//! Cascade Correlation Training for Dynamic Network Topology Optimization
//!
//! This module implements the Cascade Correlation algorithm, which dynamically grows
//! neural networks by adding hidden neurons one at a time. The algorithm alternates
//! between training output weights and training candidate hidden neurons to maximize
//! the correlation between candidate outputs and residual network errors.
//!
//! # Key Features
//!
//! - Dynamic network structure modification
//! - Candidate neuron generation and management
//! - Cascade-specific training parameters and configuration
//! - Network topology management and validation
//! - Candidate scoring and evaluation system
//! - Parallel candidate training support
//! - Professional logging and debugging
