Pankaj,<br><br>FANN looks fine. But in the proposal I would like to see something specific what you plan to do with that. Like implementing the algorithm RankNet, ListNet or something else?<br><br>Parth.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Did you check the licences? Libann's site clearly says it's GPL and as<br>
I said in the message you replied to, we'd rather not add more GPL<br>
dependencies.<br>

FANN says it is LGPL, which is probably OK. I've no idea if it fulfils<br>
the needs of the project. Parth may be able to comment more usefully,<br>
but ultimately you'll need to show us in your proposal that the<br>
libraries you're intending to use are suitable, so you'll need to look<br>
into this more deeply yourself.<br>
<br>
