ProbMap

An application that uses the problem definition approach by Professor Jorge Muniz Barreto, described in "Introdução às Redes Neurais Artificiais" (Introduction to Artificial Neural Networks). It follows the format P = (I, B, C) for modeling, mapping, and formalizing problems in general.

The Formula

Symbol	Meaning
P	The problem itself
B	The dataset of the problem
I	The set of operations, transformations, and results
C	The condition — a binary relation that satisfies the problem

Motivation

This project in Elixir is an homage to a specific individual, since I have trouble in synthesizing abstract ideas and thinking about problems in my mind, until I found an article on Wikipedia many years ago about this Problem Theory (unsure if it has been mathematically proven) and the formula has helped me a lot since then.

Usage / Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Elixir >= 1.17.3
• Phoenix Framework >= v1.8.5

Setup

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/drmcarvalho/probmap.git
cd probmap

Start

To start your Phoenix server:

• Run mix setup to install and setup dependencies
• Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phx.server or inside IEx with iex -S mix phx.server

Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.
