Creating custom connectivity in PyBrain neural networks

Question

I want to create an artificial neural network (in PyBrain) that follows the following layout:

Answer 1

An alternative way to the one suggested by schaul is to use multiple input layers.

#create network
net = FeedForwardNetwork()

# create and add modules
input_1 = LinearLayer(6)
net.addInputModule(input_1)
input_2 = LinearLayer(3)
net.addInputModule(input_2)
h1 = SigmoidLayer(2)
net.addModule(h1)
h2 = SigmoidLayer(2)
net.addModule(h2)
outp = SigmoidLayer(1)
net.addOutputModule(outp)

# create connections
net.addConnection(FullConnection(input_1, h1))
net.addConnection(FullConnection(input_2, h2))
net.addConnection(FullConnection(h1, h2))
net.addConnection(FullConnection(h2, outp))

net.sortModules()
