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
  • FFNN has been renamed to NeuralNet
  • 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!
