A simple neural net implementation written in Rust with a focus on cache-efficiency and sequential performance.

Currently only supports supervised learning with fully connected layers.

## How to use

The preferred way to receive prophet is via cargo or github.

Compile prophet with

```
cargo build
```

Run the test suite with

```
cargo test --release
```

Note: It is recommended to use `--release` for testing since optimizations are insanely effective for prophet.

For additional information while running some long tests use

```
cargo test --release --verbose -- --nocapture
```

Run performance test with

```
cargo bench --features benches
```

## Planned Features

- Convolutional Layers: Foundations have been layed out already!
- GPGPU Support by Vulkano
- Even more flexible learning methods

## Release Notes (YYYY/MM/DD)

### 0.4.2 (2017/10/13)

- Relicensed the library under the dual license model where the user can choose between MIT or APACHE version 2.0.
- Improved performance of learning algorithms by up to 27%*. (*Tested on my local machine.)
- Updated ndarray from 0.10.10 to 0.10.11 and itertools from 0.6.5 to 0.7.0.
- Relaxed dependency version constraints for rand, num, log and ndarray.
- Usability: Added a HOW TO USE section to the README.
- Dev
- Added some unit tests for `NeuralNet` components for improved stability and maintainability.

### 0.4.1 (2017/08/27)

- Fixed long-standing undeterministic [bug](https://github.com/Robbepop/prophet/issues/2).
- Reverted `ChaChaRng` usage in `NeuralLayer::random` - it is much faster and `ChaChaRng`'s safety is not needed.

### 0.4.0 (2017/08/09)

- Updated `ndarray` dependency version from `0.9` to `0.10`
- Updated `serde` dependency version from `0.9` to `1.0`
- Enabled `serde` feature by default.
- `NeuralLayer::random` now uses `ChaChaRng` internally instead of `weak_rng`
- Devel:
- travisCI now using new trusty environment
- travisCI now uploads code coverage to coveralls and codecov.io
- travisCI no longer requires `sudo`
