threads as a form of algorithm portfolio. Chips-n-Salsa is iterative, with support for multistart metaheuristics, including implementations of several restart schedules for varying the run lengths across the restarts. It also supports parallel execution of multiple instances of the same, or different, stochastic local search algorithms for an instance of a problem to accelerate the search process. The library supports self-adaptive search in a variety of ways, such as including implementations of adaptive annealing schedules for simulated annealing, such as the Modified Lam schedule, implementations of the simpler annealing schedules but which self-tune the initial temperature and other parameters, and restart schedules that adapt to run length.
