Preprocessor Class Reference #include <preprocessor.h> Inheritance diagram for Preprocessor: List of all members. Detailed Description Base class of all preprocessors that can be applied to the filtered input of a readout. Examples are normalizers, PCA and linear transformations. Public Member Functions Preprocessor (unsigned int in_rows, unsigned int out_rows) virtual void setParameter (string name, double value) virtual int advance (void) Dummy implementation. virtual int addIncoming (Advancable *Incoming) This method will be called if object Incoming wants to send information to this object. virtual int addOutgoing (Advancable *Outgoing) This method will be called if this object wants to send information to object Outgoing. virtual double getParameter (string name) virtual list< string > validParameters (void) virtual int process (const double *S, double *X)=0 virtual void reset ()=0 virtual int importRepresentation (const double *rep, int rep_length)=0 virtual double * exportRepresentation (int *rep_length)=0 int getInputRows () int getOutputRows () virtual string getFormatDescription ()=0 virtual int updateInternal () Protected Attributes map< string, double * > params A map storing pointers to the parameters. int nInputRows Number of rows for input vectors. double dInputRows Dummy for parameter setting. int nOutputRows Number of rows for output vectors. double dOutputRows Dummy for parameter setting. Constructor & Destructor Documentation Preprocessor::Preprocessor (  unsigned int  in_rows, unsigned int  out_rows )    Constructs a new preprocessor object. Parameters: in_rows  Number of rows in each input vector. out_rows  Number of rows in each output vector. Member Function Documentation virtual double* Preprocessor::exportRepresentation (  int *  rep_length  )  [pure virtual]   Exports the representation of this preprocessor for use in external objects. Parameters: rep_length  Length of the representation vector. Returns: A list of parameters that represent the preprocessor. Warning: Do not forget to free the memory reserved for the representation! Implemented in DiscretizationPreprocessor, LinearPreprocessor, Mean_Std_Preprocessor, and PCAPreprocessor. virtual string Preprocessor::getFormatDescription (   )  [pure virtual]   Returns a textual description of the representation format for import/export - Representation. Implemented in DiscretizationPreprocessor, LinearPreprocessor, Mean_Std_Preprocessor, and PCAPreprocessor. int Preprocessor::getInputRows (   )  [inline]   Returns the number of input rows. int Preprocessor::getOutputRows (   )  [inline]   Returns the number of output rows. double Preprocessor::getParameter (  string  name  )  [virtual]   Returns the current value of a parameter. Parameters: name  Name of the parameter. Returns: The value of the parameter. virtual int Preprocessor::importRepresentation (  const double *  rep, int  rep_length )  [pure virtual]   Imports the data from an externally (e.g. Matlab) trained preprocessor. Parameters: rep  Representation of the preprocessor as a double vector. rep_length  Length of the representation vector. Returns: -1 if an error occured, 1 for success. Implemented in DiscretizationPreprocessor, LinearPreprocessor, Mean_Std_Preprocessor, and PCAPreprocessor. virtual int Preprocessor::process (  const double *  S, double *  X )  [pure virtual]   Preprocess a state representation. Parameters: S  State of the liquid (= filtered response of the neural microcircuit). X  Target vector where to save the results. Returns: -1 if an error occured, 1 for success. Implemented in DiscretizationPreprocessor, LinearPreprocessor, Mean_Std_Preprocessor, and PCAPreprocessor. virtual void Preprocessor::reset (   )  [pure virtual]   Resets the information stored within the preprocessor. Implements Advancable. Implemented in DiscretizationPreprocessor, LinearPreprocessor, Mean_Std_Preprocessor, and PCAPreprocessor. void Preprocessor::setParameter (  string  name, double  value )  [virtual]   Sets a parameter of the preprocessor function. Parameters: name  Name of the parameter. value  Value to set for the parameter. int Preprocessor::updateInternal (   )  [virtual]   This function is called after parameters are updated. Reimplemented from csimClass. list< string > Preprocessor::validParameters (  void   )  [virtual]   Returns the names of the valid parameters. Returns: A string list indicating the valid parameter names.
