Roadmap

[Wuelle]

• Add a working implementation for basic dual number operations (Add, AddAssign etc)
• Allow interfacing with regular numbers implementing num_traits::Float
• Use standard floating point types for weights/biases, these don't require gradients.
  see Any way to dot arrays of different type? rust-ndarray/ndarray#1067
• Implement SGD using Dual Numbers
• Test Performance + Memory usage. Dual Numbers might be really bad

Can I Help? :-)

Hey, I haven't really worked on this project for a while (and it's probably fair to consider it dead ^^ )
I did some rough calculations and my initial idea of using dual numbers for automatic differentiation would lead to a completely ridiculous amount of memory required. I really appreciate the though but if you want to build a NN library you're probably better of starting a new repo. I might pick this up again at some point but I don't have the time to work on this right now. You are welcome to fork this and do whatever with it.
