installing dependencies: go get -u gonum.org/v1/gonum/... go get -u github.com/vardius/progress-go
to compile: run command go build in the directory containing the code files
to run: run command ./fixedpointnn -flag args followed by flags
flags: numbers (train or predict with mnist numbers dataset) fashion (train or predict with mnist fashion dataset) file (run prediction on specific image file
args: numbers/fashion -train (trains net) -val (generates validation set for model comparison) -plot (trains and validates multiple iterations of model to test for accuracy at varying weight ranges) -predict (shows accuracy of stored model)
file -FILENAME (local address of file to have prediction run on)
