# Rapid-NN **Rapid Neural Networks in Rust**: A lightweight and fast neural network library that's easy to use. - **High Performance**: 4-5 times faster for simple networks on CPU than PyTorch. - **Easy to Use**: Simple API for building and training neural networks. ## Features - Support for various activation functions. - Customizable network architecture. ## Example ```rust use rapid_nn::{ActivationFunction, NeuralNetwork}; fn main() { let mut nn = NeuralNetwork::new(); // Define a network with an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer nn.add_layer(3, ActivationFunction::None, 0.0); // Input layer with 3 neurons nn.add_layer(5, ActivationFunction::LeakyReLU, 0.1); // Hidden layer with 5 neurons nn.add_layer(2, ActivationFunction::Linear, 0.1); // Output layer with 2 neurons // Define 10 predictable input-target pairs // Targets are linear combinations of inputs: // output1 = (x1 + x2 + x3) / 3 // output2 = (x1 - x2 + x3) / 3 let training_data = [ ([0.1, 0.2, 0.3], [0.2, 0.0667]), ([0.4, 0.5, 0.6], [0.5, 0.1333]), ([0.2, 0.1, 0.4], [0.2333, 0.1667]), ([0.9, 0.8, 0.7], [0.8, 0.2667]), ([0.3, 0.4, 0.5], [0.4, 0.1333]), ([0.6, 0.5, 0.4], [0.5, 0.1667]), ([0.4, 0.3, 0.2], [0.3, 0.1]), ([0.7, 0.8, 0.9], [0.8, 0.2667]), ([0.2, 0.3, 0.1], [0.2, 0.0]), ([0.8, 0.7, 0.6], [0.7, 0.2333]), ]; let epochs = 1000; for epoch in 1..=epochs { let mut total_error = 0.0; for (inputs, targets) in &training_data { let error = nn.train(inputs, targets, 0.01); total_error += error; } let avg_error = total_error / training_data.len() as f32; if epoch % 100 == 0 { println!("Epoch {}: Average Error = {:.6}", epoch, avg_error); } } // Make predictions on the training data for (inputs, targets) in &training_data { let output = nn.predict(inputs); println!( "Input: {:?} | Predicted Output: {:?} | Target: {:?}", inputs, output, targets ); } } ```
