//! Gaussian noise regularization layer that injects normal noise with mean 0 during training
//!
//! [`GaussianNoise`] holds the standard deviation, the shape recorded by
//! [`UnaryLayer::build`], and the random number
//! generator that draws the noise. The forward pass adds `N(0, stddev^2)` noise to the input. The
//! backward pass passes the gradient through unchanged, because the noise does not depend on the
//! input value.
//!
//! [`UnaryLayer::build`]: crate::neural_network::traits::UnaryLayer::build

/// Gaussian noise layer for neural networks
///
/// Adds random noise sampled from a normal distribution with mean 0 during training,
/// which reduces sensitivity to small input changes and reduces overfitting
///
/// # Shape freedom
///
/// The layer owns no array and reads no extent of its input. It therefore accepts a tensor of
/// any shape at rank 1 or higher. [`UnaryLayer::build`] records the input shape.
/// [`Layer::output_shape`](crate::neural_network::traits::Layer::output_shape) reports that
/// shape, but later inputs need not match it. See the "Shape freedom" section of
/// [`Dropout`](crate::neural_network::layers::regularization::dropout::dropout::Dropout)
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```rust
/// use rustyml::neural_network::layers::*;
/// use rustyml::neural_network::traits::UnaryLayer;
