Flashlight

Package abandoned, use something else

project not related to similarly named flashlight. The name was coincidental and chosen independently.

Current state of package

Package abandoned, because I lack knowledge and will for further development.
"Flashlight" was supposed to be my small project that I will have fun developing, and with more knowledge I gained on the topic, the more I knew I need to rewrite whole project from base.
This is my own decision, and no one can change it. I will still develop a github version, but mostly to learn about machine learning.
Once I feel confident in my knowledge, I plan to create another neural network package, with a proper structure and propably a different name.
The package will stay on crates but without any updates.

If someone wants to publish a crate with that name, please contact me, and I will transfer the ownershit to you

Already done

Neural network structure
forward propagation
cost
backpropagation, but still in dev
normalizing input when using input handler(create InputPrePrepared(name will change), append input and output data, set bach size, generate input handler, run backprop with baches from input handler)

To do

cleaner code
relu instead of sigmoid on hidden
easier usage
f64 and f128 support
saving and loading the model

I wanted to be able to publish a pseudo finished version after version 0.0.10, but it will propably need to wait. Will try to publish V0.1.0 in like 3 months, because for the next month I wont have much time for this, and I want to also work on some games.
