I've got a network trained and I want to save it and be able to load it later so I don't have to re-train it... duh.

End of training code:

 //Save network
 SerializeObject.save(new File("encognet"),network);
 Encog.getInstance().shutdown();

Loading File

BasicNetwork network = (BasicNetwork) EncogDirectoryPersistence.loadObject(new File("encognet"));

I get this error

Exception in thread "main" org.encog.persist.PersistError: Not a valid EG file.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

I think the problem is that you are not saving the file as an .eg extension. If this is not the problem, I'm not sure about SerializeObject.save, but I know that EncogDirectoryPersistence works for me.

So, test out this code for saving

    public static final String FILENAME = "test_load_net.eg";
    EncogDirectoryPersistence.saveObject(new File(FILENAME), network);

And then load like this

    public static final String FILENAME = "test_load_net.eg";

    BasicNetwork network = (BasicNetwork)EncogDirectoryPersistence.loadObject(new File(FILENAME));
