With the following three steps, you can set up a Disco cluster in the Amazon's Elastic Computing Cloud. This will cost you a few dollars (or more, depending on your needs) but requires no resources on your side besides a single machine that you use to setup the cluster.
In this setup Disco master and nodes run on EC2. Your Disco client can run either on the master node on EC2 or on a local machine.
The establishment of open access literature makes it possible for knowledge to be extracted from scholarly articles and included in other resources. BioLit aims to extract database identifiers and rich meta-data from open access articles in the life sciences and integrate that information with existing biological databases. We have begun prototyping this effort using a clone of the RCSB Protein Data Bank, a database of macromolecular structures.
The XOR example
Here we'll illustrate an example of how to build a neural net with the GUI editor. Suppose we must build a net to teach on the classical XOR problem. In this example, the net must learn the following XOR truth table:
