Swift 3.1
Swift AI has been completely rewritten for Swift 3.1!
This update brings many changes, so I'd like to note a few of the biggest ones here:
- Swift 3.1 language support
- Swift Package Manager support
- Significant API improvements and syntactical changes
- Support for custom activation functions and cost functions!
- Persistent storage now uses plaintext JSON for easy readability and cross-platform support
FFNNhas been renamed toNeuralNet- Various performance improvements
We've also removed some components from this repository. Namely:
- Example projects
- Vector/matrix library
- Random number generator
The reason for removing these components is simple: in accordance with its SPM support, Swift AI is intended to be modular and expandable. Importing a neural network should not require you to import an entire collection of documentation and iOS example projects ;)
This is just Phase 1 of a series of changes that are planned for Swift AI. For the time being, the NeuralNet module will remain here in the top-level repository - but the ultimate goal is to create a GitHub organization account and continue expanding the library with new tools in their own individual packages.
Thank you for all your support and contributions!
