Are there libraries/frameworks available for Robotics/Artificial Intelligence in Fortran? I’ve searched Google for over two weeks and I couldn’t find suitable answers. All related answers I saw were about Fortran number crunching prowess.
N.B: The question is strictly Fortran and I don’t need suggestions for other better languages for Robotics/AI…
Thank you.
Thanks for the question @Believe and welcome!
I am aware of this library:
There might be more.
Can be more specific what features you would like to see from an AI library in Fortran?
Deep Learning and Machine Learning
I am aware of a few more:
FANN (Fast Artificial Neural Network Library; written in C but has a user-contributed Fortran binding): http://leenissen.dk/fann/wp/language-bindings/
Fortran90 MLP Backprop Code (this one seems to be older and written as part of a doctoral project; documentation is poor): neural network software
FortNN: GitHub - ketetefid/FortNN: Neural Networks using Fortran
SAGRAD - a Fortran 77 program for computing neural networks: https://www.nist.gov/publications/sagrad-program-neural-network-training-simulated-annealing-and-conjugate-gradient
The code can be found here and replaces an earlier code known as NEURBT
profnet_* - neural network implementations in Fortran:
Profnet is a component of the prediction methods that make up the Predict Protein service by the lab of Burkhard Rost. It provides the neural network component to a variety of predictors that perform protein feature prediction directly from sequence. This neural network implementation has to be compiled for every different network architecture.
Unfortunately the source code seems to be private
If you would like to deploy a NN trained in Python (Keras), there is the Fortran Keras Bridge which works together with the neural-fortran code mentioned by @certik.
Thanks you very much.
