I don't know about your specific problem, so I can't comment there. As
to using Neural Nets with Octave, then there are several solutions.

  * Octave-Forge (http://octave.sf.net) has the 'nnet' package which
    contains functions for Feedforward Neural Nets. I've never used it,
    so I can't comment on how to use it.

  * Some years ago, I created an Octave binding to the FANN library,
    which is a pretty good library for working with Neural Nets. My
    binding is no longer maintained, so I'm not sure if it still
    works. If you feel like trying, you can get it from
    http://hauberg.org/wiki/doku.php?id=octave-fann

  * You can use Bishop's Netlab from
    http://www.ncrg.aston.ac.uk/netlab/index.php
    I think most of this package works with Octave, but I haven't used
    it that much, so I'm not sure. If I were to use Neural Nets (which
    I doubt I would), then I think this would be the software I'd
    choose.
